I love texture in photography, which is probably why I just about always work in black and white. Black and white photography has the ability to really bring out textural attributes in a way that color photography can not. By removing the color, other attributes of the image come alive. Texture being one of them. As always, comments are appreciated
For as long as I can remember, I've avoided including power lines, cell towers, street lights, etc.. in my photographs. I always saw them as something that shouldn't be included in my compositions. They were extraneous bits that were getting in the way of my otherwise "perfect" image. I'd change my position, select a different lens, crop, or just give up entirely and not even make an image with the irratating stuff in it. That "stuff" exists in this world and I can no longer try to avoid it. I've decided to embrace these things that have annoyed me for so long. It is no longer something to be avoided but something I am embracing as a subject. As always, comments are appreciated

There is a small marina near my home that I regularly walk my dogs by. Sometimes on these walks I'll take a camera along, but not often. It can be quite difficult and frustrating to compose images while holding on to the leashes of restless canines. This particular day, the dogs stood still long enough for me to be able to get a few images of these sails being aired out. As always, comments are appreciated

I'm not always sure what compels me to take the pictures I do. At the time I'm photographing, I just kind of let go and allow myself to do what seems right at the time. This is a perfect example of that. Concrete Blocks? Why am I taking these pictures? It turns out, that these images of hunks of concrete display some of what I find beautiful about abstract black and white photography. Texture, Negative Space, and Shapes. As always, comments are appreciated

I'm not one who does much nature photography, but I couldn't resist making a few images after seeing some really impressive cloud formations recently. As always, comments are appreciated
