Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Hot and /or Cold

_MG_5674 — Photos by Justine Taylor Photography

Here’s my entry for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Hot and/or Cold. I chose two photos for this challenge that, in my eyes, combine the concepts of hot and cold. This is Lake Ontario in late spring, when the last of the snow banks are finally melting and SUNY Oswego students are rejoicing because [for the most part] they don’t have to worry about snow or whiteouts anymore until next winter, and the temperatures are a generous amount above zero for the first time since November. So, maybe think of Katy Perry’s, “Hot N Cold” when you think of Oswego. 😀

Tuesday Photo Challenge: Old

Here is my entry for this week’s Tuesday Photo Challenge: Old. I picked this photo because the building on the right (Hewitt Hall/Union) is a gorgeous building at Oswego that is among the older ones on campus. It also used to be the student union (home to almost all of the student organizations on campus) before the Campus Center* was built in 2006 and became host to most student activities. This was one of my favorite buildings on campus.

*The Campus Center was renamed Marano Campus Center in 2014 due to a donation. However most students like myself who had already become set in their ways continued to call it the Campus Center.

Here is my entry for the 52 Weeks Photo Challenge: Week 36 – Simple Things. I decided to focus my entry on the beauty I have been discovering recently in things that a lot of people never think about (or look at.) Weeds! They are often right beneath our feet when we are walking on grass, and even though [some] might be pesky to gardeners, they really are quite gorgeous.

Here is my entry for this week’s One Word Photo Challenge with the theme of Frame. Two of these photos are ones that I love the actual framing of (the top photo of the sunset, which was taken with my iPhone, and the bottom photo which focuses on one of SUNY Oswego’s goalies.) The middle photo is both framed well, and actually encompasses an actual “frame” within the frame.

Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge: Random Rock

Here’s my stand-alone entry for this week’s edition of Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge. I love this photo, which is of an oddly placed cement block with a hole in the center on a path down to the shore of Lake Ontario.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Golden Hour

Photos taken by Justine Taylor Photography – iPhone

Here is my entry for this week’s edition of Nancy Merrill’s A Photo a Week Challenge, themed Golden Hour. Although these were taken on my iPhone and not with my DSLR (so the quality isn’t as good) these are still some of my favorite photos of the sunsets I saw on Lake Ontario while at SUNY Oswego.

Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge: Railroad

This is my entry for this week’s edition of Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge! This is one of my favorite photos, so I decided to use it alone for this week’s challenge!

Tuesday Photo Challenge: Street

A Street With a View Tree Shadows and Tree Remnants

Pretty Puddles — Photos by Justine Taylor Photography

Here is my entry for this week’s Tuesday Photo Challenge with the theme of Street. These are three different streets, in three different years (from top to bottom they were taken in 2017, 2016, and 2015 respectively), with three different appreciations of streets. The top photo has a beautiful cherry tree blooming next to it, so let’s call that one “A Street with a View.” The middle one I appreciate because it shows the presence of trees without showing the trees (the acorn shells strewn all over the street), but I also love shadows. (“Shadows and Remnants” is what I would title that one.) The last one brings together my childhood love of puddles with my current love of photography, fall, and nature (and of course any combination of the three!) We’ll call this one, “Pretty Puddles.”
