Many shades of gray.

Taking photographs such as this is really typical. I see them all the time on flickr and other photo sharing sites. When I saw this at first I passed it up but when I looked again in my black and white future sight mode I had to shoot it. The shades and the shapes and the sun coming across. You can’t pass up everything hitting just right. Plus I just walked up about 200 stairs to get there so…..I had to take a knee.

Never have liked this city. Oklahoma City.

Recently it has been growing and growing on me. I don’t really know why.

The weather was perfect this day. The crew and I walked up seven flights of stairs to get to this. FYI: parking garages are easy easy easy ways to get a high vantage point. Most are easy to sneak into and some even have external stairs.

Oklahoma City is growing on me but Tulsa is still better.

Tulsa ftw.

Grabbed my tripod.

Grabbed my camera.

Grabbed the keys.

Shoot shoot shoot.

I saw this coming into play from the backyard and drove quickly to get this photograph. I have other but none were as striking when I looked through Bridge. Oi, I really do need a 70-200 lens. Zooming in with a wide angle lens isn’t giving me the sharpness that I want.

This entire week has been dedicated to Michael Jackson. I already listened to the Thriller album nonstop and now I’ve listened to it 10x more than usual.

Rest in Peace good sir.

So, I’m revealing a new mini-series that I’ve been working on. The PoNe.

PoNe stands for PositiveNegative. The idea for this is unknown. I just felt like exploring how things look in both forms. At first I was just going to do a series of nothing but negatives but I think looking at both forms will allow you to appreciate both. I don’t know, I might change it back to nothing but negatives.

We’ll see.

It’s been a while since I’ve shot architecture. Being in New York City gave me an endless stream of architecture and life to shoot. There’s architecture and life in Tulsa, you just have to dig a little harder.

While walking on the river trail I spotted two spots with some cool views. The above is what [I think] is some kind of retirement home. Below.. the Cityplex Towers. The clouds and sun play on this day were excellent.

Enjoy.
