Day 334/365 - Drain

Ok, so usually I tell you why I took a particular photo. However, art is about interpretation so I will leave that up to you for this one. Why did I take this photo?

Day 333/365 - Charity

These containers are put there for a good purpose. They say Donate Clothes and Shoes, and there are Bed Posts and Mirror's. They say Book Recycling and there's a stuffed animal and a television. Come on you inconsiderate lazy people, can't you freaking read? It's people like you that make this world a mess. Please dispose of your stuff the responsible way and don't bring the people or companies that are trying to make a difference into it.

Peace Out!

Day 331/365 - Sunset

During my walk I saw the sun setting. However, the photo did not look like this originally. I had to do some post processing to get the different colors. Photography is an art, before during and after the shot. Let me know what you think.

Ok, so I took a photo of a sponge. I admit, not my best work, but I wasn't feeling too well tonight, so here is a sponge in black & white. I need to get some rest for turkey day!

Day 326/365 - Which Is The Last Straw?

I originally was going to do a colorful photo but changed my mind right before posting it. Black & White actually brings this photo to life. What do you think?

Day 325/365 - Made History

When you see someone walking down the street with a pair of these hanging from their head, what is your first thought? What's the device or family of devices that you first think of? The Creative Rio or the Sony Walkman? Yea right! A lot of people (mostly younger folk) that use an iPod don't realize how much this creation has changed the way we listen to music. Great work Apple, but don't let us down now that the creator is watching over from the big orchard in the sky.

Day 323/365 - Sunset Through Trees

While I going for my daily walk, I saw this sunset through the trees. It's not as colorful as one would think, but it was all about the moment when I saw it and what I was thinking at the time that struck me. However, what I was thinking will be kept to myself ;) Enjoy!

Day 318/365 - Bubbles

The photo for Day 317 was not an actual photo of the stars. It was a photo of bubbles from my kids bubble bath. I had the flash on and took the photo up close with my iPhone. I then adjusted the exposure, contrast and the amount of black in the photo during post-processing. All the star like objects were the result of the flash's reflection in each bubble. Pretty cool effect huh? Thank you to those that participated in my trick photo.

Day 317/365 - Starry Night... Or Is it?

Here is a photo I took with my iPhone. It looks like a nights sky, but it's very deceiving. Try to guess what I actually took a photo of. Yes I did some editing to get it this way. Good luck and enjoy!

Day 314/365 - Leaf Flipped Over

This is a different leaf than the previous photo, and it's the back side of it showing the non-colored side. I guess you can say I turned over a new leaf. Bada Bing!

Day 313/365 - A Single Leaf

I went out in the back yard today to find the perfect leaf that has fallen to the ground. Since there are thousands of them in our yard, this was not easy. Enjoy!

Day 311/365 - Don't Make Me Moon You!

I'm sure when you saw the title of this post you might have cringed or maybe threw up in your mouth a little. Don't worry I'll keep that to myself. Just another photo of my favorite subject, the moon! Not full yet, but in three days it will be. With the New England weather, I figured I had a clear night tonight so why not take it. If I can see the full moon in three days, I will take another. Enjoy!
