Dark Storm

It got so dark during the thunderstorm yesterday afternoon that the street lights came on.

Walking to the Gym

Grey skies... nothing but grey skies, do I see...

...unless you fool with the color temperature.

Capitol Street in the Snow, January

UPDATE 3: OK, many people said they liked the bicycle shot because of the cool color-balance. I can understand that, so here's another version of the latest shot with the color-balance shifted.

UPDATE 2: Here's yet another stab at an HDR Capitol Street in the snow. It's snowing like crazy so I'm taking advantage of it. I SHOULD be going home before it gets too bad to drive, but no, I'm at the office doing this. I'm an idiot. BTW, this version is bigger than usual so click on it to see the large size.



Update: I went out tonight to redo this shot with a good DSLR (Nikon D300s) and do an HDR version. Last night's photo was taken with my tiny little pocket camera, the Fuji F100. Well, it's a mixed bag... the photo has more detail and all but the bike wasn't there and the snow had mostly been cleared away. Ehh.

New Park Progress

There's quite a bit of progress to be seen on the new park across from the Clay Center. Looks like there's going to be terracing.

Veterans Day, 09

Charleston, WV... Veterans Day. My friend Dyann Simile called me to tell me to come out of my dungeon and see the parade happening outside my door! That's her son playing the cymbals.

Big erection....

... happening at the Clay Center. Man, that's a huge sculpture. I don't know anything about it. I don't know who the artist is or anything else other than I was driving by today and saw the cranes working.

Funeral Parade - 2009

The Sternwheel Regatta is gone, but the Funeral Parade lives on.









The majorette in green looks pretty good from the back!

From the front, not so much!
