TJ’s Daily Blog # 71- Finally Blue

The Daily Blog # 71 Finally Blue The cold, grey weather in Ohio can be good for making us appreciate the nice weather when it finally arrives. For that I am grateful.

TJ’s Daily Blog # 69- Cityscapes with Tamron

The Daily blog #60 To Be Seen I had just shot the last frame of film in my 35mm film camera when I saw that fur coat. At that same moment, he saw me holding a camera and immediately asked me to take his picture. I turned on my digital camera and shot five quick frames.

The Daily Photo #49- Getting Close with the Fujifilm X70

The Daily Photo #49- February 18th, 2016 Getting Close I believe there is much to be learned about one’s own personal photography when shooting in the street.

The Daily Photo #47- February 16th, 2016 Finding Light   I am always on the lookout for interesting light. While at Due Amici restaurant, which is housed in a historic builing downtown, we noticed this scene in the old basement.
