Smoke Break
Black And White Photography, Laurie, Photography
The guitar player’s face was so expressive and I had fun taking photos of him. But it was the curl of smoke from his cigarette that stole the show for me.
Pauline
Black And White Photography, Laurie, PhotographyIt’s all about the story …
As we left our Old Town Alexandria restaurant that night, Pauline pointed across the street and said “Look Laurie! That would make a great picture; like film noir” (that’s not an exact quote, by the way).
And she was right! All that was missing was a guy or gal, leaning against the wall, smoking a cigarette.
Well, a tripod was missing, too, but thanks to Pauline for being the inspiration behind this shot.

On The Way Out of Town

The morning found me back on the road again, and I was rushing to keep on time. This scene made me stop the truck, run across the road, and wander around shooting in the dew soaked median for just a bit.
Yet another reason to love photography … the chance to stop, to breathe, and to capture the beauty that surrounds us.

It almost seems a shame to post this in monochrome as the colors change depending on the weather and time of day. Then again, this gorgeous sculpture by Jon Hair is a beauty no matter how you look at it.

It Just Won’t Work
Black And White Photography, Laurie, Photography
As I ride along, I am often entertained by the messages on church signs. This one made me laugh out loud and I just had to stop.
Knowing that with work and preparing for travel I might not have a chance to spend time with the camera, I pulled this image from the archives.
Hope you got a little chuckle, too!
