Floss Like You Mean It
#blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Don't know why I took this picture; maybe it was my fascination with the countertop...

Extreme Morning Light #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrastTook this on my way to catch the train one morning. I really like the contrast going on here.

Absolute Contrast 409

Ah, Nuts #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrastI know I have a similar picture in this blog of one of these, but that one was in Provo, and this one's in Salt Lake. I think these things are so cool.

Cornering #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Thought that this was an interesting subject. Contemporary looking lamp on a marble table.

Absolute Contrast 407

The Mighty Tower One #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrastI think this is one of the coolest pics I have taken. I think that the cloud reflection in the lower set of windows is awesome. And the coloring of the stone...wow.

Absolute Contrast 406

Merging Lines #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrastI don't know what it is about lines and textures, but I think they are fascinating.

Absolute Contrast 405

Pipe Dream #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I took this picture because it reminded of that really old school screen saver where there were a bunch of pipes going around and around. Anyone remember that one?

Absolute Contrast 404

Camouflage #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

While resting comfortably on a neighbors lawn the other day, I got this picture of a small weed. Funny how well it blends in with the grass.

Absolute Contrast 403

Hang In There #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

While riding into work, I thought I'd get a picture of the handrails. It's never been busy enough to actually warrant using these, thank goodness.

Absolute Contrast 402

Life Lines #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Thought this was a pretty cool looking shot, with all the lines and patterns. Very uniform yet free thinking at the same time.

Absolute Contrast 401

The Butt End #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I have a whole new world of picture taking opportunities now that I am working in downtown Salt Lake. This one is a cigarette butt on the grate where I sat waiting for the train.

Mmm...Cookie... #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Some of the things I like to take pictures of are my kids toys. I like the contrast of this one against the carpet.

The Funny Thing Is... #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Actually, I have no real idea why I even took this picture. It looked a lot cooler in my mind than it did when I took the picture. Oh, well...

Salt Dough Pachyderm #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I made this little salt dough pachyderm maybe a year or so ago, and ever since, I have kept is as part of my little trinket collection.

Makin' it Hot #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

In my opinion, eggs make for an awesome breakfast. But, eggs without tabasco sauce or ketchup aren't as good as with it.

Absolute Contrast 396

Wrought Iron #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Taken the same day as the last image. The detail on this one is pretty cool, with only certain areas of really strong contrast.

Absolute Contrast 395

Three of the Four Sides #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Took this lovely pic of part of a gate the other day. Very cool. I especially like the plants and the partial vine on the base of the spear.

Absolute Contrast 394

Way Up There #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Thought this was a pretty cool place to take a picture. I mentally bookmarked it so I would remember to get it. There is quite a lot going on in this photo.

Absolute Contrast 393

See Dick Cross the Street #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Not sure why I took this picture; there's just something comical about the way this guy looks—like he's walking into 40 mile per hour winds.

Absolute Contrast 392

Up and Down with Otis #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Ever paid attention to the gap between the solid floor and the steel box being held off the ground by metal cables (a.k.a. the elevator)? I took notice just the other day.

Absolute Contrast 391

The Lost Muppet #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Not 100% of the title on this one, but then again, it really doesn't matter. It could be called a handful of things.

MC Escher Photo #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Taken at the Utah State Capitol, this really reminded me of something that would have come from the mind of Escher.

Absolute Contrast 389

Nature Fingers #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Now this is a shot that I really like. There are just certain things around the house that can make for very interesting photos—in this case, a vase full of squiggly sticks.

Nightstand Alibi #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Woke up the other morning and the light was hitting my nightstand, and the things on it, just right. Ah, mornings.

Absolute Contrast 387

Hair Clip on Denim #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Thought this would make a cool contrast of textures, and what do you know, it does. I love the subtle highlights on the edge of the clip where the light catches it. Pretty cool.

Absolute Contrast 386

Mmm...Pizza #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Sometimes there's nothing like a good slice of pizza, no matter where you get it from. Personally, I like pizza from The Pie, but more often than naught, I have to settle for something faster and cheaper.

Nothing But Net #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Shot this the other day at a family dinner. This is the basketball hoop that I grew up with. I love the crazy trees behind it.

Absolute Contrast 384

The Letter E (series) #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I happened to be eating some pretzels when I looked at one before I ate it, and look what I found. It could easily be a W or an M, but let's face it, the letter E is far better than those.

Cold Winter Angles #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

I think winter is a great backdrop for photography, especially the black and white kind. There is such depth and character in each image. It's like a piece of history, frozen in time; unmoving, almost lifeless—like Mother Nature in a self-induced coma.

Blustery Winter Day #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Winter is a different kind of animal. Some people like it, some people hate it. As long as I don't have to spend a lot of time outside in it, I can manage. I took this as I left one of my son's Jr. Jazz basketball games. Brr...

Ashtray Treasures #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

Anyone with kids knows that no matter what, eventually one or more of their toys will migrate to the family vehicle. Depending on the amount of children you have, this could be as simple as a car or small doll. In my case, it's like freaking Noah's ark for toys.

Star Light, Star Bright #blackandwhite #iphoneography #absolutecontrast

This is a decorative piece in our house. It caught my eye the other day and I'm glad it did. Just look at the detail. Awesome.
