Photo of The Week (sort of): Lazy Blogger Edition

Some of you may have noticed that the Photo of the Week Post has turn into the Photo of Whenever I Get Around to It Post. I have been really busy lately (not really a good excuse) but I promise to do better in the future. On the bright side that means I will be posting a lot of awesome pictures from all the sessions I have been shooting and editing lately instead of blogging. In the mean time here is a picture I shot a couple weeks ago when the fog was nice and heavy. I shot it with the white balance set to tungsten which gives the image a bluish cast enhancing the cold and misty feeling of the image.

Photo of the Week: Laundromat Edition

I've been making trips up the the laundromat this week again for the first time since my sophomore year of college. Ahh yes there is nothing quite like the sweet smell of detergent mixed with bleach hanging in the stifling air of a large room without air conditioning filled with large commercial driers. The water pump on our washing machine went out and the repair man had to order a new one so it looks like I will be stuck doing laundry at the laundromat for at least a week until the part comes in. So while I was waiting for the rinse cycle to finish I snapped a few pictures for my series on ordinary things.

Photo of the Week: Vermilion

Today's Photo of the Week is another flower image, I know I have a lot of them but I like flowers. I have great appreciation for people who can actually grow them. I have completely given up on any type of gardening, I have the Typhoid Mary Touch otherwise known as a Black Thumb. My house is where innocent plants go to die. That's why I enjoy photographing them so much- it's the only way I can keep them in my house. This image is all about color- vermilion to be specific. I cropped it close to draw focus the gently sloping curve of the petal as well as the brilliant red-orange color.

Photo of The Week: Sun Flower Edition

This photo doesn't have a title yet so if you have any good ones let me know! I have always struggled to give my work appropriate titles. I want something that conveys the meaning of the piece but isn't cheesy. And cheesy is all I've got right now. I took this image while on one of my photo walks. I came upon a group of sunflowers and composed the image to include three flowers in various stages of growth. It shows the life cycle of the sunflower (without death of course we are trying to keep things positive).
