There are images of and images about, and this is a completely subjective thing. For you, my image about may simply be an image of. You may still like it, because you like that which it is of, but you won’t associate much meaning with it.

“This picture doesn’t show it like it really was.”Posted in January 23rd, 2009
Submitted by Ralph Nordstrom Photography Blog
How often do you hear that? People are on vacation, a family outing, a business trip even. And they see something that really moves them. So they whip out their camera, holed it up in front of their face, cock their head back a little, squint their eyes and ‘click.’ They [...]
A Little Fun
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
Since it’s the last day of “Obama Mania Week”, let’s have a little fun before the Kool-Aid wears off. We’ve all seen the iconic Obama “Hope” poster by now.
Now there’s a website where you can make your own poster with your own photo and slogan.

Black And White
Submitted by Howard Grill Blog
I have always admired black and white photography. The ability to convey feeling through only shades of gray is truly amazing. It has been some time since I did any black and white imaging, though I originally started that way with my home darkroom when I was in 9th grade.
One of [...]
831 - Just One Of Those Things
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Not much inspiration in the morning, nasty rain in the evening. I found a pattern in some of my images made yesterday (it’s morning now, I should be off to work), it may be worth pursuing it further, but so far nothing usable came from it. In [...]

The other one is one more [...]

Snowy Cardinal
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
We got a little snow Monday evening, and Tuesday morning everything was white and beautiful. And what is prettier in a tree with snow covered branches than a cardinal? That red plumage was just made to be seen against a snowy background.
This photo was made from inside my living room through [...]

The Peaceful Transfer of Power
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
Today, our country will inaugurate a new president. Both the outgoing president and the opposition candidate will be at the ceremony, not as vanquished opponents, but as fellow Americans. They will shake the new president’s hand and wish him well. Because that’s the way we do things in America. We transfer [...]

Moving to a new place brings with it many emotional challenges and as many unexpected opportunities. Unexpected Opportunities, that’s what happened today. Let me explain:
This morning I should have better been up on the mountain for the sunrise, but instead I slept until 10:00 am. Waking up, [...]

Here’s another one tonight, this time the images of today. I didn’t manage to post it on the train, but now I’m in Carinthia, having already slept a few hours, and posting in the middle of the night seems like a good idea

It’s Friday morning now, I’m still behind, these are Wednesday’s pictures, I may catch up during today’s five hours on the train though.
On Wednesday I rose at 4:30am, hoping to see the HTTPS problem fixed, that prevented me from posting. No luck though, so I simply [...]
Hot Dog King
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
I love hot dogs. I love burgers too, but sometimes my cravings won’t be satisfied by anything but the a good ol’ American hot dog. If I happen to be in Candler, NC, I’ll satisfy my craving at the Hot Dog King. Unfortunately, I made this photograph on a Sunday afternoon [...]
823 - We Better Talk This Over
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Well, Tuesday was one of those days with many images made, peeking in different directions, trying this and that.
For lack of time I’ve processed only two of them. The first, a graffiti on the wall above a post box, saying “Blood”, caused me to go slightly [...]
