Waxing Cresent

These are a couple of photos from my walk around town yesterday afternoon.

Thurmond, WV

I'd like to have a dollar for every time somebody made a photo just like this one.  ;-)

Andy's Grill

I'd seen a couple of articles and photos in the paper and on instagram about Andy's Grill about to be torn down, so I had to go by and get some photos of my own.

A Cool Spiral Staircase

What A Difference...

...a day makes.  The top photo is from Sunday afternoon.  It was cold but sunny.  The temperature was about the same today as yesterday, around 15 degrees F. 

Plant Lab

I don't know what a plant lab is, but I thought the sign in the alley looked cool.

Fayetteville, WV

I took a little walk around Fayetteville Saturday morning.  I wasn't looking for anything in particular to photograph, as per the advice of Jay Maisel.  He made a short video with a couple of tips on how to become a better photographer.  You can watch the video here.  He said (I'm paraphrasing) "be open, walk slower and don't try to obey all of photography's rules.  Just photograph what interests you".  That's what I do most of the time anyway.  I like these two photos, especially the "for rent" sign.  The colors and the lines and angles caught my eye.  The thing that interests me about the photo of the old Fayette theater is the amount of overhead wires criss crossing the area.  I didn't pay much attention to them until I saw the photo.

Old Post Office

This is the top of the old post office in Saint Albans, WV.  It was placed on The National Register of Historic Places in 1994.  It's now the home of Chapman Technical Group.

Lee Street

From an elusive sunny day a couple of weeks ago.

City Hall, Charleston, WV

Charleston Baptist Temple

This is from one day last week.  All we've had is cloudy weather for a while, but it makes for good black and white photography.

West Virginia State Capitol

Sunday Afternoon Color

It had been a while since I went for a walk just specifically to make pictures, so while Kim was nappin', Molly and I went to Charleston and walked around town for a while.  It was perfect weather and there was still some color on a few of the trees downtown.

Saturday Morning Street Shots

I had a couple of things to do in Charleston Saturday morning, so while I was there I took a nice walk around downtown.

Steeple Sunset

R J Reynolds Mural

This is part of a mural in the lobby / 1st floor of the R. J. Reynolds Building in Winston-Salem.  I made this photo through a window.  It would be cool to get inside and be able to photograph the whole thing.

Champion

Somewhere in Winston-Salem, NC.

Winston-Salem, NC

I was looking through some of my photos I made on our trip to Winston-Salem last spring and saw this on I liked.  You'd never know it by looking at the sky but there was a record breaking ice storm the day before and there was still a bunch of ice/snow/slush on the streets.

509 ???

A cool looking door (I thought so anyway) near downtown Beaufort, SC.

Saint Helena Episcopal

As Molly and I walked through the cemetery of Saint Helena Parrish yesterday evening I looked up and saw this view that I don't think I've made a photo of before.  This is a very photogenic building.
