Its official

I think it is safe to say that Autumn has officially arrived. I was dully reminded when taking Liza for her morning walk and I said, “Damn it got cold.” This photo is from last Friday while partying on the DT Mall.

Say hello to Oliver

Late last week I finally got around to doing some portraits of Liza. She turned out to be less than a willing subject. Oliver, on the other hand, wanted to be in the limelight, or at least strobe light. Ollie dog has been a bit bummed out by all the attention being lavished on the […]

Yipee Kay-Yay….

Far out man

I took Eliza to the vet today and it is all good news. I think the vet fell for her almost as hard as I did. The doc thinks she is really around two years old instead of the four the SPCA guestimated her at. I dedicate this picture to Andrew who couldn’t make it […]

Charlottesville Drivers

I interrupt this regularly scheduled blog to bring you this important announcement. Charlottesville drivers suck! I log about 20,000 miles annually well over half of which are for work.

Clark Headstone

Western Albemarle is home to many photographic treasures. I stumbled upon this while examining a cemetery in White Hall last fall.

Night Train

I was out having a good time flyering for the Photo Night last night and stumbled upon this scene late in the evening. Trains are mysterious in a way just north of creepy. This photo I think illustrates that nicely. There is nothing inherently foreboding in the photo, but the weight of the surrounding blackness […]

Open your eyes

So many mornings I have walked past this scene just outside my kitchen window. Many times I thought about photographing it. It is a nice scene to have early in the morning. It also serves as a reminder for me. There are great pictures everywhere. I am not saying this is a great photo, just […]

Okay Smarty Pants

You guys are just too good. Jason got it about thirty seconds after I posted the last photo. Don’t you have work? Since people seemed to enjoy this game, here is another. Name the building. The only clue will come from yesterday’s (Wednesday) front page of the Daily Progress. Good luck. -Matt
