Blue Door

I have a collection of pictures of doors. They represent opportunity and of course there is the old dilemma of trying to decide between door number one and door number two.

I don’t think it is possible for a store to look more like a general store than this one does. It looks pretty general in the summer too.
Vacant and Blue
by Tboard on Jan.08, 2010, under Urban
You can probably tell that I took this one while it was snowing. It wasn’t intended for the photo blog it is an image I need for something I am writing. I used my 50mm lens again. I decided to leave it on my camera all week and bring my camera with me everywhere I go because I can. The house is unheated and has been vacant for at least 3 years now and it is on a block with several vacant houses, most of them were rental properties. There is a kind of mortgage fraud alley a few blocks from where I live a small pocket hit very hard by foreclosures. About the house . . all I want to say is they don’t build them like that any more and I hate to see it sitting empty.
Pincushion

As of yesterday I did manage 365 posts for this blog. I started it on January 5, 2009. The photo was taken in February of 2008, about 10 days after I had just purchased a DSLR camera and was learning to use it in manual mode. I set up the pincushion and the buttons on my dining room table for practice. I experimented using the camera in aperture priority mode and in shutter priority mode, and then in manual mode. I was just starting to get it. I don’t think I have taken a photo in anything but manual mode since. There doesn’t seem to be a point in having a camera like mine if it is only to be used just like I used my point and shoot.
I love photography and when I look at this photo I am reminded of how hard it was for me to figure out that dang camera and that the time and effort I put into it was worth it. I am always learning and there is always more to learn. It is work but not really because I enjoy it so much and even just holding the camera seems to relax me like nothing else can. Sometimes I even dream in still shots. In color of course. I am looking forward to my next 364 posts.
Looking up on a beautiful day
