Fog and Kansas City's Broadway Bridge

The morning of February 16, 2011 was very foggy - it cleared in Kansas City around midday, but before then I had toured the Downtown looking for photographic opportunities. The fog  turned a photo of a fairly 'basic' but functional bridge across the Missouri River into something more memorable.

The original shot shown on the left shows the power of photo cropping to give the illusion of the photographer standing in a completely different location. I think that converting the image to black and white was another improvement.

I also took this shot. I waited in vain for a train to come, but the shape of the tree and its location is interesting.


You will also be able to view a larger version of this photo by going to the same album that contains the photo of the Bridge and selecting image 12.

Images of the MidWest - New Website

I have opened a new site designed so that its images will work and display conveniently on an Apple Iphone or Ipad as well as on the Web. Its dimensions fit inside an Iphone or Ipad's window, and the code does not include any files written in Flash.

The site will contain a small selection of my photos taken in Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, and, perhaps, other states in the MidWest of the United States, and will change from time to time. Changes will be announced on this blog.

This is the link to the site: www.imagesmidwest.com. Please visit and enjoy. 

Currently the site contains small albums of images of the Missouri River, a tractor, barns and old rural homes, landscapes, Kansas City, and my own peculiar selections of life's little details found while traveling in the area.
