Photographing Under The Influence

Not that kind. During my recent visit to Dallas, and while I wasn't working, I got to do a little bit of the touristy type stuff that I love so much. Which might be a little different than the 'regular' touristy type stuff. When traveling, I really love to kind of take in the city. Pick a few blocks and live the life. Eat at the local spots,

Mustangs of Las Colinas, Continued.

While on my recent visit to Dallas, Texas I had the chance to visit the planned community of Las Colinas, Texas. It is there you will find a bunch of huge corporate headquarters, at least one very cool hotel called the NYLO, and a really neat sculpture installation in the middle of the town fountain! The sculpture is called The Mustangs of Las

Wild Horses Could Not Drag Me Away…

Recently, I had the opportunity to travel to Dallas, Texas for some business. Well, you may be asking, how can a photographer travel anywhere and not take a few 'non work' pictures? I confess. I did. Take some non work pictures. I visited a town called Las Colinas, which translates to 'The Hills'. I wonder if they had to change the name to

2 Versions of the Final Barn! And the winner!

Of all the beautiful barns I got to see this month, this photo stands out for me. I know that pictures to photographers are probably supposed to be like kids to parents - you're not supposed to have favorites, right? (But I also know that I was definitely my parent's favorite!) Thanks to everyone who made comments or emailed ideas and

Final 2 Barns/Beauty’s Where You Find It

Getting busy! The Barn A Day devolved into a barn an every once in a while! Yikes! So today and tomorrow will be the final two barns of the series. I really appreciate everyone who provided suggestions for sites. Over half the barns in the series were recommended by you guys - and there were even more suggestions that I couldn't even get to - at

Barn 10!

This image was taken on my drive up to Argyle, NY at a Standard Bred farm. The man who was taking care of the horses was a really nice guy. We talked about the agriculture in the area...one of the farms had just sold out to a housing developer directly behind his stables. This stable's horses run at Saratoga Harness and some other tracks in NY and

Barn #9

One week to go in the Barn A Day project! This is another image from the same barn featured in barn #8 last week. I love how the polarizing filter I used created the contrasting colors in the sky, and how both blues complement the blue of the silo. The red of the barn sets everything off perfectly. I also really enjoy the contrast of wood and

Man, when I started this project I never thought to look at my calendar! Good thing I'm the only one holding me accountable! I've been out of town for a week or so and just got back. Today's barn is brought to you by Krystal from images of u photography. Not only does she do great photographic work in the Glens Falls area, but she was also kind

Barn #7

Great photographers are always aware of their total surroundings. And every once in a while, okay photographers like me get lucky!  And there was definitely some luck involved in finding this scene. Driving down a mostly deserted road, I had just passed the barn you see here. I looked at it out my passenger side window, and dismissed it as a

Barn #6

Thanks to Jim in Selkirk for getting me out that way! This barn was just perfect for the day. I really want to get back here, too, because there were a couple of really great structures sitting right next to this one. The only problem is, they were set back on some seriously posted land. Hopefully the next time I go back, the landowner will be
