Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
I’m still on that toxic project. Turned up at work at 8am, left at 7:45pm, achieved … nothing. Well, at least nothing but a deeper understanding about how bad it is. That’s a day, huh?
On the other hand, it already began bad. Rain in the morning, but [...]
898 - Wet Questions
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
I’m back on the train from Carinthia to Vienna now. It pours like mad outside, even worse than it did the rest of the day
These two images were shot early in the afternoon. I figured that the raindrops on the movable blinds of the [...]
All That’s Left
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
A couple of years ago, a Super Wal-Mart and assorted other stores were built on the site of the Sayles Bleachery plant in Asheville. The bleachery was a huge complex of buildings that served, as the name implies, to bleach fabric for regional textile mills. The bleachery had been closed and [...]
Dreams and Imagination
Submitted by Craig Photography Blog
Sunday afternoon driving back to Pittsburgh from Philly on the turnpike – this is my view from behind the wheel of my car…
Bright blue sky, white clouds lined with a pink hue and golden sunbeams breaking through the clouds. All of it lining the horizon as far as the eye [...]
Waiting
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
A railroad crossing near the Norfolk Southern rail yard in Asheville. Back and forth. Back and forth. It’s days like this that I’m glad that I’m paid by the hour. (Click on photo to enlarge.)

Crocus Pair
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
One of the first flowers to bloom in the Smoky Mountains each year, these crocuses peek through last year’s pine needles to give us encouragement that spring is on the way. (Click on photo to enlarge.)

Hey Nineteen
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
Yesterday was my oldest daughter’s 19th birthday. Heather doesn’t like to cooperate when Dad wants to photograph her, so I had to resort to subterfuge when she was home for spring break a couple of weeks ago. I shot this one over my shoulder as we were driving home from church. [...]
897 - My Country
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Today was mostly a shopping and doing-things-that-need-to-be-bone day, but I found some time for photographing. This image was taken east of Klagenfurt. It was the only part of Carinthia where it did not rain.
Villach is just in the direction where we look, approximately below the darkest cloud [...]
896 - Really Mystified
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
These three images are from Friday morning. “Gedankensplitter” means “aphorism” and this is an image that I am not really sure what to make of. Actually it’s a composite of two images. The person was in another image of the series, and the best version of the [...]
Racetrack Playa, Death Valley
Submitted by Ralph Nordstrom Photography Blog
I was fortunate to visit the Racetrack Playa in Death Valley November of last year. This is where rocks mysteriously slide around, leaving tracks in their wake. Many slide for hundreds of feet and more. Some move with seeming purpose in pretty much a straight line while others meander about, [...]

Taking The 7900 Leap
Submitted by Howard Grill Blog
Over the last year or two, I have watched as various new papers have come out for black and white inkjet printing. I have really wanted to venture into black and white, but just never really liked the appearance on matte paper, though I do love the appearance of color prints [...]

895 - Calling Elvis
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Time is short at the moment. At least I managed to get one image in the morning.
Snow had gone, for a change we were back to rain, thus you get one more umbrella image. This time it’s even a double umbrella image
The Song of the [...]
894 - The Law
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Sometimes I feel very small against the powers that be, against the people who make our laws and take our freedom. It’s so tedious to hear them lie and lie and lie. Always the same and always over again. They want something and they want it badly.
They [...]
Face in the Wall
Submitted by Photoplus Tutorials Blog
Do you know what a Displacemment Map is? It uses the contours of an image for example the rough surface of a brick wall on an image placed above it. This gives a realistic effect to the image on top as it fits into the contours of the image below. To [...]
I used to know what this is.
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
This is getting frustrating. I used to know what this plant is, but now I can’t remember it, and I can’t find it in my flower identification books. It grows close to the ground, about 6″ tall. It’s easy to walk right by it if you’re not really looking. Oh well, [...]

Another “What is it?”
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
These tiny flowers remind me of little lanterns. Again, I don’t know what they are, but their shape fascinates me. (Click on photo to enlarge.)

Some of yesterday’s comments suggested that yesterday’s photo was of a rose. OK, I may not be the nation’s foremost expert on plant identification, but I think [...]

893 - Pink Thing
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
In case nobody noticed, since Saturday it’s officially spring now. Quite unfittingly it grew cold as well, but we live by calendars, and just as every year at that time, the city is decorated with flowers.
I caught these yesterday on my way from work. Sundown is [...]
It’s a, uh I’m not sure . . .
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
I should be better at identifying the flowers and plants I photograph, but I’m not. This flower was growing on a large bush/small tree at Haywood Community College. I don’t know what it’s called, but I thought the creamy white color was pretty, so here it is. (Click on photo to [...]
Having Purpose
Submitted by Craig Photography Blog
This is a photograph of my father and my grandfather. I did not know my grandfather; he passed away before I got to know him.
The photo is 65yrs old and has purpose, real sense of purpose to it. The connection I have to this photo is hard to place into [...]
