I noticed a park bench while waiting on my daughter and decided to walk all around it, shooting from every angle and perspective I could come up with. A good exercise. However, I seem to always get my pants dirty from kneeling. 🙂

Watching the Sunset
Self-Portrait It is not only the tool that makes a good photograph. It is the person behind it. – Norman J. Piluke
I have invested good money into my tools for photography and I hope to spend the rest of my life investing in the person behind those tools and every once in a while in front of those tools. Anyway, it’s Friday and another week has quickly come and gone. I’ve gotta quit blinking so much these weeks are blazing by.

Bench and Shadows
Shadows I saw the shadows from this bench as I came around the corner, almost a half block away. As I walked towards it my mind was looking for the best angle of the light, the composition, the backgrounds and exposure. After I had worked the scene, I had to laugh at myself as I realized how focused I was in getting over there. I could have walked in front of a car. Then there would not have been any image to post. Sheesh!

A Morning Walk
The Potomac River It was warm and muggy. After the short walk the sweat on my body was causing my shirt to stick to my back. When the wind blew the coolness felt good. It was quiet morning, very few people were out and yet it was after 8:00 am. The empty park felt as if it was all mine. In my imagination all the empty benches were calling me to sit and rest. So, I picked one. I wrote a few thoughts and observations in my moleskin, enjoying the peacefulness of the small park. I also took a few shots of what I saw to help document the moment. It was a good morning walk.

I’m one of them ….
The Red and Yellow Bench Benches. They’re everywhere. Parks. Bus stops. Peoples front yards. Hotel lobbies. Airports. Train stations. Churches. I must admit I’m one of the many photographers who finds benches as an interesting subject and has a few archived on our drives. Yep, I’m one of them.

The Bench and Shadows
The Bench and ShadowsTaken on an afternoon walk in Oklahoma City. We had a beautiful sunny afternoon, temperatures in the 60’s and late afternoon shadows which, my friends, is an invitation to take the camera for a walk. Afterwards, I met the two pilots for hot wings and a refreshing lemonade at Hooters for dinner. Life is good!
