Thanks for the encouragement! I haven't got all my creative juices flowing again yet, but just being out walking with the camera in hand again has been good for the overall mood 😊
A low-angle, black and white photograph captures the imposing facade of a large, multi-story stone building. The building appears to be constructed from rough-hewn, rectangular blocks, giving it a sturdy, aged appearance. Numerous windows, mostly rectangular with some featuring arched tops, are symmetrically arranged across the different levels. Prominently displayed in large, light-colored block letters across the mid-section of the building is the word "PILLSBURY." Below this, at the very bottom of the frame, a distinct, large white "A" graphic, with a triangular base and upward-pointing apex, is visible, partially obscured by the bottom edge of the image. The sky above is cloudy, adding to the dramatic and slightly somber feel of the monochrome image. The perspective emphasizes the height and solidity of the structure.
The Pillsbury A Mill building in #Minneapolis. I think this building is so cool lookin' and always spend time staring at it when I'm nearby.

A high-contrast, black and white street photograph shows a dark, motion-blurred car driving from right to left. The car is largely silhouetted, but its wheels show some detail and blur. Above and behind the car, bright sunlight illuminates a modern building with multiple rectangular windows, creating sharp shadows. Part of the building is in deep shadow, while another section is brightly lit, emphasizing the strong light and shadow play. The building appears to be made of concrete or light-colored stone. In the background, another building with balconies is partially visible.
Every now and then, I like to take photos that didn't turn out as planned and have fun with some odd editing. I like to call them "goofy edits". I haven't done one in a while but decided to give it a go with this one.

That's the hope! Gotta get out and breathe the fresh air ☺️
A black and white, full shot captures two people walking on a sidewalk beside a large, textured building. The building, constructed from large, light-colored blocks, takes up most of the frame on the right and center. Shadows are cast across its surface from unseen objects, creating a dynamic play of light and dark. A tall, leafy tree stands prominently in the center-left, with its branches extending towards the building, also casting a shadow. To its right, a smaller, younger tree is visible near a street sign. The two individuals are walking from left to right in the lower center, dressed in dark clothing, with their profiles partially visible. The sidewalk is clean, and the street in the foreground shows a blurred vehicle on the far left, suggesting movement.
Out for a walk.

Aww, those are cute! That's awesome to have that reminder from her always there for ya! 😊
This is actually from the beginning of May. I shoulda put that in the caption. One of the last pics I took before setting things down, just never got around to looking at them and editing. Glad ya like it 🙂
Oh, you're all good. I just watched that movie again yesterday, so totally got the reference 😁. I also use that line at times to keep myself going. I really do appreciate the encouragement 😊.
Thanks! Missed the community here, lots of great people! 😊
Thanks for the encouragement! 🙂
A black and white, full shot captures a man and a dog sitting on a grassy lawn. The man, positioned on the right, is seated cross-legged, strumming an acoustic guitar. He wears a dark baseball cap and glasses. To his left, the black dog sits with its tongue out, looking towards the left side of the frame. Bare trees dominate the background, with a few houses visible further back. Two other figures are faintly discernible in the distance. The sun casts shadows on the ground, indicating a bright day.
What a fun way to #GetOutside and spend some time. Music in the park with a fuzzy friend.

A photo looking up through a gap in the yellow-green tree canopy at a teal-blue sky with some clouds.
Perfect day to #GetOutside and soak in all the colors. I always like these little windows through the tree canopies.

