I'm building a blog post devoted to photos taken exclusively on smartphones and ran across this photo of mine from 4-19-2019. Shot on #iPhoneX #photography #iphonetography #TrainView #OceanView #CoastalTrain #PacificOcean #TravelPhotography #surfliner #LifeguardTower #BeachDay #CaliforniaCoast

A view from inside a train or passenger car looking out a window. The window frames a misty view of the Pacific Ocean with waves crashing onto a sandy beach. A small, distinctive lifeguard tower is visible on the sand. The interior has four empty, patterned seats facing each other across the window, and an "EMERGENCY EXIT" sign is centered above the window.

A weathered wooden shack with a porch sits on a lush green hillside under a heavily vignetted blue sky with some puffy white clouds. The entire scene is slightly distorted by a ripple effect, as the image was taken from the reflecting surface of a pond.

The night the holler caught on fire. 11-26-2012. Shot on #iPhone5 #rowe #virginia #blackandwhitephotography #iphoneography #phonetography #photography #forestfire #fire #smoke #rural #smoky #blackandwhite #bnw #mobilephotography #forest #roadsideshots #mountains #appalachia

A grainy low-light photo taken at dusk showing a dark and heavily forested hillside as it slopes down to a small valley. A line of fire snakes through the frame and the middle of the hillside as clouds of smoke billow up in to the sky. A few houses with small patches of light are visible in the valley below the hill. A guardrail is prominent in the foreground.

I couldn't decide between Color or Black and white, so you get to see both. Shot on #x100vi #scarbro #westvirginia #airstream #photography #roadsideshots #fujifilm #abandoned #abandonedplaces #haunted #store #market #abandonedamerica

A photo of a vintage Airstream-style trailer parked in a grassy area in front of a small, single-story cinder block building that used to be a roadside market store. The building has a striped red, white, and blue metal roof and is surrounded by overgrown vegetation, with a line of trees in the background.

Classical music was playing from inside the Airstream or the building. I didn't stick around long enough to find out exactly where. Shot on #x100vi #scarbro #westvirginia #airstream #photography #blackandwhitephotography #monochrome #roadsideshots #fujifilm #abandoned #abandonedplaces #haunted

A black and white photo of a vintage Airstream-style trailer parked in a grassy area in front of a small, single-story cinder block building that used to be a roadside market store. The building has a striped metal roof and is surrounded by overgrown vegetation, with a line of trees in the background that barely lets the sky peak through.

I can’t help but wonder - when was the last time someone walked out that door for the last time? Shot on #5dmkII #virginia #photography #blackandwhitephotography #urbandecay #abandonedplaces #abandonedporn #ruraldecay #rusticcharm #exploringwithacamera #haunted #rural #trailer

Black and white photo of an abandoned trailer with a rusted metal door hanging open. The window beside it is shattered, and tall dry weeds grow in front. The inside is dark and empty, revealing wooden slats and shadows beyond the doorway. The structure’s corrugated metal siding is weathered and peeling.

My posts so far have all been black and white images, but I swear I also take color photos. Shot on #a7riv #sonya7riv

Three small, bright green parrots are perched on black electrical wires against a blue sky with wispy white clouds. On the lower wire, two parrots are huddled close together, touching beaks in a moment that resembles a kiss. A third, solitary parrot sits on a higher wire further in the background, looking on.

When I say you can find me down at the bar, I mean the donut bar. Shot on #X100VI #Beckley #WestVirginia

A black and white photograph of a person from the waist down, sitting on a chrome stool at a diner counter. To their left and right, other empty, identical stools create a repeating pattern. The person is wearing dark jeans and high-top sneakers, and the vintage-style stools show signs of wear.

Zach Bryan the type of guy that can make a country song sound like a combo of Modest Mouse and Bon Iver, and that’s a sincere compliment.

A moody, black and white photo taken from behind a person sitting on a bench on a wooden pier at night. The person wears a hoodie and faces away into the darkness. The scene is illuminated by a single, bright streetlight on the left, its beam cutting through dense fog and casting long shadows.

This photo sat on my hard drive for 14 years before I stumbled upon it again. See why, and the straight out of camera image on my blog.

A black and white street photograph of an older model, dark-colored pickup truck on a city street. A man is sitting in the driver's seat, visible through the side window. In the background is a building with large, multi-paned windows. The shot is framed by out-of-focus silhouettes in the foreground, creating a sense of depth and a candid moment.

Black and white photo of two people walking at an outdoor market. In the foreground, a person wearing jeans has a handgun holstered at their hip and a thick wallet sticking out of their back pocket. A sign in the background reads ‘Beware of the Wiggle Butts'.

Oh, how I miss OB. Shot on #5dmkii #oceanbeach #sandiego #california #surfers #streetphotography #photography #blackandwhite #streetportrait #photographersofbluesky #monochrome

Black and white street photograph of three people, two carrying surfboards on a sunny day. In the midground, a muscular, tattooed man with a backpack walks toward the left of the frame, sunlight glinting off his head and shadows dappling on his surfboard. Behind him, a bearded man in sunglasses drifts in and out of shadow, and in the foreground a boy in a cap strains with arms raised to support the surfboard he is holding above his head. Palm trees, cars, and storefronts frame the lively coastal scene, evoking the energy of a beach town afternoon.

Hello, World! My name is Jon & I'm a fine art photographer that is currently based in Dayton, Ohio. #Firstpost Shot on #a7riv #sonya7riv #sandiego #california #photography #bnwphotography #monochrome #streetphotography #minimalism #fishing #leadinglines #composition #ocean #bridge #fineart

A high-angle, black and white photograph taken from a bridge showing a vast expanse of dark, rippling water. In the upper right, a small boat with fishermen in it creates a sense of scale and solitude. The blurred railing of a bridge dominates the left foreground, its repeating pattern and shadow leading the viewer's eye into the scene.
