Rail Car Graffiti
What first attracted me to this view was the poster of the Native American cradling the modern assault rifle. The man in the poster, I assume, is purely a generalization as he appears to be a combination of two famous pictures. The face looks to be of Sitting Bull whilst the way the rifle is held is reminiscent of a picture of Geronimo. This poster, obviously, has some meaning to those who have been tagging this rail car. The poster does not appear to have been added that recently but none of the graffiti had been allowed to overlap the poster. I have looked endlessly on the internet to find out something specific about this image without success. If anyone can provide insight, please leave a comment below or on the blog post on my web-site at http://wp.me/p2sjov-SO

Emerald City Guitars Shop Front
From today's blog post: http://wp.me/p2sjov-RI
Since Emerald City Guitars on South Washington Street, Seattle was established in 1996 it has become a nationally acclaimed vintage guitar and amp shop that caters to major artists and high profile collectors from around the world. I confess to have only learned about Emerald City Guitars once I returned from Seattle with this shot. My attention was attracted to this amazing shop front with all its layers from the grill across the door hung with Christmas lights, to the decals in the windows and, of course, the neon signs.

South Point Lighthouse, Cove Bay, Barbados
The island of Barbados, located in the Atlantic to the east of the other islands of the Lesser Antilles, has four historic lighthouses. Three are listed as active, although there are reports that they are not always in service. All four are endangered by neglect and are much in need of restoration. South Point Light was built on the island in 1852. It had originally been exhibited at London's Great Exhibition in 1851. After the exhibition it was dismantled, brought to the island and reassembled. More of the story of this and the other lighthouses on the island, included other shots on my blog at http://wp.me/p2sjov-Rd

Lighthouse at Castillo de San Felipe del Morro
The present three-story tower, the fourth to have served to mark the entrance to Puerto San Juan, was built in 1908. The Lighthouse Board adopted a Spanish-influenced design for this brick tower, the top of which is surrounded by a crenelated parapet with an ornamental guardhouse at each corner, similar to those seen on the fort.

This image is one of the four detailed shots of buildings in the Santa Fe style on today's blog post http://wp.me/p2sjov-KU The contrast between the earth tones of the adobe and the clear blue sky, as well as the texture in the adobe mud itself, call out to be produced in Black and White. By removing the color from the images, the focus is then on the shapes and textures of the buildings.

Overhead Door
Today's image is a simple graphic shot of the side of a building at the Railyard in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I couldn't resist trying to capture the wonderful contrast of the very rusty and partially rusty sections of the corrugated walls of this building with the clean white downpipe. The actual overhead door can just be seen in the shadow at the very bottom of the shot. I did not include the door as it was the least interesting part of the building, although I loved the scrolled title on the cover of the mechanism which lifts up the door.

Moon Sculpture, Canyon Road, Santa Fe
The new moon occurred over the weekend, so I thought this would be the perfect time to show this image of a sculpture I found along Canyon Road, the famous art gallery area of Santa Fe. The wonderful craftsmanship, and especially the look of the face in the moon, really attracted my attention. I do not normally make images of other peoples art but I thought this piece was worth an exception. Full story and processing information on today's blog post: http://wp.me/p2sjov-JY

The Colors of New Mexico
The image from today's blog post: http://wp.me/p2sjov-K5
Here in the Mid-Atlantic we are in that muted, almost colorless period between the firebrand explosion of fall and the winter wonderland that comes with the first snowfall. I have chosen for the first image of this New Year a complete contrast from what is outside my window. This simple shot is a great example of the bright, cheerful colors of New Mexico.

This month I have a collection of links to some exceptional black & white photographers. Black & White images are becoming more and more popular, especially now with the great conversion systems in Photoshop and Lightroom plus the great plug-ins that are available from OnOne Software and Nik Software, for example. If you already create images in Black & White or are just contemplating this as a new avenue to explore, the photographers' web-sites highlighted in this newsletter are bound to provide you with some wonderful inspiration.
Black and White photographs can be enhanced even more by toning the monochrome conversion. The problem I have found is i... more »

Fall Colors on a Virginia Horse Farm
This image was captured just before Hurricane Sandy finished off what was left of the fall colors. I just loved the way the trees and their bright foliage framed the horse as it grazed in its paddock. Unfortunately, I could not get it to raise its head for me but I still liked the tranquility of the scene.
