I’m hoping this was Winter’s last breath.

This one looks even better in color, but I really enjoy black and white photography. I follow one particular photographer, Martin Gommel, who has focused a lot on black and white lately. I recommend checking out his photostream on flickr if you get a chance.

Net week’s theme is “Shifting Seasons.”

This guy was friendly, and followed me every direction I went. I also seem doomed to shoot very bucolic scenes due to my current home and running route (7 miles today).

This one is another landmark from my usual running route. Next week’s theme is “Liquid.”

This one seemed an interesting doorway for a Pizza Factory / Fat Cats.

Next week’s theme is “Symmetry.”

I had hoped earlier this week to get a majestic shot of the starry, night sky, especially since this has been my focus of reflection over the last few weeks. The cosmos.

Alas, the sky tonight was again thick with a grey-ish fog. Most of the plan-B photography ideas I had thought up only came later in the evening, and this particular photo seemed to successfully grasp multiple meanings for me. I truly appreciate the beautiful state in which I find my life, my loves and my history.

Next week’s theme is “Doorways.”

I’m trying something new here by using a combination of photos. It’s not amazing by any means, but I felt it was the best option. Is this cheating? It was also difficult to use any subject other than my adorable daughter, who has just started sitting up by herself, and is going to have a new tooth in the next few days!

I also wanted to add that I hope everyone had a fun Christmas. I know I did, despite being sick. Maybe I don’t really have an immune system made of steel. Errr silver! Or, um … never mind.

Post scriptum: Next week’s theme is “Reflection.”

As a photography neophyte, I decided to participate in a weekly photo feature, which will be part of a small syndicate of bloggers. There are three participants at the moment, including myself, and “signs” is the theme for this week.

During the majority of my runs, I travel past this black beauty of a sign. It’s not very eye-catching from a distance, but it adds to the character of the small, bucolic road which winds back and forth along the edges of a quiet stream.
