Mortar Man

This little man was created by someone and put way up in the cornice of an old Victorian building at 110 Capitol Street when it was being restored several years ago. I photographed it years ago but I have no idea what happened to that picture. I was working in this building today so I shot another one. "Anathema Device" photographed it recently also I see.

Frost on the Holly

OK... one more frost photo. You guys have asked some great questions about these, but I'm just slammed with work right now and it's all I can do to get online and post another shot. More info later.

More Frost

Here's another shot of frost on my car from the other day. The structure of the ice crystals is fascinating.

Hoarfrost is...

... a word we don't use much around here. But Tom used it in a comment a few days ago. That's what this is... hoarfrost on the window of my car as seen from the inside. I think it looks like an aerial photo with a lake.

Sunrise over the Kanawha - Part 2

Here's another sunrise shot I did on the way to work. I took this the same day that I posted the "mystery photo" of frost. This is near the same time of day and place as this shot.

Yikes... cookies

Dang, this is sad. Three empty cookie packages in the parking lot of the grocery store.

Mystery #77

I haven't done a mystery photo in ages. Do you know what this is? Post your guesses in the comments.

It's Here!

Woo hoo! If you don't know what this is, there's probably no point in explaining it.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from us to you. I wish I had some exciting fireworks or party shots for you. But of course I stayed in like the boring old guy I am. I guess I have to take down the tree tomorrow morning.

New Element Discovered

No, not radioactive 118... my new ride... just like the old ride, only better.

Betapace List

On the ground next to the gas pump. Did he remember those nose pills? I wonder.

The Sadorra Boys

I ran into noted Charleston restaurateur Virgil Sadorra on the street this morning. That's him on the bottom.

Photography by Adam

Check out the poster that my nephew Adam did for a high school class project. I did photography in high school myself but it all looked pretty silly compared to this. Click image to see the poster larger.

Poster Parody

The last few years I've had fun helping Steve & Jenny (the morning radio personalities) from V100 create some sort of parody for their Christmas card. This year's card was a lot of fun. We thought of the idea at the last possible moment. Click on the image to see the poster larger. See an image of the original movie poster here.
