Reflections in Stripes

At the Rumson country club, where we recently attended a wedding. It had just rained pretty hard and as you walked up the stairs to go into the wedding venue, the floor was made of a decking material. The decking had cupped, as they usually do, and the water was pooling in the cupped deck planks. This guy, probably one of the band members, walked outside to grab a smoke and I snapped this with my iPhone. Of course, it was upside down, so I flipped it both Horizontally and Vertically so he would be looking left-to-right and right side […]

Urban Minimalism

Minimalistic images. Most minimalistic images that I see in the magazines or websites are more often than not of nature scenes, long docks out on the water, lone trees, a single subject on a long exposure of water or similar shots. Those don’t present themselves to me much because I don’t go to such places with the limited time that a working life affords me. So I wonder around urban scenes, the backs of storefronts, etc. If I look long enough, lots of scenes present themselves like the two below. The left on was on the back of a store

Yellow Window & Detritis

Boston MA. Just a random scene in the main tourist area near the Omni Parker House hotel in downtown Boston. I loved the Yellow echos of the window, the pole, and whatever that is on the left. Also love the blue and green items, otherwise it would have been too monochromatic. I had mixed results from feedback on this image from Instagram, but I think people just get tired of seeing these sorts of urban disorganization photos. iPhone 14Pro

Diagonal & Square

I’ve started to find more and more of these scenes where there is a rectangular aspect and a diagonal aspect to scene. Yes, most of them are man-made, but I still like them. The dichotomy of the two angles creates tension, in my opinion. It’s somewhat ordinary, but I’ll be hunting for mor of these in the future. This image was taken of the back of a building in Morris Plains, NJ, which is a sleepy suburban NJ town about 30 miles west of New York City. Of course, I used my favorite Olympus E-M1 mk 2 with the ultra-versatile

Chartreuse Wall & Window

Is this a Photoshopped wall? No. Absolution not. Just another super colorful wall in Cranford, NJ. I wonder why someone would paint the back wall of a business this color? The front DOES NOT have this color; only the back does. And it’s at the end of a dead-end alley. It’s not like someone would see the wall. It’s very odd Hot, Hot July, 2023

Abstract – What is it?

I shot this photo in Boston with my iPhone and it really struck me as very cool. I posted the photo and a local group and asked people what it was. Nobody really knew, as it’s completely out of context. See if you can figure out what it is before I put the answer and a contextual shot below This is the place where the shot was taken……….I didn’t include the actual object. Can you guess now? The Photo is of a metal, concrete-filled guard post like the one on the left of the photo. The post that was the

Infrared Bridge

This is the companion to the previous pink image of the fisherman. I said there was a nice bridge, and here it is, but in a more “normal” yellow foliage, yet still infrared. I also masked out the bridge and ground and desaturated it so it looks more natural.

Fishing in Infrared

The Rahway River flows through Cranford NJ and there are a bunch of places in that and surrounding towns to walk by and over the river. Unfortunately, this also means that the houses along the river are prone to flooding, sometimes severe. But for the rest of us, it’s a nice little, meandering park that offers lots of opportunities for photos and contemplation. I found a bridge over the river on the south side of Cranford one day (there will be another photo of that bridge( and walked out to see a gentleman fly fishing in the river. I thought,

Red Train Photos

I found an announcement in August that there was going to be a SteamPunk get-together one Sunday over at the Whippany NJ Train Museum. So I thought, I have some time, let’s go. It was blazing hot, but I thought to get over there by 11, spend an hour or so to get some nice photos and exit. I went. There was no get together, just about a dozen random tourists at the museum So I decided to may my $5.00 and see what was there. It was mildly interesting, but I’m really no train buff (never understood the fascination

Does anyone read this?

I’ve been posting to this blog for about a year. Does anyone actually read or see these photos? Or am I just doing this as a waste of time. Please leave a comment or send me an email if you actually read this. skipwilliams pobox.com with an @ between those words. Nice, minimalistic photo from Williamsburg Brooklyn. I loved the subtle orange color and the textures.
