Love Park Fountain

Not nearly as good a shot as I wanted to post today, but circumstances have conspired to prevent a good posting. Turns out my best friend (*) from high school…

Okay, I have just too many Centralia shots that I like and want to post. Some will have to wait; I also have PennRelays shots which I’ve promised, and a…

Broken

Broken

I don’t know what happened to this piece of wood, but it was very interesting to look at.

Pine Fresh

Pine Fresh

I understand the tree shape… but what’s with this color scheme? Is this camouflage from someone on acid?

Steel Can

Steel Can

It’s not every day that you see a steel can lid. Centralia had trash ranging from 1962 right up to the present day.

Portal to Centralia

Portal to Centralia

Today’s Centralia theme: Found Art. Out of frame is Tony Green, being my prop man.

Wedgewood

Wedgewood

While climbing down a pile of decidedly warm rocks, Kathleen spotted this plate and guided me over to it. I’m glad she did; it’s one of my favorite shots from…

Pooh

I’ve got a number of Centralia shots that I want to post, so I’m going to break with tradition and put up multiple posts per day until I’m done. I’m…

Dead Tired

Dead Tired

I didn’t mean to miss yesterday’s photo. Today was the Philly Photobloggers meeting in Centralia, and I spent the night in Fracksville instead of leaving home at 4 AM. Trouble…

Reflection

Contemplation

Contemplation

One of the last shots I took in Drexel’s quad. They’ve ripped up the entire quad (even removing The Shaft fountain), cut down most of the trees, and I have…

It’s not a great picture but I have reason to post a shot of Scott and Lynn today. This shot is from last year, when Jake was still in the…

Evening Steeples

Evening Steeples

I’m going through old shots and clearing off the hard drive (4 GB gone and climbing). I couldn’t bring myself to throw this one out, so I figured I’d better…

Preening

Preening

Another shot from yesterday’s water scene.

Pond Scene

Pond Scene

I’m using a cheap Canon 75-300 IS USM lens which is quite soft. Add a circular polarizing filter and a Tamron 1.4x teleconverter and it gets *really* soft and dark.…

Etnies

Etnies

I don’t know what the heck an Etnie is, but here’s one of ’em.

Workout

Workout

I’m not really sure what this woman was doing, but it demanded that I take the shot.

Arithmetic Book

Arithmetic Book

A reject from the “Library Books” shoot, this is from the rare books floor of UPenn’s Van Pelt library. This book is circa 1760.
