Creepy Barn

This is an awesome yet somewhat creepy barn. I found it in the outskirts of Sterling IL. tons of great farms and many abandoned ones too. Look for a minute you will see a face at least I do!

I love the arboretum

With fall coming up quickly I had to run out to the arboretum and capture some summer shots! Soon we will have lost all our summer colors and moved on to yellows and oranges! I love this nice shade of purple, and lovely shape of the tree!

Flower Power

I don't often do photos of flowers, but these were gorgeous. I had to shoot this picture. Such vibrant colors. And I printed this picture out on bamboo paper (gives it a warm tone) and it looks fab! I am all about trying new paper types. I have been having a great time with textured papers and this Bamboo paper.

Well see you all tomorrow!

Before Picture

I didn't want to skip Friday but I am home late and figured I would at least post something! Here is a before picture for the Forgotten photo I posted earlier! Kinda kewl in color too right?

Bonus Picture!

a bonus for today! I was looking at some old files and redid this one I usually have in B/W in color. It has awesome red to it and lots of neat lines etc. I just love this abandoned building. This is near my cottage in a small town called ROCK FALLS, IL

It's "downtown" area is quite abandoned and I spend alot of time out there shooting! You will see a lot more of this town! I promise!

Hope you like!

Newest Print needs a TITLE

Well as promised I have been out shooting and finding unusual things! This is my newest! I already submitted it for publishing to a local mag. but the name is not the best. I called it Pig Face. How dull. I need some help here so any suggestions would be a plus. I think it is a neat picture. I can't tell if its a real boars head or if this is wood? I was quite far from it and used a telephoto lens to shoot, but the texture was very odd!

This is exactly the thing you find out in the middle of nowhere on a Farm! LOL

Well shoot me some suggestions!
See u all tomorrow!

Day 2! Project going well so far!

ok so one of many abandoned/barn pictures will be seeing. I love going to old barns to shoot pics. I love doing most of these pictures in black and white. Not a huge fan of color when i comes to old barns. I will have more of these to come and much more!!!!

that's all for day 2, only 363 days to go!!!!

hope ur lovin it

First PHOTO

Here is my first photo I want to share and show you all

This is a lovely shot of a local cemetery in Lombard, IL. I titled it Forgotten since the stone has since faded and you can no longer see who is there.

It's a simple composition and somewhat contrasty. This photo was published last year in the Prairie Light Review!

NEW PROJECT

Ok here is my new idea! I want to posting here daily so I am going to start showing a picture a day! Talk about how and why I took the shot and share it with you all! any comments or ideas on what you want to see? shoot me some comments!
