Had to kill some time this evening at Arby’s while getting my car fixed. As I was sipping my hot, sweetened coffee, a thought sparkled to hone my composition skills 😉
That’s how I ended up with this coffee shot.
Arby’s coffee – nothing special, just another run-of-the-mill coffee.
Spotted this driftwood in a lake close home.
Lately I am leaning towards narrative photography 😉
I like my shots to be unstaged, more natural, and those seems to tell a story. Realized a better place to start it is at home – with kids there always seems to be plenty of moments to explore in narrative photography.
Shot this as my kids were busy with their reading/writing. Used 50mm Nikon @f/5.6 for this shot.
A quick shot to depict the change in season.
Had a chance to tryout Guerrilla Street Food this noon. Although their street food is not new to me, this time was rather different as I got free lunch 😉
They had tweeted earlier with a password and the first 5 to tell ’em their password gets free lunch – I guess it pays to follow ’em on twitter. Thank you Guerrilla Food!
Shot this as I waiting for my order to be filled.
Another shot from a park close home. I have been there umpteen times and always surprised when I can find something new to capture.
Shot this bench overlooking lake Whetzel. This bench sits on an embankment and as I was walking around the lake, found this low lying area which gave an interesting view.
This shots much reminds me of the winter time in park when it’s almost empty…hence the title Emptiness.
Another shot from our visit to Oberweis ice-cream store last week. Kids definitely enjoyed their chess game while enjoying their frozen treats.
Had a chance to make a quick visit to the Missouri History Museum just before sunset last evening. Spent few minutes taking shots outside the museum and shot this by the entrance to the museum. Interestingly the colors/glow put out by the street light seems to go perfectly with those evening clouds 😉
Had a chance to visit Oberweis ice cream store (on Sunday) with friends on our way back from the Midwest Music Conservatory after the music recital program. It was a treat for kids for doing a wonderful job during their recital.
I took some quick shots of the kids enjoying their treat and this one in particular turned out really well. I really like the natural flow in this shot of the friends kids (3yr and 4yr old) having a chitchat while enjoying their treat.
Makes me wonder what they’re chatting about 😉
Had a chance to take some pictures at the Midwest Music Conservatory yesterday while my daughter had her vocal music recital performance there. Elsewhere on the web, I read this place used to be a Methodist Church – really enjoyed my shots there. Although they allowed flash photography, I liked non-flash to bring out the colors/lighting/shadows. This was shot handheld 😉
