A Year in Photos

Photography, fiction, and personal essays form my three primary creative outlets. For this blog's first 18 months, I used it primarily for photography. As I've returned to creative writing, I'll use this blog for fiction, too. Sometimes, when reality needs to be discussed more than truth, I write personal essays.

This blog will continue to showcase as many above-average photos as I can muster. Hopefully my written work will be as good or better than the visual. Whichever drew you here -- photographs or fiction, I hope you enjoy both.

Back in Black

This week will see a return to last year's format with photos every day. On Google+ I'm part of a private group that studies black and white photography and has weekly assignments. The other week we had an assignment to photograph objects in a perfectly black background. I had some issues with that, but still had some nifty results. This week we'll look at some results and I'll explain how I arrived at them. Here's a sample of some of what's coming.











All of these were taken on my Pentax K-7 with the Sigma 50mm 1:1 macro lens. Each post this week will explain the image and how I arrived at it, as well as providing the original color image.
