Here's another iPhone shot from back in 2017. Sometimes the gift shop next to an attraction provides an interesting angle on the attraction. ;-) This is a collection of metallic Space Needle replicas in a bin, shot from above. #photography #seattle #shotoniphone

How do you photograph something that's been photographed a million times by a million people? This question always runs through my mind when I'm traveling and seeing the sites. I try to look for perspectives that are different than what you'd expect. #photography #seattle #spaceneedle #chihuly

Remember when tv's were furniture? I cam across this one in an alley a few years back, by a dumpster. I only had my phone with me and couldn't avoid the reflection, so the photo turned into a self portrait of sorts. #photography #antiques #junk

Ya'll remember A&W, right? I do! #photography #americana

The Olympics have me thinking about the metric system for some reason. Maybe some day. #photography #tools

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Posted - any bird on a post or fence. Hopefully a pelican on a seawall qualifies.

My office window provided a perfect view of a little snow squall that ripped down the Maumee River in downtown Toledo last week. Visibility went to near zero...for a few minutes. Blue skies and sunshine appeared ten minutes later. Amazing to watch. #photography #midwest #winter

Light is everywhere and always tells a story. We're in the depths of winter right now, but the sun spilled through our window this morning and splashed against the wall in our foyer. Such a welcome sight. #photography

Pinocchio's at sunset

Merry Christmas and ho ho ho.

Here's another snapshot through the office window of the (near) tessellation we had on the Maumee River this week. I went to grab a cup of coffee and managed to catch this ray of sunlight splash across the surface as I got back to my desk. Dreary skies returned a minute later.

We've got a near tessellation of the Maumee River in beautiful (and cold) downtown Toledo. Warmer temps are expected this afternoon and will kill any chance at a complete tiling of the river surface. And geese are just built differently.

We don't get to watch much ship traffic on the river this time of year, but I've come to appreciate the geometry of freezing water and melting ice. It's pretty fascinating, actually.

Winter has definitely arrived in Ohio, which has me wishing I was playing shuffleboard in Florida. Time to book a flight.

Fly-by Construction. London, 2025.

If you measure a museum by its stairways, well, The Courtauld Gallery in central London would be near the top of the list. Its collection ranks highly for me, too, but this photograph of the stairwell caught my eye this morning as I looked back on a recent visit. #London #museum #courtauldgallery

It’s snowing outside, and here’s Teddy ignoring my attempt to ignore him asking me to put him outside for the fourth time this morning.

Not a particularly great morning, as I’m waking to read the news that Martin Parr has passed away. I’ve enjoyed learning about his work and life over the last several years as my interest in photography and photographers has grown.

Here's the scene and setup for the supermoon photo I posted earlier this week. I was all alone on the banks of the river...or so I thought. You can see a coyote (I think!) walk around a cluster of trees at the end of this clip. He or she noticed me noticing him...and quickly darted away.

We've had quite the run of supermoons lately - last night's was the third of four in a row. The "cold moon" as it's known lived up to its name…I can confirm that it was quite cold down by the river as I waited for it to climb above the river (and bridge!). #landscape #moon #supermoon #photography

I caught this glimpse of the sunrise as I walked away from a spot I had picked for a recent sunrise shoot. I was done for the morning, or so I thought. Didn't expect that…or that black and white would work for a sunrise photograph. I think it does. #blackandwhite #landscape #sunrise #photography

This rock is on the way to a favorite photography spot of mine. I rarely think much about it, but noticed it in this perfect light awhile back, and thought it was beautiful. The right light just has a way of doing that. #photography #landscape #goldenhour

Is that a Roman arch within a Gothic arch? Why yes, yes it is. Oxford University, England. #architecture #photography #Oxford #england

Licensed to Deal in Game. I love the period at the end, not sure why. Like the period in the Wall Street Journal masthead.

Parking, not a Park, unfortunately. #photography #sign

Blue Grass Island in the Maumee River is undeveloped, but does have a couple of clearings on it. This lone tree stands near the edge of one of them and provided a nice frame for the sun as it rose over the Maumee River and the tree line of the island. #photography #landscape #sunrise

Morning arrives in downtown. The street is quiet… for now. #sunrise #photography

The lines and colors of my daily commute are pretty amazing. #photography #Toledo #commute

Up and at it! #morning #sunrise #photography

I went downtown early in the morning to get a shot I've been thinking about for awhile. I walked around a corner after getting that shot and found this interesting angle. #photography #photographer #urban

This is the view I see every morning on the way into the office. Well, nearly every morning. The sunrise doesn't always cooperate and sometimes a ship at the dock blocks the view. I finally captured a photograph of it. #photography #sunrise #photographer

There's an old phone booth near the entrance to Embankment Station of the London Underground. I went in just to sort of check it out but quickly realized its panes of glass provided some nice framing for people in the to and fro for the Tube. So I grabbed a few frames. #London #StreetPhotography

A non-functional old phone booth provided a perfect place to rest my camera for a slow shutter speed shot of people walking toward Embankment Station of the London Underground. #London #StreetPhotography

Out come the umbrellas.

Remember when you'd sit in a public place and just… sit. Maybe people watch a bit? Very few people do that these days. The phone seems to come out almost automatically. Sometimes I wonder what "bored thinking" we're losing as a result. It's not nothing, I know that. #people #tech #photography

This photo is the reason (well, one of the reasons) why I haven't started using "AI-powered culling" in my photography workflow. Nothing in it is in focus. Nothing. Yet, for some reason, I love the photo. And I suspect every AI culling tool out there would have killed it. #photography #ai

The trench coat was just too much…I had to capture this scene. I have no idea who she is or where she's going, but I'm intrigued. #London #Underground

I love the contrast in this photo… the energy of traffic racing by Trafalgar Square and the stoic nature of Elizabeth Tower standing calmly in the background. Familiar stability backstopping the chaotic nature of daily life. Love it. #London #StreetPhotography #BlackAndWhitePhotography

Here's another shot of this week's supermoon over downtown Toledo. I think I like this one a bit better that the one I posted earlier. Moon crossing the cables, last bit of sunlight, and traffic on the bridge. Got all of it! #photography #moon #supermoon #Toledo #ohio

We've got a supermoon! Everything lined up perfectly last night - full moon (supermoon!) rising over the bridge right outside my office, as the sun set. I love it when a plan comes together! #photography #Toledo #ohio #supermoon

We took a side trip to Oxford one day. Nice to see, but it was a little rushed. Maybe someday we'll get a chance to spend a little more time there. I got the important shots though - Hertford Bridge, a.k.a. the "Bridge of Sighs" (named after the one in Venice)...

We walked along the backside of St. Paul's Cathedral on the way home from dinner one night and came across this nice reflection. I only had my iPhone with me, but I was pretty happy with the shot! #London #ShotOniPhone
