Posted on February 25, 2009 by GLSmyth

Each year for Christmas I receive from my parents a present of food from Omaha Steaks. Not only is this great food, but oftentimes the dry ice that keeps the food cold during transport has not completely evaporated. Needless to … Continue reading →

I decided to post another image, similar to the previous image. At the same festival I attended featuring Foghat, I was actually there to interview Tea Leaf Green, an independent group from California. I had played them on an early … Continue reading →

Foghat #2

Posted on February 25, 2009 by GLSmyth

I posted a picture of Foghat once before, but was going through some pictures yesterday and came across this one. Any time a picture makes me smile, I figure that that has got to be a successful image at least … Continue reading →

Around The House #3

Posted on February 19, 2009 by GLSmyth

This is the second of my Around The House series. I liked how the shadow played off the plastic chair, and was partially mimicked by the cable going into the house. I kept the tops of the flower pots in … Continue reading →

Posted on February 17, 2009 by GLSmyth

I had a chance to visit San Francisco on business, but was not fortunate enough to have a chance to stay long enough to fully enjoy the city. I did get up early the morning I was there and wandered … Continue reading →

Line Reversal

Posted on February 13, 2009 by GLSmyth

This is the third of my three Bromoil street photography images. I am using this process to add an element of abstraction from the scene. Everywhere I’ve ever been, people make lines and force the cars to go within these … Continue reading →

This is the second of the three Bromoil street photography images. This pictures actually relates to the Jackson Pollack In New York image I offered on Flickr. You can read the description of what was going on there. This particular … Continue reading →

Their Own Way

Posted on February 9, 2009 by GLSmyth

I’m attempting to combine street photography with the Bromoil process, and the results are rather interesting. There is no better place in the United States to do street photography than New York City, which was where I was stuck for … Continue reading →

The Riverwalk

Posted on February 6, 2009 by GLSmyth

Since I posted two images of missions from San Antonio the last couple of days, I thought I’d finish off the week with an image from the beautiful Riverwalk.  This is an exceptional river that winds its way through part … Continue reading →

Mission San Jose

Posted on February 5, 2009 by GLSmyth

Just thought I would offer another image from my visit to the missions in San Antonio. Perhaps the most picturesque of the five missions in San Antonio is that of San Jose. Founded in 1720, San Jose gained a reputation … Continue reading →

A number of years ago I had the joy of visiting San Antonio (I had business there and arrived a few days in advance). The city has five missions, the best known is the Alamo. I decided to shoot each … Continue reading →

Reflective Morning

Posted on February 2, 2009 by GLSmyth

I am a fan of reflection shots and a while back I put together a slide show that featured my favorites from within the city of Baltimore. This particular one shows a man contemplatively walking to work, perhaps reflecting on … Continue reading →
