Looking Out and Looking In

I enjoy looking both out from and into places through their windows. The patterns and colors are particularly interesting and subtle.

Wet Windows

Wet Glass Makes for interesting images because the water creates a different look and sense to the image.

Mill Windows

Mill windows are interesting for their patterns and when textured express the colors and shapes of the outside while blurring the details. The color bands seen against the sharp outlines of the panes makes for an interesting contrast.

These images were made in Greenville Center for Creative Arts in Greenville, SC (https://www.artcentergreenville.org). The Center houses artists’ studios, gallery space and an Art School. Go visit.

An Old Home Place

A few days ago Alice and I found an old house but I forgot to put a memory card in my camera but the light was lousy, so nothing lost. The second time I was more careful and here are some of the images. The old home and surrounding property is magical.

There were more things to see but they are for next time.

Random Pix, NM

These are a few images I made inNM which are not specifically NM, just fun for me to look at.

Through Rainy Glass

Rain on windows and windshields makes a filtered effect as the it splatters and drips down the glass forming a wonderful scrim.

Downtown Liberty, SC

Dining in small towns can be an adventure and we went into Yank’s Place with some trepidation but the food was simple, well-prepared and tasty, another great surprise while driving around. We will try the bakery soon.

Union, SC

I find it difficult to leave downtown Union with courthouse, monument and store windows.

Doors, Mirror and Windows

Walking Around Union

Besides its great courthouse Union has some wonderful things happening like the old Coke ad window attractions.

Liquid Images

These images are water-related with reflections, a rain-swept windshield and a foggy set of windows.

More Windows

Window Views

These were taken during a Horizon Photography Workshop in Chesapeake City, MD.

Out and About

The first two images are from inside old stores and the third is looking out through a window.

Why These?

Every day I peruse my photographs to find ones that interest me  enough to work on them. These change from day to day. This group has something slightly strange and maybe unsettling about them. The first has bright colors nd a perspective that leads the eye to the person cleaning the windows. The rest have odd placements of objects.

More Florence Hotel

The Florence Hotel has so many little treasures from the sitting room to the actual hotel rooms. I wish more hotels were like that.

Westminster, SC Old Buildings

Here are a few of the old business buildings in Westminster. Many small towns have at least a few rows of old buildings with great character and  scattered ghosts.

Glass

Glass can create shapes, patterns and of course, reflections.

Looking Back

One of the joys of photography, film or digital is that one can relook at an older image with fresh eyes and better wet or digital darkroom skills.
