Police Barrier Abstracts

Abstract, Construction Equipment, Micro Four-Thirds /

I was at the Olympic trials marathon race and at most intersections, the Orlando Police had put these big safety barriers to prevent any rogue from driving onto the course and causing injuries. The barriers had big steel teeth holding them in place and yellow hooks on the cables. I did a bunch of photos, at which time the closest cop walked over and asked me “What are you doing?”. I had a nice conversation with her and there was no incident, but they’re just doing their job and anything that keeps the runners safe is OK in my book […]

Graveyard Portraits – Pinhole and Digital

Film, Micro Four-Thirds, Pinhole /

Near Covington Ga, my family has owned a large plat of land for about 50 years. On that land is a 19th/20th century cemetery founded by the Cook family. There are about 30-40 graves there from the mid 1800’s to the early 1900’s. There are only a few well preserved and many of the larger stones have been either knocked down intentionally or fallen down of their own accord. There are mature trees on the site. There is a 5×5 stone pillered fence with very old, flat twisted barbed wire around it through holes drilled in the fence posts. I

Construction Art

Abstract, Construction Equipment, Micro Four-Thirds /

I have become attracted to something I don’t think many people pay attention to, construction equipment. My family was in the contracting, land development, and building materials industry for all of my childhood. So I was around lots of big equipment, Dozers, Excacators, Frone-End tracked loaders, Lifts, Tractors, Back-Hoes, etc. I have taken to stopping whenever I have time at random construction pieces, almost always between jobs or parked on a weekend. The yellow, orange, or other bright colors are really irresistible to me. Where else can you find such bright colors, strong lines, graphs, geometric shapes, or bold lettering?

Electric White

Abstract, Micro Four-Thirds, Minimalism /

You’re walking around suddenly something catches your eye. For me, it is often electrical boxes. I know that sounds mundane, but I find the asymmetry appealing as subjects. This one in Covington, GA struck me with its off-white color, but there was that little touch of blue on the tags that was nice. I think that they painted everything to match, including the connection box and the wires, which added to the scene. I had to give it a little extra exposure, maybe 1 stop to make it right, as the in-camera meter would have made everything gray.

Black and Rust

Abstract, Micro Four-Thirds /

These two images represent different views of the same window in the Back-Bay section of Boston. Obviously it was painted black, but there was nice orange rust poking through. I should probably go back in my archives and see if there is another photo to provide a third All taken with the Olympus E-M1 Mk II and the 12-40/2.8

Remnants of Fall

Abstract, Micro Four-Thirds /

Walking around the city of Boston in early December, fall is gone. Winter hasn’t arrived. Not mud season, not snow season. But on Commonwealth Avenue near the Boston Public Garden, the final fall leaves have just fallen. The trees give up their last vestiges of summer and go dormant, awaiting the warmth and longer days of Spring. On the floor of Comm Ave, people have walked all over the leaves. The rain has beat them down and flattened out the shapes. The frost had bleached out the colors. There is little left, but I thought that the patterns were nice.

SAEES

Abstract, Micro Four-Thirds /

So I take photos and never know if I’ll like them or not. This shot of the back of an old bus or truck I took at my NJ Auto Graveyard photo shoot in November 2022. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the wider photo which would tell me what the whole text is, but the top line is something mysterious, but the bottom says SAEES, as far as I can tell. I guess it’s some abbreviation, but I may never know. Probably came from somewhere in Southern NJ. I love the colors, making this a lovely pseudo-abstract. Lots of layers

Reflection Photos

Micro Four-Thirds /

I was in Boston for my daughter’s wedding in early December and it rained copious amounts for one day and left nice puddles in the street. These are photos captured with the camera pretty much on the ground I used the Laowa 7.5mm ultra wide angle on my Olympus E-M1.2, as that’s definitely the best for these sorts of photos. I find that it takes getting very, very low to get anything usable. And all that sky in the background can be very tough to manage, especially when it is white. This is a series in the making, but first

ICO Red Steps

ICM, Micro Four-Thirds /

Red Steps slow exposure. I paused, which probably made the yellow leaves show through. This was the best of about 10 photos. I like those taken with the Olympus EM-1 mk2 better than what you usually get from the iPhone apps, where it often takes a bunch of photos vs holding the shutter open>

Master Lock

Abstract, Micro Four-Thirds /

Yes, it’s a Master Lock. Saw it hanging on a closed-for-Saturday business in Philly and the sun was hitting the lock and the background was in shadow. Not a spectactular image, but I thought it was pretty good. I didn’t feel like setting up for focus stacking, so it’s got a pretty narrow DOF. Olympus E-M1 mk 2 12-40/2.8

Holiday Bulb

Abstract, Micro Four-Thirds /

Another photo from my random walk around a restaurant in Rittenhouse. I think it was the Green Egg Cafe? It was the daytime and they had all these decorative bulbs hanging out over their outside patio. It was too cold for outside eating and the tables were stacked on top of each other in “storage”, but the strings of these lights remained. They were overhead at around 7’, so I had to stretch to get a bunch of shots. Some like this one were in a sunbeam and there was a dark background. I took probably 10-15 photos trying to
