I think we've seen the last few warm days of 2026. We're moving into sweater, scarf, and jacket weather. But there are always those guys who think the change of season is a challenge to their manhood.

I walked by that woman; she checked her watch, as if someone was late. I walked by the man; he asked Siri for a garlic parmesan sauce.
I sat on a bench, took this photo. Last night I made chicken in a garlic parmesan sauce.

Had to stop walking and photograph a new 'End of Roadway' diamond that was so red it was absolutely louche.

A newly-replaced, bright red 'End of Roadway' diamond sign in an urban setting. The sign is largely obscured by the shadow of a viaduct. A parking garage can be seen on the right side of the frame.

I was getting ready to photograph a vintage Fuji #bicycle, when an old couple got out of a van & started arguing. I stayed long enough to be sure there was no violence.

Never got a shot of the bike.

All it takes to make me happy is...noticing three guys, each with one hand in a pocket. #synchronicity

Found myself out in the countryside today. All the crops have gone brown and the fields are full of tractorish things and trucks.

It was 73F this October morning & the leaves were getting restless; they're ready to go. Autumn is behind schedule.

(The broken fence? Rabbits use it as a portal.)

Morning sunlight casts the shadow of a tree on a wooden fence. A few fallen leaves are scattered on the still-green grass.

Yesterday I went to photograph an abandoned farmhouse I was told was haunted. It wasn't, but now the history of that house is haunting me.

Why yes, I did spend the morning noodling around a late 19th century abandoned farmhouse in which three people died. I mean, it's October, right?

Sometimes you pick a subject, sometimes you just fill the entire fucking frame and let the viewer decide what to look at.

Waiting, 9:24am. I was content to wait and watch the light shift.

Morning sunlight slanting in to illuminate the blue seating arrangements in a waiting area. Two inoffensive wall decorations hang above the sofa, both of which are crooked in different directions. A potted green fern is beside the blue sofa.

Reflected sunlight off the river dapples the underside of an urban bridge. (Can 'dapple' be a verb? I'm saying yes.)

I've had my eye on this line of #bollards behind my local market for over a year. There's usually a truck parked in the way, or the sun is at the wrong angle, or or or.

I managed to shoot 3 frames before a delivery truck arrived.
