Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
This is an interesting little image. I shot it late Thursday afternoon at about 6:30pm. Weather was gloomy, it rained a little, I had no really usable picture so far, and in my desparation I began to take images of this fence corner that juts out a [...]

866 - ‘Til A Spring Wind Blows Again
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
It was about time to post this entry. A month ago I got an email from a young man from New York City that read
Hi Andreas, somebody sent me a link to your photo blog awhile back and I just wanted to let you know that I [...]

What Every Home Needs
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
Along with the Royal Crown Cola vending machine from Monday’s post, this vintage gas pump is available too. That aged yellow finish would really be an eye catcher in somebody’s home, I’m sure. Now where should we put it, in the living room, or the guest bedroom? (Click on photo to [...]
The Ghosts Of Auschwitz
Submitted by Howard Grill Blog
My last few posts about ethereal photographs and spirit photography bring me to a much more serious topic. Photographer Cole Thompson, who I have written about before, has recently had his newest body of work entitled “The Ghosts Of Auschwitz” published in B&W magazine. The same portfolio is also going to [...]
Afterlife would look like this - Short Story
Submitted by Craig Photography Blog
I never thought the afterlife would look like this. Day three of sitting on this terracotta roof with this boy pointing a toy gun at my head. The shingles are pinching at my bum. Sally just peed herself, again. I am staring at three crufixes with four men standing in [...]
Barn With Yellow Roof
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
Although rust is slowly taking over, the unique yellow paint on the roof of this barn still makes this barn a landmark in Maggie Valley, NC. How many yellow-roofed barns have you seen? (Click on photo to enlarge.)

Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Let’s start off with kind of an announcement, and that is, whatever tomorrows image will be, it will have the title “‘Til A Spring Wind Blows Again” after the song from Clarence Bucaro’s new album. Tomorrow I’ll explain why
As regards today, well, this morning, while [...]

864 - The Warm Room
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Oh dear! Sunday night the train had arrived 45 minutes late, thus I missed the last Underground and had to take a taxi.
When I wrote yesterday’s entry, I already knew that Vienna had had a lot of snowfall over the weekend. What I didn’t know though, [...]
The Mother of Invention
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
I saw this contraption leaning against the side of a barn. I have no idea what it is or what it does, but it didn’t look like something purchased from the local John Deere dealer. Whatever it is, it appeared to be cobbled together from spare parts and scrap pieces of [...]

Sweet Dreams*
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
9:57 p.m., Friday. The Lads settle in after a full day of doing whatever it is dogs do during the day. Actually, they were probably doing the same thing (albeit, in another location) at 10:57 a.m. Comedian George Carlin once observed, “What does a dog do on his day off? He [...]
Sweet Dreams*
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
Regular visitors to My Viewfinder know I have a thing for old stuff, so naturally, this old vending machine caught my eye. This is the face of an old Royal Crown Soda machine, now being sold as an antique (as is) at an antique store in Maggie Valley, NC. How old [...]
Reminder
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
I made a print of this for my pastor’s 10th anniversary at our church. His new office in our new church has more wall space than his old office, and I thought he needed something to help fill the space.
21st century pastors face additional pressures that often force them to spend [...]
863 - Gotta Be This Or That
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Another lazy sunday. Today we had sun for at least half of the afternoon, and I spent the time in the most un-photographic way, I spent it sleeping on the balcony.
It was warm in Carinthia, whereas in Vienna more snow fell. Well, I’ll see, I’ll be [...]
862 - Dear Old Battlefield
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Carinthia had blazing sun all through the week - until yesterday. Well, you can’t have it all the time.
I made a short trip to the east shore of another one of Carinthia’s bigger lakes, Ossiacher See. This is a place where you can forget about where [...]
2009 Death Valley Workshop - Day 0
Submitted by Ralph Nordstrom Photography Blog
I arrived in Death Valley the day prior to the start of the workshop. There were a couple of locations I wanted to explore and you don’t get a chance to do that during the hectic pace of the workshop.
One location that was becoming more and more interesting the more [...]
Spirit Photography
Submitted by Howard Grill Blog
The zone plate imaging that I have been doing produces soft focus and ethereal looking photograpahs. Seeing the ‘ghostlike’ results that are obtained made me think about the phenomena of ’spirit photography’ that began in the 1860’s. At that time, there were people who purported to being able to take photographs [...]

Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Oh dear, six images shot today, two attempts at one subject (both came to nothing) and four in this place. Not much to choose from
Anyway. This is a place where I’ve tried my luck many times before. In fact, I like this place. It has [...]
