Gallery Window Norcross Gallery & Studios is housed in a plain old building. What is significant, to me at least, is the photography exhibit inside. I am proud that three of my photos were accepted and one of them is right inside the front door (the juggler). You may already have seen my post Norcross…… Continue reading Monday Window – 241209

Glowing Computers Way back in 2011 I assembled a computer from parts purchased at a local store. It worked well for many years, but now no longer does. Here is a photo of the parts: Computer to be The case, as you can see, was plain with no adornments, the side panels were just black-painted…… Continue reading Monday Window – 241118

Recipe You can pretty well make out the recipe for a squash casserole from what is shown in the photo. Can you tell what is missing? This is part of my low-salt cuisine. Details to follow hereabouts in the next few days. A nod to bushboy for this challenge. His last photo for October 2024…… Continue reading Last on Card – October 2024

Flowers by a Window It all started when the patient next door completed the stay at the rehab center and donated a bouquet of flowers to us. Then other flowers seemed like interesting photo subjects. Last week I already showed an artistic rendering of one of these photos. Here it is again. Flowers by a…… Continue reading Monday Window – 241021

Last of Chamblee Drive-by Finally we come to the end of my Chamblee drive-by photography set. At the top of the city, along Peachtree Boulevard, there are what seems like dozens of car dealerships. Just about any brand is represented. I photographed just two of them. In drive-by photography one of the hazards is street…… Continue reading Monday Window – 241007

Still driving through Chamblee We are not finished yet with our drive-by photography tour of Chamblee, but we are on our way back. Here we are on Peachtree Boulevard, no longer on Peachtree Road. Don’t let that confuse you. In the Atlanta area there are dozens, if not hundreds, or streets bearing the peachtree name.…… Continue reading Monday Window – 240923

Continuing through Chamblee A bit more of that new construction and on to another building. Chamblee Chamblee Chamblee Here a little look “behind the curtain”. “Drive-by photography” presents a lot of challenges. It is hard to see just what is coming up. Signs along the streets are often unavoidable. When photographing buildings, as I was…… Continue reading Monday Window – 240916

More from our trip through Chamblee Continuing on with our trip through a neighbor town, here are two more photos of mew apartment buildings under construction. Here we see some fancier balconies and a more colorful facade.
Light and Shadow
Light and shadows are fundamental building blocks of photography. Light is the essence of photography, without it, there would be no image. The quality, direction, and intensity of light can drastically alter the appearance of a photograph. Shadows are powerful storytellers. Shadows can reveal shapes, hide the irrelevant, create abstract patterns, bring out textures, even…… Continue reading Light and Shadow

Driving through Chamblee Our neighboring town Chamblee is having quite a revival with much new construction. We drove through and I practiced a bit of “drive-by photography” from the back seat. For this week here are two photos. Still have to process most of the rest. In the photo above you can see a new…… Continue reading Monday Window – 240902

Windows, Balconies, Dormers and more Riding home from an appointment my attention was drawn to the business building with its dormers, balconies and windows. Even a little turret with windows. Note the Juliet balcony on the right. There was another attraction. See that tall “tree” in the left background. You can recognize it readily as…… Continue reading Monday Window – 240826
Sunrise
“Sunrise in the Rockies” For this week, the topic presented by The Cosmic Photo Challenge is “Morning Light”. Well, that is not easy for me to do. Getting up early is a challenge and getting somewhere scenic even more so. I allowed myself to do some dreaming and thought back to some early mornings in…… Continue reading Sunrise

The Destination We took a break from our bus tour of long ago and I never shared the destination. Today I will end the suspense.

Big pine outside the window Some four decades ago it was a nice tree just next to the newly built house. Then it just kept growing until it became a hazard, dropping dead branches on the house. It had to be removed. Some of you may have already seen the image below. When my eyes…… Continue reading Monday Window – 240812

Windows with Juliet Balconies We have been on that bus tour for weeks, so I figure it is time to take a little break. Here are some windows with Juliet balconies.

As we continue our bus tour from back in 2013, we come by the historic Artmore Hotel. The bus was rolling at a good clip and I got just three shots. We were too close to get the whole front in. Normally that is not a problem, there is always Microsoft Image Composite Editor that…… Continue reading Monday Window – 240729
