My 14YO dog enjoying some late afternoon sunshine #pet #dog #animal #sunshine

I just cancelled my WaPo subscription. I didn't expect it to be so emotional. I've been a subscriber for 25+ years. Having the paper around has been part of life since I was a kid. Canceling feels like separating myself from society or something even though I know it is for a good cause.

This is well worth a look: flowingdata.com/projects/dis...

I am a member of a local photography club, where I am participating in a portfolio-building project. The task is to create a thematically-cohesive collection of a dozen photos and write an artist statement. (1/3)

Watching the snow start. #photography #B&W #monochrome #dog #pet

Continuing to get out of my comfort zone by trying out some night-time street photography.

A local #photographer friend is releasing a photo book in which he shares some of the scenes of the pandemic era in NYC, DC, and Alexandria, VA. glenncook.substack.com/p/first-look...

I photographed a swim meet last night for the first time in years. While processing, I think the physicist in me got so distracted by the cool surface tension stuff that I started seeing the water as the subject rather than the swimmer. #photography #sportsphotography #physics

my favorite #sports #photograph of 2024. This was a JV field hockey goalie walking past me while returning to the goal after a break in the game. I missed this shot in my initial culling, but fortunately saw its potential a few weeks later. #monochrome #B&W #photography #sportsphotography

I am trying to teach myself studio lighting so I thought I'd see if I could get some shots of my dog catching a treat. I discovered that we both have room for improvement. And no, that last one isn't a continuation of the 2nd. She just didn't see the small training treat. #photography #dog

I joined a local #photography club. One of the projects is to make a coherent portfolio with some of the more seasoned members providing guidance and critiques. I decided to do mine on #B&W #architecture, despite that being a small port of what I shoot. Here are a few of my images. #monochrome

For many years, winter has meant wrestling, thanks to my son. It was the reason I got into #SportsPhotography and still one of my favorite sports to shoot. #photography #sports

I don't do much street #photography because I'm not comfortable confronting people with my camera, but tried some shots recently on the empty streets of Lexington, VA. #monochrome

First post. I am a hobbyist photographer. I shoot a lot of HS sports, but am not picky about what I point my camera at. I particularly enjoy B&W photography.
