Twenty Five - Just Grass





On the hill just pass Smith's heading south on Harrison Blvd on the left side spotted some grass tuffs that looked like they would be fun to photograph. Made mental note and continued on to eat a late lunch at the new indian restuarant at 36th and Harrison Blvd. After lunch came back and took these photos.

Day Twenty Four - Lindquist Field



Took some more photos at Lindquist Field, the home of the Ogden Raptors, at 2330 Lincoln Ave, Ogden Utah.

Quote of the Day: "To take photographs means to recognize-simultaneously and within a fraction of a second-both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one’s head, one’s eye and one’s heart on the same axis." - Henri Cartier-Bresson

Day Twenty Three - Light Pole Bolt




I know that I am some times fascinated by the simplist things, but there is a lot going on with these nuts, bolts, and washers. The colors that make up rust, the textures, the patterns, the play of light and shadows, and oh so much more.

Quote of the Day: "Photographers stop photographing a subject too soon before they have exhausted the possibilities." - Dorothea Lange

Twenty Two - Lambs Ear



Was going out to find something to photograph, and found this in my own backyard.

Day Twenty one - Fountain of Leaves


Found these leaves in a fountain in the court yard on the North side of the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepard at 2374 Grant Ave, Ogden UT.

Quote of the Day: "You learn to see by practice. It's just like playing tennis, you get better the more you play. The more you look around at things, the more you see. The more you photograph, the more you realize what can be photographed and what can't be photographed. You just have to keep doing it." - Eliot Porter

Day Twenty - Reflective Eyes












While looking around the South side of Lindquist Field Monday I spotted a face being reflected in a window on the West side of a building at 218 24th Street, so today decided to see if I could get a photo I liked from the reflection.


Found these leaves on the wall of the parking garage on the North side of the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepard court yard at 2374 Grant Ave, Ogden UT.

Quote of the Day: "The two most engaging powers of [a photographer] are to make new things familiar and familiar things new." - W. Thackeray

Day Nineteen - Rainy Day Tuesday






There is something fascinating about finding droplets of rain on some object.

Quote of the Day: "It is part of the photographer's job to see more intensely than most people do. He must have and keep in him something of the receptiveness of the child who looks at the world for the first time or of the traveler who enters a strange country. Most photographers would feel a certain embarrassment in admitting publicly that they carried within them a sense of wonder, yet without it they would not produce the work they do, whatever their particular field. It is a gift of seeing the life around them clearly and vividly, as something that is exciting in its own right. It is an innate gift, varying in intensity with the individual's temperament and environment." - Bill Brandt - "Camera in London", The Focus Press, London 1948, p. 14
