Bo-Bo the Metal Clown. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I have never understood peoples fear of clowns—personally, I could care less about them. This reminded me of one of those clowns.

It's a Jungle Out There. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Took this shot the other morning of the sun peeking through the trees. Definitely gives it the feeling of being in the midst of the jungle.

Bugs Eye View. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I like finding new and exciting ways to view certain situations or places. This one turned out really nice. I love how you can see the layering of elements.

Absolute Contrast 296

Got Planks of Wood? #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I took this standing on top of a fairly large pile of lumber. Amazing that a pile of lumber can be somewhat unsteady, and yet add a few nails and it can be as sturdy as a rock.

Absolute Contrast 295

Silhouette of Utah. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Construction site, basement doorway and the setting sun equal a nice silhouette of Utah.

Absolute Contrast 294

Mmm... Peanut Butter Cookies. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast
Came home from work the other day to find out that Heather had made peanut butter cookies. Mmmm, some of my favorite kind.

Absolute Contrast 293

The Land of Rewes Is a Magical Realm. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I thought this picture was going to turn out much cooler than it did. Oh, well. I guess that's what I get for shooting in the shade.

Peaceful Morning Moments. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Summer mornings come early at my house, but every once in a while we actually get to sleep in. Well, those us who don't need to get up and go to work.

Absolute Contrast 291

The Letter O. (series) #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I thought I'd go the "army stencil" way for the letter O. The other way seemed just a little too easy.

Absolute Contrast 290

Long Morning Shadow. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Morning time shadows make for great photo moments—but can be tricky, especially when shooting into the sun.

Absolute Contrast 289

Dusty Trails. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Took this while driving to work. There is major summer construction going on all over the city, and state, for that matter. Lots and lots of dust.

Absolute Contrast 288

Oh Tiny Tannenbaum. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Whoever came up with these little air fresheners is a genius—all except for the ones that smell like pine. Not a fan of those ones.

Absolute Contrast 287

Bone and Rock Crushing Teeth. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

This is seriously a mean looking piece of construction equipment—I definitely wouldn't want to mess with the business end of this.

Absolute Contrast 286

Now That's a Big Nail. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Construction sites offer a myriad of photo opportunities. I came across this nail and snapped the picture, and then picked it up and took it home with me.

Absolute Contrast 285

Rocks Rocks and More Rocks. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I don't know what it is about these rocks, but they were just really appealing to me, so I took a picture.

Absolute Contrast 284

Detail in Nature. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I love the different shapes and shades of contrast in this picture. So many details. On a side note, if you are a fan of details, check out this illustration I did.

Absolute Contrast 283

Little Miss Polly Pocket. #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I caught Lyndie playing with her sister's Polly Pockets the other day and was able to get a shot of it. Such a little stinker.

Absolute Contrast 282

Scratches Equal Character. #blackandwhite #iphoneography

I took this picture of the bike rack outside my work the other day. What wonderful shadows and character metal can posses.

Absolute Contrast 281

The Number Seven. (series)#blackandwhite #iphoneography

Give yourself a minute and see if you can spot the number seven in this pic. Shouldn't be too hard.

Absolute Contrast 280

The Missing Link. #blackandwhite #iphoneography

Came across this the other morning on the corner. Not really sure what it is or what it fell off of, but I hope everything works out in the end.

Absolute Contrast 279

Sometimes I'm a Real Trailblazer. #blackandwhite #iphoneography

This is the first snail I have seen on the trail I take to work, so naturally, I had to stop and get a picture. Good thing he wasn't moving very fast.

Absolute Contrast 278

Amber Waves of Grain. #blackandwhite #iphoneography

The morning light caught this plant just right and I had to get a pic of it. Didn't turn out too bad.

Absolute Contrast 277

Wet Cement. #blackandwhite #iphoneography

The setting sun really allows for some great black and white photos. This is one of the corners of the new house we are building—they poured the cement that day.

Absolute Contrast 276

Summertime Lime. #blackandwhite #iphoneography

Here's a picture of my oldest. She is crazy about limes. When we go to the grocery store, we buy her some. She considers the "dessert".

Absolute Contrast 275

Got Rebar? #blackandwhite #iphoneography

Took this shot after viewing the fairly large hole in the ground where our new house is being built. Amazing that there are so many critical things in life (like rebar) that we take for granted.

Absolute Contrast 274

Through the Looking Glass. #blackandwhite #iphoneography

You might have to look close at this picture to really see what's going on. Let me know if you don't get it.

Absolute Contrast 273

Life Lessons. #blackandwhite #iphoneography

Sometimes success isn't measured on where you start on the "ladder of life", but has more to do with the determination and will to make the most of your situation.

Absolute Contrast 272

The Hills Are Alive. #blackandwhite #iphoneography

Well, this isn't a shot of the hills of Austria, but it is a nice image of a small patch of heaven. There were fields of these beautiful flowers.

Absolute Contrast 271

In the Shadow of Area 51. #blackandwhite #iphoneography

I took this picture the other day when I went to see The Last Airbender (click to read my review) with my family. Lyndie, my youngest (4), wanted to ride on my shoulders. Perfect looking alien shadow, huh?

Absolute Contrast 270

Don't Tread on Me. Seriously. Don't. I thought the title is fitting of the picture, seeing as the monster that these treads belong to weighs a ton (or more). #blackandwhite #iphoneography

Absolute Contrast 269

Got Dirt? This was a part of the backhoe that was sitting on where our new house is being built. Lots and lots and lots of dirt.

Absolute Contrast 268

Small Cart, Big 6-Year Old. We took our kids to The Quilted Bear the other day—mistake number one. That store has way too many things for them to touch. The rule was, if you touch something and don't listen, you have to sit in the cart. Not two minutes into the store, and Logan, my 6-year old, was in the cart. Problem is, the carts there are miniature. He wasn't happy.

Absolute Contrast 267

Smoke Bombs For Everyone. We started the Independence Day celebrations with smoke bombs and pop-its. After we got done with the smoke bombs, I saw an opportunity for a cool photo. Logan helped out by standing at the end of the line.

Absolute Contrast 266

My Weapon of Choice (For Today). You've probably seen this guy before. He belongs to my Fantastic Four. Sometimes all the will suffice is a good old pen.

Absolute Contrast 265

Along For the Ride. Check this out! I found this baby dragonfly on the path one morning, just chillin' in the shade. I picked him up (he really didn't have a choice, seeing as he was cold) and took him with me the rest of the way to work. Check out the detail in his wings!

Absolute Contrast 264

The Letter T. (series) Not much to say about this one, it's pretty straight forward. If I can mix it up a little, I might try and find upper and lower case.

Absolute Contrast 263

The Letter I. (series) I have decided to look for shapes that make letters—not full time or anything hardcore, just when they present themselves. I am going to try and avoid taking shots of actual letters—but there are always exceptions to rules.

Absolute Contrast 262

Wee Little Mushroom. I love this shot—probably one of my favorites. This mushroom was so small and was just able to peek over the top of the grass around it.
