Bright and Inviting
Morning Sunshine I see a lot of hotel lobbies. Some are gloomy and dark and some are bright and inviting. I like the bright and inviting.

Love That Sound
Lamp in Window The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking. – Brooks Atkinson – 1951, Once Around the Sun
After a day of flying my routine is to walk into my hotel room, throw my bags down, kick off the shoes, peel off the uniform and let out a big sigh. And, if it’s been a long day, I just flop down on the bed. Aaaaahhhh! The quiet. We call this “slam-clicking”. But, there are those times when I just quickly change clothes and head for the lobby to meet up with my crew for dinner or site seeing. Don’t want to miss out on something.
But every once in a while I walk in my room and see a potential image because we photographers are always looking. I see many scenes like the one above but for some reason this particular day it looked so different to me. Impulsively, while still in uniform and shoes on, I pulled out the camera and pressed the shutter button. Man I love that sound!

… & better than what?
... than what? I found this image in a window in Rockville, New York. It made me laugh as I just passed over the 60 year mark. Hope everyone has a great day. And, hopefully I’m getting better at this love of photography.

Morning Sunlight
Morning Sunlight I want to thank everyone for visiting the new blog site and for all your comments. I’m one of those people who acts slowly in making changes. I enjoy learning and increasing my knowledge but dislike reading the manuals. 🙂 I had trouble getting my gravatar up on my comments but it seems to be there now. Sheesh!
Yesterday morning Willow, my sisters cat, and I enjoyed the sunshine coming in the living room window. The day was a day for relaxing. I’m surprised at how tired I am and do need this time off. There are so many friends I want to connect with but know I can’t meet with all of them. I meet with several friends throughout today then crawl in bed late. Plus there is a 2 hour time change. Hope everyone has a great week!

I never saw it
Window This image came up unexpected. By that I mean I did not see this or envision it. What caught my attention was the late afternoon light. We had rain and overcast skies all day until late afternoon when the clouds broke and the sun came out casting long shadows. I saw the light against the bulding and grabbed my camera. I honestly did not see the window until I looked through the view finder and then it was all I could see. I moved around placing it in various positions in the frame while keeping my reflection out of the window. I also expected to convert it to black and white but I do like the subtle soft hues instead. I settled on this one and ran it through Topaz Adjust. I never saw it coming.
