foggy night shenanigans






























































To all the artists here who think there's nothing "inspiring" in Toledo, I say stop complaining and walk out your front door!  These pictures were taken outside my apartment on a foggy night in Toledo, Ohio.   I used a cheap little Canon Powershot A610 point and shoot.   The only light was from the street lamps and porch lights.   This shoot was a lot of fun!   Amy-Marie looks beautiful and a little haunting in some of these pics.  Her hat and coat really fit the mood!  I was amazed at how beautiful they turned out, especially with the camera I was using.   I think they have a sort of Old world... Rembrandtish, oil painting look to them, not that I'm in any way comparing myself to Rembrandt but I couldn't help seeing that style in the pictures.   So yeah, I think inspiration is all around us no matter where we are we just have to open our eyes.   Thank you Amy-Marie for insisting we go outside on a cold and foggy night and take pictures, it was inspiring!

banana tree

It's always fun visiting my brother's greenhouse.    I always feel like I've been transported to a tropical rainforest, especially when I find myself standing under a big banana tree loaded with banana's!   I like the look of the tropical banana tree next to the classic midwestern red barn.   It's something you wouldn't expect to see.
