Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Yesterday it rained most of the time. I used a short pause in the afternoon to make some forest images.
I’d have more but, you know, it’s forest
I used a very expensive B&W polarizer, and as always it turned out to be a lot of [...]
Photography and ArtPosted in April 29th, 2009
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
When I do shows I frequently get people looking at my works and then asking if I’m the photographer. My answer is, “Yes, I am.” But this past weekend I got asked a different question - “Are you the artist?” I think that’s the only time I’ve been asked that in [...]
Choose Your Colors
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
When my wife and I want to paint a room in our house, it’s always a long process of choosing the colors. Endless comparisons of paint sample chips sometimes make me yearn for simpler times before Lowe’s had 143 shades of green to choose from. Simpler times, like when this cabin [...]

If you have been following this series of posts, you know the problems that I have been having with my Epson 7900. This post serves as a finale (well, pretty much) to these issues and how they have been resolved.
First of all, the issue regarding what I described as ‘black scuffing’, [...]

928 - Pictures Of Home
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
The bad weather goes on and on. I was lucky. Yesterday when I had to go to Klagenfurt, my hometown, and when I had to wait on the streets for more than an hour, it did just not rain. As soon as I was back in the [...]

Beyond Graffiti
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
With increasing frequency, the “artwork” we see popping up around Asheville is graffiti. While some graffiti demonstrates considerable artistic talent, it is still vandalism. We may be impressed with the bold colors and imaginative designs, but nobody wants graffiti on the side of their house or business.
Not all art painted on [...]

926 - Sunday Mornings
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Oh those lazy Sunday mornings! I’ve slept the night on the balcony and woke up on 6:30am, just in time to take a series of images of a beautiful sunrise through the window of my study, a view that you have seen so often now, a view [...]
925 - The Water Song
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
As I said in the last post, I am in Carinthia for a week. No traveling, no “real” vacations, just relaxing. It’s Sunday evening by now. It did take me some time to digest yesterday’s short trip to Slovenia.
But before we get to Slovenia’s beautiful landscape, [...]

Sweet Dreams
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
I found these back-lit jars of honey at the Mast General Store. Honey is available in several varieties depending on what kind of flowers the bees have been visiting. I’m sure each has its fans; sourwood honey is a big deal where I live. I just wonder how the bee keepers [...]
Anonymous Society - Short Story
Submitted by Craig Photography Blog
September 10, 2001, one day before the world would change forever. I am sitting in a pub in Pittsburgh International Airport drinking a beer, watching a lounge act and waiting to board my flight to Boston which has been delayed for two hours.
The music is odd, comical, and upbeat; one [...]
A Better Version
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Sorry, I had to replace yesterday’s image with a new, better version. My laptop can’t display deep blacks well enough, and stupid me did not look at the histogram.
I have added one more layer, that makes much of a difference. Please go back to 924 - The [...]
Tough Guy
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
I caught this little guy attacking his reflection in a car window. He was either defending his turf, or trying to impress a female. I hope he was defending a nesting area, because I doubt picking a fight with your reflection is a good way to wow the ladies. When I [...]
Epson 7900 Experience - Repair Scheduled
Submitted by Howard Grill Blog
I hadn’t really planned to write so many blog posts about my Epson 7900…..but then again, I also hadn’t planned on having problems printing on third party media with it either. I do hope that anyone else who might be having this problem will be helped by reading about what is [...]
924 - The Art Of Not Seein’ Red
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
No censorship today. Promised
Instead I want to talk about a thing that I just did in Photoshop and that may be of interest to you. I probably should make a proper tutorial with screenshots and step-by-step images of it, but I am too tired. My [...]
923 - The Future
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Since yesterday I’ve had a cursory look on the proposed text to that German censorship law, and as far as I could see, there is no obvious cancellation of the presumption of innocence. It was quoted as having been said by Attorney General Brigitte Zypries on the [...]
The Back Porch

Back porch at the Mast General Store in Valle Crucis, NC. A nice place to sit and relax with a cold drink on a warm spring day. (Click on photo to enlarge.)
