Side Light In The Morning

I took another photography class from Eric Mueller yesterday about understanding light.  One of the reminders was that I need to take more pictures.  This morning, I decided to take some with the beautiful morning light and to explore some textures.  

This photo is the only one which was not edited and for that reason I almost like it best.  I am going to take Eric's  editing class, but I have a voice inside, which I've named "the Puritan" which says things like "editing is cheating".  At the same time, I'm also interested in what it can offer, since I am not a journalist.

The rest of these have been edited, but not heavily.  I have always enjoyed the textures on the radiators.  I can't say that I got the shot that I wanted, but I also wanted to remember my first attempt.

Art Shanty Project 2022

Today was my first time to go to the Art Shanty Project.  M and I ventured out today.  It was cold, but not as cold as it's been the last few days.  

In the Tick-Tock Shanty, this guy leaned to down, so that his face was framed nicely for my pic.  I gave him a big thumbs up when I was done.  This is probably my favorite pic because of that.  

I didn't take a lot of pictures and it was hard to see what I had taken until I got home. 

Trip Cut Short

Here are several pictures from spending several days in Evanston in November.

The trip got cut short.  On the way back, we stopped at Dr. Evermore's Sculpture Park. 

Trip To Hawk Ridge

 In October, P and I went up for a 1-day trip to Hawk Ridge.

 These are from a trip to Door County for a family-related event. 

The Curiosity of Youth

Or maybe it's foolhardiness.  These two got closer to a couple of humans than is wise.  Fortunately, the humans were only armed with cameras.

Here's an abstract footprint, from the same place, just because.
