Weekly Photoset: November 25, 2018

I had most of last week off work, which offered a break in routine, as well as the opportunity for a short road trip in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday. The upshot of all that is a weekly photoset that’s a bit heavier than usual.

This week’s set also features some pretty vivid color shots among the standard black and white fare. I do love strong black and white images, but I’m certainly not married to the look, because every image has its own requirements. I’m just trying to create what I see in my mind’s eye — without too much editing — and I see in both color and black and white.

Most of these images are devoid of people, too, which has, historically, been a compositional norm in most of my photography. As I mentioned in last week’s post, I’m still working on my comfort zone when it comes to taking pictures of people in public, but the opportunity to do so didn’t really avail itself last week.
