Pictures on a new blog page

Tim May

Bloggers: I’ve upload pictures ONLY to my Flickr now. The “other” webblog proved to be somewhat burdensome and several of my daily readers advised me not to get too spread out…. ____________________________________________ As a persistence and creativity goal for 2009, I am starting a 365 project. 365 simply means at least one picture per day is to be chronicled. It can be a thoughtful (or lucky) snapshot, a composed picture, portrait, whatever the photo mode so dictates. Photos will be uploaded at least weekly – be sure to check out the pictures as we get through this year. A link is on … Continue reading Pictures on a new blog page

Show me a sign

Tim May

OK, so I’m out for lunch today and come across these signs.

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind
Do this, don’t do that
Can’t you read the sign?

Now I like signs…old weathered signs, fancy new signs, classy signs, goofy signs, sign misspellings, but espicially those done by someone on a tight marketing budget. Continue reading “Show me a sign”

Full of Balloony and Full of Hot Air

Tim May

About 9:30 last night I finally got caught up with the DMN weekend “Guide” and discovered the Plano Balloon Festival was underway. This morning I ventured to Plano to catch a sunrise launch of countless Hot Air Balloons. As STBFDIL Tammy said in a reply text message (I sent her and several others a cell phone picture around 8:30), I did my own solo photowalk today.

Balloons aside, I don’t remember the last time I saw so many cameras – of all sizes, shapes, and styles – in one place. There was just a whole lot of photo walking, sitting, standing, and gawking go on. I could have learned a whole bunch about cameras and photo-taking had the guys with the lens as long as my arm stood still long enough for me to converse with them.

We Photowalked Saturday

Tim May

OK gang, we missed all of you on Saturday. Remember? It was the National Photowalk Do-da Day.  Not everyone forgot. OFNi Emily brought her kiddos to City Hall Park on Saturday morning. We talked, we walked, we took pictures. Had a grand time (at least I did). Courtney, Drake(ster), and Madison were the primary subjects of our focus, F-stops, and posings, although Larry the Lizard took center stage at one point. We used Emily’s camera most, learning it can be used for more than just snap shots. I hope she sends me pictures so I can post them here. Let’s … Continue reading We Photowalked Saturday

Photowalking

Tim May

Recent blog surfing came across another go-to blog I have in the ol’ Feeds Favs – The Things I Do. I’ve picked up a few tricks from Dennis – guess I should thank him sometime soon. One of his recent posting talks about A Photowalk. Sounds like a good time and a grand idea…I checked his link and the 50 Dallas spots are booked. Hmmmm, 3 million people in Dallas-Fort Worth and all they have are 50 spots. I guess we could organize our own! Let’s see a show of camera flashes – who’s with me? Anybody? August 23rd is the … Continue reading Photowalking