Thank you 😊
It did feel nice, but I still kinda had to make myself do it. I'm not totally back in the groove, but know I need to do *something* other than sit on my bum all day, lol. But it really did feel good to get outside and at least try 🙂.
I'm sorry you're going through that. I hope that you're able to find some help that fits your needs. It took me many attempts before I found some help that actually worked for me. Sending good energy your way ☺️
Thanks. I wasn't able to do it on my own, I needed lots of help from loved ones and professionals, and there's still a long road ahead. You can do it too! Reach out to someone and talk about it. You're not alone in the battle, even if it might feel that way. 😊
Yeah, it took a bit of prodding for me to pick it up again, too. Prodding, therapy, and some new meds, lol.
I usually try for the art prompts and am planning on getting back into them. Tbh, I haven't even opened bsky for a long time, so I'll have to catch up on them all.
Thanks 😊
Not the greatest photo, but to me, it represents a small victory over the challenges of life.
A monochrome photo looks at a tall glass skyscraper next to a brick building. The angle is looking up from below. The sky is cloud-free, but there are clouds reflecting on the glass building.
After two months of depression and not touching my camera, I finally managed to drag myself out today. Mental health is important, take care of yourselves y'all.
#photography #art #nikon #streetphotography #urbanphotography #monochrome #architecture
Unfortunately, yeah. Been havin a rough go of it lately. Haven't even had the oomph to take the camera out of the bag for a while now.
Hey, #Minneapolis dog folk! Anyone wanting some doggy pictures tomorrow? I'm in the dumps and could use some time with a cute pup. Will compensate with all the pictures I can! Reach out here or via DMs and we can set something up!
A low-angle, wide shot captures the towering, reflective glass facade of a modern skyscraper against a vibrant teal sky dotted with wispy white clouds. The building's sharp vertical lines ascend towards a bright, hazy sun positioned behind another section of a contemporary building with horizontal, rectangular windows. An airplane is visible in the distance, flying high in the sky between the buildings. In the foreground, a traffic sign pole extends horizontally, displaying a blue sign with various transportation icons and a large white "GO" printed on it. The overall perspective emphasizes the height and scale of the architecture, contrasting the man-made structures with the natural sky.
Went out without grabbing my camera, silly me. Thakfully, #mobilephotography has come a long way, and I can still get decent shots. Downtown #Minneapolis, taken in RAW with a Samsung S22 Ultra.

A photo looking across a city street at a bright red building. In the foreground is the hood of a black car, reflecting the red of the building, and the blue of the sky. Across the street is a blue SUV. Walking mid step, framed in the red of the building, is a person in all black with their hands in their pocket. There is a sign on the building that says "Lyon's Pub" in yellow-gold writing, with a picture of a lion holding up a mug of beer
Lyon's Pub, #Minneapolis.

A monochrome photo of two people sitting on a metal bench in a city setting. The person on the right has a cigarette in their mouth, and is setting down a protest sign. The person on the left is putting a pack of cigarettes into their bag. In the background can be seen a crowd of protesters with a multitude of signs.
Taking a break from the #protest and sharing a smoke. Another from the #HandsOff protest on Friday in #Minneapolis.

A monochrome photo of the back a crowd of people carrying signs gathered at a protest. In the foreground of the photo is a person bent down, looking at the sidewalk in front of them. On the sidewalk there is writing in chalk that reads "HANDS OFF" and then a list including "judges, due process, social security, medicare, Medicaid, irs, immigrants, nih, vaccines..." and more that are obscured by the person bent over. One person in the crowd has an american flag that is upside down raised high above the crowd.
From a #HandsOff protest on Friday in front of the #Minneapolis Federal Courthouse. Finally got around to editing a couple up.

A monochrome photo of a person walking in front of a brick wall. The person is on the right side of the photo, walking to the left. The person is wearing dark jeans, a black hoodie with white stripes on the sleeve, the hood pulled up, and a dark beanie on. They have sunglasses, and dreads are sticking out from under the beanie. They have a bag over their shoulder
Out for a walk. Another for #UrbanGaze Thursday.

A black and white medium shot captures a person with short dark hair, a beard, and glasses standing on a city sidewalk. They are wearing a light-colored button-down shirt, a dark vest, and a belt. Their hands are in their pockets, and they appear to be looking down. Behind them, a street sign reads "Marquette Av" with an arrow pointing to the right, and another sign below indicates "NO RIGHT TURN" with a crossed-out right turn symbol. Buildings line the background, and another person is seen walking in the distance on the left side of the frame. The scene is brightly lit, casting shadows on the sidewalk.
No right turn. It's #UrbanGaze Thursday!

A low-angle, black and white photograph captures a cluster of modern high-rise buildings under a bright sky with scattered clouds. The tallest building dominates the right side of the frame, showcasing a repetitive pattern of numerous dark, rectangular windows framed by light-colored horizontal and vertical lines. To its left, a slightly shorter building exhibits a similar but less dense grid of windows. Further to the left, another tall structure with a more slender and vertically ribbed facade rises into the sky. In the foreground, the lower portions of these buildings are visible, emphasizing their height and the urban density. The overall perspective creates a sense of looking up at the towering architecture.
One more post for the day of downtown #Minneapolis buildings. Back in #monochrome land to finish the day off.
