Rusty Lock

A macro shot of a rusty lock from the dilapidated steam shovel out in the direction of Beekmantown, NY.

Bookstore

A scene I happened upon while taking a break from walking around Church Street in Burlington, Vermont.

Flower

A flower that was overhanging the sidewalk in Burlington, Vermont.

Port Kent

Taken at the Port Kent ferry dock looking out at Lake Champlain. A macro shot focused a bit out to draw the eye to the mid-range of texture.

Ferris Wheel

Strange Findings at the Fair

A sad looking fisherman I found on a bench in the middle of a rain shower. Macro with a cooling filter.

Monument

A little bit of an abstract view of the monument here in Plattsburgh. I tried to get some of the clothesline in the strip of black that was the building next to me.

Wine Night

A light use of a warming filter plus the shadow/highlight tool to bring out some of the texture of the material and the image of the bottle printed on it. I like using solid black sky for contrast.

Tracks

There isn't much story to this image except I was lost and came across a train crossing. Coincidently I got lost taking a long drive a couple weeks later and came across the same crossing from the other direction.

Nothing but blue sky..

A shot taken here in Plattsburgh at the boat basin. It was one of several test images, but most of the others were too busy with the masts of the sailboats. Bringing the boats into the shot only complicated the image, docks, people, etc.. So I decided to shoot at a different angle from a bit closer. The metal structure ended up being a bit dark so I raised the contrast to bring out the lettering.
