  • Morning Roses [photos 2012]

    My morning walk continues to provide the best opportunities for photos. Today’s photo features roses at a neighbor’s drive entrance. This post is part of my One Photo Per Day of 2012 project. Technical details: iPhone 4s using Camera+.

  • Rural Fire Plug [photos 2012]

    A couple of years ago our town painted all the fire hydrants. Guess red wasn’t interesting enough. Some people might think this one is also strange because it’s not surrounded by concrete. Welcome to rural TN! This post is part of my One Photo Per Day of 2012 project. Technical details: iPhone 4s using Camera+.

    Curious Cats [photos 2012]

    I’m ‘cheating’ again today, but I really liked this photo. I had a virtual tour shoot in Huntsville today and the homeowner had a couple of cats. They ended up in this photo. They’re not very noticeable, and I’ve cropped it in pretty close, but I still thought it was funny enough to use for…

  • Roadside Daisy [photos 2012]

    This is really considered a weed, but I still liked it. I couldn’t get the lighting to look exactly the way I wanted it. The background went from too dark to to light, but the evening sum on the petals is pleasing. This post is part of my One Photo Per Day of 2012 project.…

  • Spring Wheat [photos 2012]

    Genetically modified. Government subsidized. Too close to home. Still makes for a nice scene and springtime photograph. This post is part of my One Photo Per Day of 2012 project. Technical details: iPhone 4s using Camera+.

  • College New Testaments [photos 2012]

    Today was the second and final day of the Spring Bible distribution at the Lawrence County campus of Columbia State University. Thankfully the administration is always accommodating to The Gideons and we were successful in distributing around 425 New Testaments. We actually have three new cover styles for a total of four, but I decided…

  • Smurftastic [photos 2012]

    This guy pulled out in traffic ahead of me today and thanks to the quick-access camera controls on the iPhone I was able to capture it. A full side view of the car would have been even better. I am not even going to speculate about the motivations to paint a car like this, but…

  • Happy Easter [photos 2012]

    I’m not a big proponent of the Easter Bunny, preferring to try and keep focus on what the day really is for, celebrating Jesus’ resurrection. I didn’t get a good serious photo though, and Savannah was really happy with this new doll, so . . . This post is part of my One Photo Per…

  • Early Peony [photos 2012]

    More evidence of our abnormally early Spring. This Peony bush usually doesn’t bloom until May. I’ve mentioned weather in several posts, but today was just picture perfect. Temps stayed around 70 F, very light breeze and just enough puffy clouds to keep the sky interesting. I took advantage of the weather by cutting and trimming…

  • Radio Flyer [photos 2012]

    This is Savannah’s little red wagon. I like the Radio Flyer brand. I guess it brings back memories of riding off the hillside in my own wagon back when I was a kid. The sunset gave some good light too. This post is part of my One Photo Per Day of 2012 project. Technical details:…

Got any book recommendations?
