Daily Picture #7

Sorry for missing a post yesterday. You know how it gets sometimes. Two pictures today to make up for it.

We're now into pictures I took after Boston.
First up is one I took in Sn Fransisco during Fleet Week.


- Mesh

This one is interesting because of the two opposite corners. There's granite in the lower one, and the upper shows the higher stories of the building. Then of course in between is the Metal latticework that caught my eye in the first place. You can also see the transamerican pyramid in the reflection of the glass.




- Gold

I love this picture. It's easily in my top 3. I shot it right after a storm had blown through, from my roof in the morning. The colors remind me of the film 'The Fountain'. Not much else to say here.
- Enjoy

Daily Picture #6 + 300th post

Woo hoo! Post #300! *looks around and notices that no one cares*
Well hopefully someone out there is still reading. I'm celebrating by posting three pictures today, which will finish up my collection of photos from Boston.


- Walking Away

I took a few like this and edited them slightly. I loved how there was this random reflection pool in the middle of the city. I wish we had gone there earlier in the day because we had driven by it and the water was completely calm and still and looked just like a mirror.




- Abandoned Dock

This looked so creepy to me. We were out on the point of the cape in the middle of a bustling downtown, and out on the beach is this abandoned dock that's falling apart. It looked so neat with the bright sand in front of it.




- Chatham Beach and Tennis Club.

Not much to say about this one. I like the whiteness of the house I guess...

-enjoy and leave comments!

Daily Picture #5

Fallen Comrade


This was the first picture for me that I really looked at artistically. I purposefully set up the angles and framing for this shot. It's so interesting. The blackness of the box, the little reflections of the glass, the symbolism (which I thought was most important/cool), and the colors.

Daily Picture #4

- King's Chapel

I took this while on our historical tour around the city. The chapel was a little bit creepy. I thought the obelisk in the front looked really neat.
Enjoy

Daily Picture #3

For some reason this was on the outside of a historical building in downtown Boston. Does this mean the wall are lined with lead? I don't know, but I thought it was interesting and photo worthy.

Also: Be aware that you can click the photo to view larger sizes (for those of you with extra large monitors) You can also comment the photos on flickr.

Daily Picture #2

I really love all of these pictures I'll be posting, so I feel like I really shouldn't ever start off a post saying "I really like this one". I'll try not to.

I took this in Boston at Fenway Park while on a tour of the stadium. The tour was so much fun. I've always seen Fenway on tv all my life since I used to play baseball and my dad and I are big sports fans so it was incredible to actually be there walking around the stadium that's full of history.

This shot stands out for me because of all the colors. The red rail contrasts very nicely with the vibrant green field. I was walking by and originally wanted to take this shot closer without the rail, but then as I stepped back I realized how neat it would look. I'm glad I looked twice since this turned out so nice.

Daily Picture #1

This picture is what really got me thinking about taking photography seriously. It's still really high on my all time favorites. We were in Boston this summer and I was in charge of the camera. I didn't really know what I was doing sine I hadn't done any reading or had any training on how to take good pictures. Most of them turned out great. I was really happy and this is what got me started. Enjoy!

Daily Picture

Starting today I'm going to try to post one picture a day from my personal photography collection. I'll be working through this album on flickr, so go ahead and spoil the surprise if you'd like

Excuses and Direction

So I basically picked up a who cares anymore mind set as I've let the blog decompose for the past 4 months. I'm not sure what type of content I'm going to be posting now since I'm pretty busy these days. Maybe some more personal posts. We'll see. I have some new hobbies which I'll touch on later, and I make new videos of these activities each week normally. I'm thinking with a little commentary they could work. As always, I'm on Ytmnd checking things out there but to be quite honest the site's kinda died in the past months. Content sucks and no one is using it anymore. I'm pretty big into photography these days, so I think I'll do an every other day picture pick.
All this is just rambling thoughts. If you have any ideas suggestions or comments feel free to leave them.

Explanation

This is my response to a comment on my last post from August last year...

The reason why I haven't posted in a while:

"College started and I got a girlfriend. I also felt that no one read it because comments were non-existent. After I took some time off no one really seemed to notice so it just kept getting worse. I'll post occasionally I guess. It's a bad thing that I took so much time off. "

So I'm slowly going to be starting things back up. More to come tomorrow or later tonight.
