Took this last weekend, while The Hubs and I were exploring downtown. Loved the perspective of the modern buildings with the peek of the gothic City Hall building in the background. And the rain. I went for a little moody on this process, with just a touch of HDR. Just a bit of the cinematic […]

I didn’t have anything prepared for today and I ran across this one, stuck at the back of my workflow and, of course, I had to do it, because it’s got curved lines, which is almost as good as shapes. LOL Being a gritty old track, it called for a gritty old finish. So I […]
So, I got to working on this shot I took of a local fountain. I’m playing with my painty-heavy-color techniques again, sort of the style I play with when I’m doing my RenFaire photos. But, of course, when I took the picture initially, I had temporary blindness and didn’t see the big fat trash can […]
Wednesday, I shared part one of the McPike Mansion photo tour and, yesterday, I shared part two. Today, we participate in a Seance and finish out the tour! After we got to look inside the upstairs of the house and had the presentation on the family history of the property, a very nice lady took center stage. […]
So, yesterday, I shared part one of the McPike Mansion Photo Tour, put together by the owners of the mansion and the Alton Area Photography Group. Today, we take a look at what happened after dark! 😀 The mansion itself is still condemned, even though the owners have put a lot of money into it already […]

So, Sunday night, The Hubs and I had joined an event being hosted for an Alton area photography group at the McPike Mansion, one of the most haunted houses in the Midwest and once featured on a television program documenting the Scariest Places on Earth. And, now that she’s got some free time, as her run as […]
This is an outtake from my time spent at Union Station last week. I’ve messed around with it quite a bit and I can’t make up my mind on it. Part of me likes it, part of me isn’t sure anyone else will. LOL Care to weigh in with your thoughts? (I would love for […]
The Hubs took Monday off work and he and I went on our first long ride together since he road his century a couple weeks ago. If you recall from my own post about the BikeMS Photoshoot, he bought me a camera bag for my bike and I was anxious try give it a go. It was […]
Over the weekend, on Saturday, The Hubs and I had a little BBQ at a local park. The same day, The Great Forest Park Balloon Race was run and we got to watch the beautiful balloons float overhead. This was not shot at the point of take off, but quite a ways away. It was really […]
