It wasn’t a big week for photography between resting on my laurels after completing the 100 days project and last minute issues with the completion of my new home. I did spot these natty awnings in downtown Medford where I was meeting a friend for dinner and the evening light couldn’t have been more perfect. … Continue reading Windows

Day 74 – Architectural Abstract
I used to beat myself up for not getting out to shoot every day but I am finding that sometimes I am at my most creative when I have to sift through what I have already shot to find something new. This one is an outtake from a building in downtown Ashland. I have processed… Continue reading Day 74 – Architectural Abstract
Day 54 – Shadow
OK, I admit it, I am reaching here. It’s not so much that I have been lazy as I have been busy doing other things. So yes, it is time to get out and shoot some new material. What this ended up being was an exercise in post processing as what compelled me to trip… Continue reading Day 54 – Shadow

This one graces the Rogue River in Gold Beach. I loved the idea of this image when I took it but the result was kind of ho… Continue reading Day 29 – Rogue River Bridge
Day – 17 Tree with glass block windows
Here’s another entry in the downtown Ashland architectural detail project. One of the beauties of this project is that there are buildings from all eras downtown. Though much of downtown was built in the 19th century, this building has the art deco look of the 1930s. In post processing I had to do some perspective… Continue reading Day – 17 Tree with glass block windows
Day 4 – Hotel
I thought it was time to get out of the garden and since I was downtown to sign some real estate papers yesterday I started experimenting with an idea I have had in mind to shoot architectural detail in downtown Ashland. This is the Hotel formerly known as the Mark Anthony. It’s current name is… Continue reading Day 4 – Hotel
