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 […]

(Ugh! I did it again! Had this all set up but forgot to schedule it! I was in an all-day seminar and certification testing yesterday, ended up with a pounding headache, and The Hubs very sweetly decided to take me out to dinner when he got home. All my norms were disregarded. LOL Sorry about that!) […]
My, doesn’t that sound posh? Personality Portraiture It’s actually not, as you can see. But, this picture did serve to remind of a very important point – that some of my favorite portraits haven’t been the soft and smooth perfect shots, but these types, where the real personality of the subject shines through. Like this one […]
I know that railroad tracks are cliche. I know it. But, there’s a reason they are cliche – it’s because they are inherently cool. Everyone does them, because everyone likes them. And for someone with my love of shapes and lines and abstracts, they are hard for me to avoid. It’s not so much the […]
Like magpies with shiny objects, I once again am distracted by shapes in abstracts. LOLThis is actually the open structure of the roof of the train shed at St. Louis’ Union Station. I was completely distracted by the lines and shapes, however, and I couldn’t resist playing with them. Which, if you follow along here, […]
Well, I did warn you yesterday that I wasn’t quite finished with the black and whites. LOL I really liked the picture The Hubs took of me last week in this post, but I wanted just the train station, without the model. *wink* So, I got my grainy, urban, train station shot. (I would love for […]
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 […]
I took these at the request of The Hubs, who is himself a musician, as you probably know. And, of course, we completely disagree on which is the best of the two. LOL First, my favorite: See, if you know, you know I would like my guitar surrounded by nice symmetrical lines and balance. Like so. […]
Sometimes, I just can’t resist playing with the vaguely Gothic architecture and details one can find in St. Louis. The Hubs really likes these street lamps and kept pestering me to get pictures of them. So I did. Heh. Then, of course, I just had to play with it. Black and white seemed right. A little […]
I can’t believe I overlooked this shot I got at the old Missouri Mines historic site a few weeks ago! This was one of The Hubs‘ favorites from that shoot! The Hubs said this shot reminded him of something out of King Kong. LOL It’s certainly oversized, pretty intimidating, and certainly vintage. I guess I […]
