D 255 - 257

“Life's up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals - Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want”
Marsha Sinetar quotes

I will expound on this quote on a later post.

Did I forget to mention I roamed this abandoned church for a bit? It's been about a year since my last visit there. Since my last visit, there have been 2 movies filmed there, Nightmare on Elm Street and Transformers 3. It's called City Methodist Church in Gary, Indiana

Life is good - live it to the fullest.

D-54 Architechtual Element - More Textures

Another white sky day and this old church revisited. I think I can go back to this place many, many times and still find something different. To me, white skies equals lots of textures. Especially if the subject is still life.



The textures used today are by the ever talented and ever generous Jerry Jones AKA "Shadowhouse Creations" AKA SkeletalMess" Drop by his blog and leave him some blog love. We could all use a little more of that.

Today's Photographer is Barry Rosenthal. Of Particular interest is the "Lost in Nature" series which I just found today, but it really goes with the photo series I started yesterday.

Book: Pages 13-32 "Exploring the Nikon D300" Just gave a little more detail than the quick tour did. I did learn that I have some control over the on camera flash. I can control some of the brightness. I also learned a different way of formatting the card without having to go into the main menu.

33/365 Architechtual Element

All Saints Church is a Cathedral Style. I don't have any of the data that goes with this church but it is the second time I take pictures of it. I love it's Gothic Cathedral Style and I'm pretty sure it's part of the historical society's listing. I'll get back to you on that. What do I do when I get nothing but grey skies? I add texture and color. I'm still learning to blend so they are not perfect but they are pretty dramatic.


This one is also in Hammond but this one is for sale.


This one is just for laughs: Ghetto Hood Prop. Seriously?


After work I ran 4 miles today.

Angel of Mercy

Today's theme is Architecture and while this is not a building it is a monument that I drive by everyday. The skies are still grey around here. I added lots and lots of textures and colors compliments of Shadowhouse Creations




Original image - oh yeah and that is snow.

Monochromatic Monday

The sky was a perfect white today. It goes along with my theme for today - Monochromatic.
I used my Beast of a lens for this one. Nikon 70-200mm
I love the detail on this church.

Thanks to Pam for suggesting I add Topaz for added demension.


Just Darn cold!

spring is right around the corner
