Took a hike earlier today in Mt. Airy forest. I saw some early signs of spring! What a good feeling it is to see some blooms and some greenery! I believe this is Purple Cress. Nice little wild flower.

I definitely have not been practicing as I should. I think things plateaued and I became frustrated.

Image of a sign hanging in front of a store that simply says "goods". The image is taken at a dutch angle, the building is behind the sign and is slightly blurry.
I'm not sure what they sell here. Probably some sort of service.

A picture of a building cast in an eerie green light. Yellow light comes in from an alley to the left. The vibe is moody and atmospheric.
Took a little night walk on Friday. This lamp was casting a pretty eerie light on the building behind it. I enjoy the way the yellow light is spilling out.

Photography of a restaurant. Taqueria is written across the top. Pata Roja is written in the window. The front is painted seafoam green and highlighted with yellows and reds. Shadows breakup the colors on the logo of the business. The scene is brightly lit from midday sun.
The photo was taken on Court Street in Cincinnati, OH.
Another from yesterday. I enjoyed the way the shadows from the fire escape played with the colors. I've not eaten here, so I can't review their tacos, sadly. This was taken on my K10D with a 135 mm lens.

Looking up at the massive, dark red brick facade of Cincinnati Music Hall. The ornate Rose Window is the centerpiece, framed by intricate Gothic arches that create deep, moody shadows. It feels heavy, historic, and grand.
A sprawling mural of a woman with a serene expression, her shoulders draped in a vibrant red shawl. She's holding a pen or a quill.
A mural of two Cuban women playing the drums. I believe the mural was inspired by Celia Cruz. The background is pink and it says AzΓΊcar! above them.
I played hooky from work & spent some of the day taking pictures in Over-The-Rhine, Cincinnati. I took lots and lots of photos.

Still life of a textured vase. The light is coming from the right. The vase is sat on orange / pink fabric decorated with flowers.
I also took a photo of this vase, I did enjoy the way the shadows play with the texture of the vase. Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

I nearly didn't get my daily picture in! I quickly grabbed some items around the house, some fabric, and a small clip light. My goal was to play with some shadows and see if i can create with as little as I could. Here are some alliums :)

Macro image of a cedar tree with English Ivy. The trunk of the tree is visible on the write with three ivy leaves (mostly) in focus.
Another day, another picture. Still trying to take, and post, a picture a day. It's the same cedar as yesterday. Today I captured some English Ivy that had wrapped around the tree.

A picture of a cedar branch. The grey branch is on the left of the frame, the needles on the right. There are some barely visible berries on the branch.
I'm trying to challenge myself to take a picture every day. Here is todays. It's a cedar tree in my backyard. I had it wide open & missed the focus on the foreground, also the composition is a bit off IMO. What are your thoughts?

A symmetrical, eye-level shot of a locked iron gate guarding a dark brick tunnel. Glowing overhead lights lead the eye toward the back, under a vintage metal sign that reads "ARCADE." The mood is quiet and atmospheric.
I finally edited one of the photos from Friday's night out with friends (I posted this shot earlier, but just straight from the camera). I've cropped & adjusted some of the color for the β¨aestheticβ¨. Pentax K10D, 50mm vintage lens.

Two colorful star-shaped mandalas on a dark brick wall. The patterns are made of sharp triangles in shades of lime green, violet, and yellow. One mural is larger than the other, and they're both painted right over the bricks and around the building's pipes.
Another image from yesterday's urban hike with my son. Two mandalas painted on the side of a building. I thought they were lovely and colorful. Shot on a Pentax K10D with Pentax-M 50mm f/2. Super budget setup.

Urban hike with my son today. Lovely crispy day out. Shot on a Pentax K10D with a Pentax SMC 50mm F/2 manual lens. I don't recall what I had the F stop set to for this picture.

A street shot of a street with overhead lights angled down the sidewalk. A person leans against a door on the side.

A view down a well lit alley with a chandelier overhead
First night out with my vintage 50mm f/2 Pentax lens. It's a fully manual lens, and was a great learning experience.
