Smithsonian Candidate #11…Death from Above

Posted by Imagery Photography on

I am thinking of entering the Smithsonian Photo Contest even though I have zero chance of winning. I say that not to denigrate my ability as a photographer, but each category already has over 50,000 entries. Sure a lot of them are crap but some, well follow the link above and see for yourself. Also you can only submit work from 1/1/2016 until the present and all works with people must have a model release.

If you are familiar with any of my work (e.g. Moment and Souls) you probably realize I don’t have a lot of model releases.

Fortunately I do have some images that may qualify in other categories and will be publishing some here to see if you feel they quality. Please comment and let me know your thoughts. This is an entry in the nature category and is an image of the death throes of a gecko in the grasp of a blue heron.

Doors of Prague #2

Posted by Imagery Photography on

Traveling through Europe I became facinated with some of the ancient doorways of the cities. One of the first I ever published was in March of 2012. It was a doorway in Bruges that I photographed in the 1990″s while I was there on business.

The doorways of Prague (Praha) in the Czech Republic were some of the best I have ever seen. I published a few in 2016 but have since done some editing so that you can appreciate the detail and variety of these ancient doorways.

Tuesdays With Toomey–Stress Release Civics

Posted by Imagery Photography on

I don’t usually write political posts and this one is more of a civics post than a political one. A lot of progressive and moderate people in the United States are feeling anxious. One way to deal with that anxiety is to DO SOMETHING!

Every Tuesday in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and other Pennsylvania cities people gather in front of Senator Pat Toomey’s offices to engage in non-violent protest. Pat Toomey is Pennsyvania’s conservative Senator.

Being involved helps to relieve the anxiety. Contributing helps you to feel invloved and more hopeful when you are with others that share your points of view. No matter what your beliefs please get involved. The tragedy of the last election was that 46 percent of Americans didn’t vote. Apathy kills democracy. Get involved and for god’s sake VOTE!

Regent Square Theater

Posted by Imagery Photography on

When we returned to Pittsburgh three years ago we were excited about our new neighborhood. It was great when we left in 1978 and since returning it continues to get better in every way. We were excited that the Regent Square Theater was still here.

We went to see a couple of films and walking up to the theater was fun but inside the theater had deteriorated. Then the theater closed for a while and the whole neighborhood was sad. It was closed for a long time and we thought its absence would change our area. Then to our joy we found out that they were finding funds to refurbish it.

Last night was our first night back to The the theater. We went to see The Mads from Mystery Science Theater 3000. The Pittsburgh Filmakers had promised live events and we had great fun watching a terrible movie with the Mads. We laughed like crazy and enjoyed the improved projection system and comfortable seats. Way to go Pittsburgh Filmmakers! Thanks for giving our neighborhood our Theather back.

Pittsburgh’s Waterfalls—Fall Run Park

Posted by Imagery Photography on

We live in Regent Square and wanted to take our dog (Trey) to see her first water fall. We didn’t want to drive a long way to Cucumber Falls so I did a little research and found out there are a few water falls in the Greater Pittsburgh Area,
This is Fall Run Park in Allison Park. Its not a giant waterfall but it is a nice short hike of about a mile through a wooded area with wooden bridges over the streams. There are also wooden steps leading to a lookout at the top of the falls.

The whole experience made Trey smile and me too.
