T Minus 24 days to TEXAS!!!

Apr 012011
 

Yep, before you say anything or post a comment, I know I have been severely absent from all the blogs as of late.  Sorry about that and I am doing my best to get back in the saddle so to speak.

But enough of that.  As of today there is only 24 days left until I am kicking my heels up and hanging out with my great buddy Jeff Lynch on the next installment of the Texas landscape Safari.

I started thinking about the last trip out there and WHAT A BLAST it was to go to all these amazing locations.  I dug up some images from the old files and decided to give folks a preview of what is out there in Texas.  At the same time I thought I would play around with SEP 2 a bit more and have some fun…

 

 

If you are coming out to Texas for the event.  I will be the guy in the cowboy boots and hat (can’t miss me )

 

 

Inspired for B&W

So recently I saw a post from Kirk Tuck and it got me thinking about something B&W portraits.  At which point it got me thinking about a blog post that Sabrina Henry did a while back about going back and review old photos and adding a new look to them.  So with the double inspiration I dug back in the files and found these shots of my good friends Jeff and Misty

Has a great time shooting these, we found the great old door in the back alley parking lot of a local pub and stayed there for the better part of an hour shooting.

The conversion for this was done in Silver Efex Pro

Feeling Industrious

Alrighty, well what can I say except howdy, and sorry for the delay in posting on the regular blog.  Been busy getting ready to give a talk to some 8th Graders about photography.  But luckily my good friend Kevin gave me a call on Saturday and asked if I wanted to go shooting out and about. Me not being one to refuse an offer like that grabbed the gear, and headed out the door.  We stopped in a little town about 30 minutes North of my hometown at first which ended up being a great place for last week’s Life @ 50 project.  After that, we headed a bit South and stopped in at another town that had some nice abandoned industrial areas that had some fun shooting possibilities.  Here is a bit of what we captured:

Old double layered brick wall near the main plaza.

Main flywheel on an old conveyor system that is out and rusting nicely in the elements

On/Off switch for the same conveyor

Hydraulic controls for an old overhead gantry system at an abandoned railroad dock

Busted light at the loading dock.

All in all we only shot in the area for about 30 minutes but it was a great time and a definite GOYA exercise
