This was taken at the Black Swamp Arts Festival in Bowling Green, OH. Some kids having fun creating awesome art.

Train Man

I cropped the heck out of this one. I also desaturated everything but the reds, so it's almost B&W. Then I added in my own lens flare, which isn't coming from exactly where the sun is, but I'm hoping it's not super noticeable. Now I told you so you'll notice :) Just playing around a bit. I've had a little photo dry spell...

BG Water Tower

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 19:05 -0500

You guessed it! This is a photo of the Bowling Green, OH water tower. Well, one of them anyway. It was taken late afternoon, so there is a nice yellow glow back lighting the old tower. I didn't really do much to this one. Just upped the blue saturation a wee bit.

Meter Mania

A freaking ton of meters in an alley not far from my home! There were more, but my lens was not wide enough and I could not get further back from them.

Funny Bike

This hilarious bike was sitting next to the Bowling Green custom glass store. It has raccoon tails hanging from it! I love it! I cranked the contrast on this one, put a mad vignette on it, and added some noise. I need to find some new locations. Maybe...

Pole and Sunburst

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 20:00 -0500

This was a light pole on the Southeast corner of Wooster and Main St. in downtown Bowling Green, Ohio. I just cropped it down a bit and did some very light Curves and Saturation adjustments. This is what I came up with.

Blue Typewriter

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 21:31 -0500

So I had a bad photo day. Didn't end up with any shots that I was super happy with. This is a typewriter that is in the group room at Grounds for Thought. It was too dark to get a good exposure so I used the on camera flash. Thus the lighting is flat. I pretty much Photoshopped the crap out of this one, just to come up with something semi-interesting. If you want to know what all I did, shoot me an email and I'll give you the lowdown. But it was too much to cover in this post. Better luck tomorrow...

Back Alley Apartment - Bowling Green, Ohio

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 10:22 -0500

This was shot behind my Apartment in Bowling Green, OH. I adjusted it in Photoshop CS4 with Curves and a B&W filter. I darkened the blues in the sky, upped the contrast a bit, and masked out the white building in the Curves layer to keep more of the detail. Enjoy!
