Lemons to Lemonade

So I check into a little boutique hotel. Little room. Little space between the adjacent building.

Hence this view:

But a quick look to the right offers something a little more interesting with lines, texture and contrast.

Still a lousy view, though.  At least they put a chocolate on my bed for nighty night.  And otherwise still a cool hotel.

Shadows in the Snow

It's a cool, crisp, clear morning here on the prairies.  Low light and burms of snow make for interesting shape and texture.  Conveniently located out of my window.

It's Just a Handrail

Having a camera in a phone really is a great thing. Walking into the office this morning and notice the line and texture created by hard morning light. Normal people see a handrail and a step. Or nothing at all.

I see a need to stop and shoot with my iPhone in one hand and my Starbucks in another. It's a sickness, really.

Converted to black and white with Nik Software's amazing Snapseed app.

From Earth to Sky

At my daughter's weekly soccer game tonight and the weather was fine. I'm generally hoisting the "big" guns and pretending to be a sports shooter but tonight I left the gear at home. Too many photos to deal with as it is.

Too bad as the light was nice. Cracked out the iPhone for a quick study in shadows, and then looked to the sky. It looked as if someone had painted in some clouds just for me.
