Winter study in browns

Again, I shot this last month while in Atlanta.  It's from Piedmont Park.

Once again, shot in Atlanta last month.  In the first couple days, it was wonderfully foggy.

Spring

The theme for this week on vfxy is "Spring" so here you go.  I shot this last Spring in Eastern Jackson County out on a country road, East of Independence--who knows where.  All I know is it's great that it's finally sunny and milder, right?  These blooms and blossoms will soon be here.

Have a great weekend, y'all.

Lichtenstein at the High II

The Roy Lichtenstein house sculpture, from the garden at the High Museum in Atlanta, Ga., shot last month.

ripples

Not that it really matters because it's potentially such a near-universally possible picture but this is from the lagoon in Piedmont Park in Atlanta, Georgia last month.

Plaza sunset

Okay, I always used to just want to put up the photography only--no descriptions--so the photos would speak for themselves.  I've changed my mind.  I think a little background sometimes, if not all the time, might be helpful for viewers.  Anyway, this was shot in the first week of March, at sunset, down just off our Country Club Plaza, at the library building.
Funny thing was, I was shooting this because I liked the sunlight on the building against the sky when all of a sudden a security guard came out and said I couldn't do that.  Crazy.  "Okay, whatever."

Toy

This week's theme on the vfxy photo blog is--again, you guessed it--"toy".
What better time than to show our city's own toys?

Happy Fat Tuesday, y'all.

Lichtenstein at the High

This is a shot of the High Art Museum's garden in Atlanta between buildings, which is also the space they put their Roy Lichtenstein piece.  I thought it made a good shot and the piece itself is a lot of fun.  I'll post more in days to come.

Midtown II

Also from Atlanta, GA.
I think this one was my favorite of the series.  This was between the condominium where I was staying and the High Art Museum in Midtown.
I was walking along without my camera when I looked up and saw this.  I immediately knew I had to come back and shoot it.

Atlanta again, however, not Kansas City, so you know.

study in brown

I found this while walking in Piedmont Park in Atlanta Georgia, last month and loved it.  When I saw all the color and how different this is from what we have here in the area, I thought it might shoot well.

Favorite part of town

From the Bloch Gallery of Contemporary Art, here in town, of course.  The "Theme Day" for today--for March, really--on City Daily Photo is "Your Favorite Part of Town."  I have more than one but this is certainly one of them, for sure.  I shot this when the gallery first opened in the Summer of 2008.

H. Strong

I was recently in Atlanta and shot this.  I believe it is the H. Strong building.  It is a striking piece of architecture, at many times of day and from many angles.  I liked how several of them turned out.  As an aside, I dedicate this to my sister who celebrates a birthday today.

Imbalance

This week's theme on the vfxy photography site is--you guessed it--"imbalance".  I thought it another good excuse to highlight the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum and our shuttlecocks by Coosje Van Bruggen.  I shot this December 1, 2009 on the way to work, for what it's worth.

Have a great weekend, y'all.

Yes, it's Midtown.
No, it's not Kansas City.
It's Atlanta, Georgia.

Naturally (no pun intended) I was thrilled with how this turned out.

Happy Ground Hog Day, y'all.

(And happy birthday, Dennis!)

Fountains

Today's theme day on City Daily Photo is, you guessed it, "Fountains" so here goes.
Loose Park, here in town, of course, late last Summer.

Have you noticed the days are already a bit longer?
The good news?  January is the coldest month, annually.
