Grab the mop ‘n bucket

I decided to reprocess an oldie but goodie from 2010 and change things up with a grungy UrbEx scene. I nabbed this shot on my first visit to this mill with my friend back east, Bob Lussier. I do miss my outings with him very much. The important lesson about this point is that it’s ... Read More »

I had my 17mm Tilt Shift lens on and it was really important that the front element was perfectly ... Read More »

Ways and Means

The Story What can I say? I can’t get enough of my own personal 2010 classic rewind. I’ve been spending a lot of time digging through the older folders not so much to scavenge, but more to see where I’ve come as a photographer. Make no mistake – there are plenty of my images that ... Read More »

Well far be it from me to deny you. :) After last night’s post from the main auditorium of Belchertown State School, I heard the call of my grunge muse and went on a processing kick. Here is another image from one of the adjacent hallways. As you can see, there is good reason for ... Read More »
