78/365 - March 23, 2012 - Best Part of the Meal Today I ventured to the Old City again on my way home from work. This time I captured a shot of the old JFG Coffee factory facade. This is another HDR image that helped bring out the contrast in what was a fairly bland shot with the overcast skies. Turned out much better than I thought it would.
77/365 - March 22, 2012 - Patrick Sullivan's After Lisa dropped the kids off at the office at 5:00, I made a detour to the Old City on the way home in hopes of being inspired for today's photo. When I got to the corner of Jackson and Central, I found it. The sky was filled with storm clouds and thought it would offer some nice contrast in the background. After parallel parking the Sequoia on Jackson (which is no easy feat), I snapped a few shots on the opposite corner of the intersection from the now closed Patrick Sullivan's Saloon. This shot is an HDR image that I applied a tinted black and white filter to in Photoshop. I was really torn between the color version and this one, but decided this one gave a nostalgic feel. I really miss Patrick Sullivan's.
44/365 - February 18, 2012 - Tennessee After dropping Lisa off at a training show she was doing for one of her new jewelers, Nate and I made a detour downtown prior to going home for the afternoon. As you can tell from the photo, it was a beautiful day in Knoxville, at least until mid-afternoon when the clouds started rolling in. This is a shot of the Tennessee Theatre sign on Gay Street. I shot a similar shot years ago, but unfortunately, I cleared the memory card prior to downloading the files. I'm sure this one turned out better than the one from before.
