Photowalks

Intricately designed wrought iron gate

Student taking a selfie of himself

The above two photos were taken on July 30, 2014, on my first photo safari with my colleagues.

The next 4 were taken on January 16, 2015 with my new colleagues, Emma and Max, with Tom leading. All photos were taken using my Samsung Galaxy phone.

An ornamental chair that looks like a throne in front of doors

I find this throne-like chair that is blocking the doorway curious.

Winter tree, withered and leafless, in front of a building

I have a penchant for snapping pictures of trees — blooming, withered, snarling. They are easily symbols of life and death.

House numbers 1005 and 1007

Architecture is another fave subject. “Don’t they all look the same after a while?” my husband asks. Not really.

Spire

I could have shifted myself so that the little bit of another building would be out of the picture. But I find imperfection in photos sometimes rather peculiarly endearing and real. I’ve added another painted layer over the original photo to make it more imperfect, :-P.

New Faculty Academy Jan 9, 2015

Stan and I were there with Tom. I was happy to find that several participants found ALT Lab’s services interesting despite the food distraction.

Floyd Avenue, Richmond, Virginia. Rows of old Victorian houses

I saw with fresh eyes how lovely these houses were to the left of the building where I work. New eyes are good.
