Come on over to the new place!

Effective immediately, I am now located over at The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit. I am working on getting over all my old photos, but should be done soon.

Fill 'er Up

I haven't had a whole lot of inspiration lately, so since it's been some time since I posted regularly I'll just clear out the archives. This abandoned gas station is located just off Route 10 in Whippany, NJ (maybe Parsippany, I'm not sure). This was just before sunset last October. Despite the good sun angle, the color shots didn't turn out quite like I hoped they would so I went the grainy B&W route.

Christmas Candle

Is it too late to post Christmas images? Well too bad. This isn't Christmasey per se, but in the interest of full disclosure I will say it was taken that day. If you want to pretend it's President's Day candle or something, that's cool.

Flemington Sunset

OK, so technically it's a Raritan Township sunset. This was taken a few weeks ago by my wife, and since it's better than anything I've done in awhile I thought I'd share.

Everything but...

Well, still no luck on the winter front. I think I've seen about 18 flakes so far. So here's another shot from the fall. I don't know what struck me about this particular sink, other than it was on the back porch of a business. So that's not usual I guess.

Lil' leaf

Yeah, I know it's essentially winter. But I haven't seen more than a few flakes of snow, so some holdover autumn pictures will have to do for now. : )

Fireplace

As the cold eases its way in, I find myself wishing I had daily access to one of these. : (

Random fungus

Some random fungus, captured at a park near Lake Carnegie in Princeton.

Railroad crossing

I've had a bit of a dry spell since late summer. Not really feeling any inspiration. So I forced myself to get out there and shoot. I'm glad I did, as I got some decent stuff. This is from one of my old standbys - the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park. This is near the Millstone Bridge in Kingston.

Civil War experiment

Last weekend we visited a Civil War re-enactment near Lambertville, NJ. The turnout wasn't that great and it was pretty damn hot, but I did get some decent shots. I took the opportunity to try out a new technique for making one of the photos look "genuine." For comparison, I've included the shot in splendid color.

Butterfly Festival, Pt. 1

Taken today at the 6th annual Butterfly Festival, at the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed.

Barn sunset

Horse scene

I hadn't planned to make this an artsy-fartsy shot, but the original image quality wasn't so hot. So using my trusty Photoshop plugins, I created this.

1953 Cadillac

Another from the Flemington car show...

Hay is for Horses

GTO Street

A gaggle of GTOs cruising down Main St. in Flemington, during the July 29 car show.

1954 Lincoln Capri dashboard

Shot today (July 29) at a classic car show in Flemington, NJ.

Sunset Steeple

Taken on location in Worcester, MA.

Rusty Gate

Bleeding Hearts

No, not those kind of bleeding hearts - the flower kind. Specifically, a nice example found at the Frelinghuysen Arboretum back in May.
