Lunchtime In the Rain

Today's post includes  photos from Carondolet Park in South St. Louis and images from a classical public library in South St. Louis the Carondolet Branch of the St. Louis Public Library at 6800 Michigan Ave. Hope you enjoy. Please leave me comments if you like or dislike my work. I am working on slowing things down an making compositions. These images have had minimum post shoot processing. I willl adjust the contrast, crop, do some aligment. I have recently been removing the camera distortion much the way you might with a large format view camera that has shift and tile. I am planning on working with the Graflex Super Graphic that I have now very soon. I am interseted to see how I can manipulate selective focus with the view/press camera. Thanks!

St. Louis VP Fair and Fourth of July Celebration

I am fortunate enough to have a really good vantage point for seeing the riverfront festivities here in St. Louis. The 15th Floor office location of the place where I work at Oculus Inc. That means air shows, bands, crowds and of course fireworks. Here are some of my photos from this past holiday. These are just some of the many photos taken over a three day stretch. Enjoy! Comments are certainly welcomed.
