Rusty 111/365, originally uploaded by Gallery32/Chocolata.
I found this rusty old warehouse building in East Lawrence. I love rust! It fascinates me the way things go through life. Shiny and new one day, then old and rusty the next. I added a spot of Urban Acid to enhance the feel. Short post today, as I have little to say.
Peace!

Train Station Light 110/365, originally uploaded by Gallery32/Chocolata.
I had read an article the the Lawrence Journal World about the Amtrak Station here in town. I decided today to go take some photos. It was weird walking around in this space that felt lost in time. Built it 1956, it has striking lines and some great features. It is in desperate need of restoration and Dennis Domer, co-chairman of Depot Redux, is working with the city to make just that happen. I like the light on the floor in this photo and decided it needed to be in black and white. Be sure to hop over to my flickr too see the other photos from today.
Good Day!

Utensil Triptych 109/365, originally uploaded by Gallery32/Chocolata.
I have decided to do black and white studies of the utensils in my kitchen. They will be combination of photos in diptych or triptych form. I shot these with my Nikon D80 in aperture mode to play with focusing and depth of field. I am hoping that these studies will improve my shooting ability. We shall see.
Peace!

Bowl, Scallions & Cukes 108/365, originally uploaded by Gallery32/Chocolata.
I was not inspired to take a photo today so these are the veggies for one of my favorite dishes, Soba Noodles with Chicken and Peanut Sauce. It’s really spicy and yummy if your aren’t allergic to peanuts.
I found this recipe on Epicurious which is one of my favorite recipe sites.
Monday Funday!

Dandelion Sky 107/365, originally uploaded by Gallery32/Chocolata.
I have to admit I have seen a few of this type pf photo on flickr and I had to try it myself. Although it is not an original idea, I really like the effect and the fragility of the photo.
Peace.

Hand Soap 106/365, originally uploaded by Gallery32/Chocolata.
There were few choices for photos today, as it was soggy outside. I took this in my kitchen as the sun peaked through for a moment. I think it looks like some alien goo dripping from the frame. I am wierd, I know.
Good Day !

Pink and Monotone 105/365, originally uploaded by Gallery32/Chocolata.
I thought this photo was ok but not blog worthy. Then I added the pink and I think it makes the one bud stand out a bit. I really like those pink tips and the subtlety of the color.
Happy Friday!

Pharmacy 104/365, originally uploaded by Gallery32/Chocolata.
Today’s project was about increasing my digital darkroom skills. I have used Photoshop for years, but have never really been satisfied with my skills in converting color to black and white. I began by converting to gray-scale and then tweaking the levels and curves. I noticed the overall richness in tone and detail in this technique rather than using just the brightness/contrast. Still learning.
Lovely Day to All

Dandelion Tree 103/365, originally uploaded by Gallery32/Chocolata.
It was an inside day so I decided to play around with the image overlay setting on my Nikon D80. I really like this feature since it is a technique I use in photoshop. There is also a multiple exposure setting which I will post results of tomorrow. I have had this camera for 5 months now and am still amazed at all of the different ways to make images.
Peace.

Altered Iris 102/365, originally uploaded by Gallery32/Chocolata.
I forgot that I had planted Iris bulbs in my backyard. Much to my suprise, I found them today and had to take a photo. I wanted this photo to feel romantic because Iris have always had that feeling to me. It will probably be a while until new floral photos, but never fear, I have planted my summer garden!
Enjoy the blah day!
