The Path Towards the InfernoBy: James A. B.


Here in Seattle Washington it is not often that we have clouds, Let me finish... Clouds that are interesting and dramatic!Yes, we have clouds, often, it is very frustrating since I believe I have that seasonal affected disorder and the sun brings me Joy.Back to my point.  Taking photos in Seattle outside is difficult, cause either you have absolutely No Clouds or so much cloud coverage there is nothing to take a pic of that incorporates a cool sky,and let's be honest, we all love a cool dramatic sky.So on this particular evening it was fun because Finally, a Cool Sky!

Back in the SaddleBy: James A. B.
I am back in NY for the moment.  Soon to be traveling to San Fran, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Corpus Christi, and others around and abouts.A moment of color changed form within side the house again and I just knew the sky was probably crazy and to my, much pleasure it was!It was gorgeous.The sky was so Red that in post processing I had to die down the saturation so the image wouldn’t be what we call “blown out”...I was Happy : )

The Most Courageous Sheep of AllBy: James A. B.

Would you stand nearly 100 feet away from an cliff like that?I don’t think I wouldI would rather be grabbing some rope and feeling some form of protection before looking down that kind of dropThis is one of my favorite photos from a trip I took with a buddy of mine to Ireland.  This is at the Cliffs of Moher and I loved every second of it.Even though the days we were there were cold, rainy, generally miserable it was still such a beautiful spot, I hear its even better in the summer time.Perhaps a “re-trip” is in order? What do you think Cody?

A Backyard BeautyBy: James A. B.
I enjoy living in places with a good view primarily on my “lazy days” where I do not want to leave my place.Then a beautiful Sunset appears and I’m like ah I should go somewhere and capture this, but with a place that has a nice view, I don’t have to go anywhere...And it’s Wonderful~  Like this shot here was off of my balcony in WA state.

Ever Dream of Flying?By: James A. B.

I Do.And I encourage them, I absolutely LOVE those dreams, they are not only beautiful but so peacefully energetic and an adrenaline rush all at the same timeIn fact I would go so far as to say that would be my wish if a Genie were to show up right here, right now, and granted me one wish, I’d say:”Genie, I wish I could Fly!”What would your Genie Wish be?

All Points Lead to the NeedleBy: James A. B.

"They say" that in composition it is a good idea to have your subject pointed out such as in leading lines or having elements in your environment point to your primary subject. Well that is precisely what I tried to do in this photo... By the way who are "They" anyway....So take a look- the edge of the architectural building points to the needle, the trees at the top left point to the needle, the two shiny pillars point to the needle, even the trees in the background and the path of the sidewalk all point, and lead the eye to the needle... Accident? I think not.

Pixel Bending Magic or an Oil Painting?By: James A. B.

I’d like to think and perhaps even fantasize that I could do an oil painting such as this;   The detail, the curves, the way the water just speaks to you in riddles about autumn and peace; Well truth be told this is a photo of this scene on the side of the road and I did some pixel bending magic from photoshop to make it the wayit is; Cheating? perhaps, but I think even Monet and Van Gough would think its cool then immediately slap me across the face. I have a long time ahead of me before my photos begin to look like a Monet impressionist painting, but I would like to hope that the day is out there in the future some time.

Architecture at its GreatestBy: James A. B.

I wonder if there are architects out there that seeing a building like this, yes a building like this-This Crushed Can looking building actually sits the place of Seattles Space CenterGetting back, I wonder if architects see this building and get mad.  Mad because it broke all the rules!Or, are there architects out there that rejoice the rule breaking? It seems that in this world of consistent change and fast moving, and everything being instant, Rules are Being Broken.We have “rules” or perhaps suggestions in photography, but honestly, breaking them is more fun, and it seems to be the thing to do these days....Creatively speaking that is ; )
