Check photos on Flickr

Somewhere between my birthday and the lunar eclipse back in January, I had the emotional equivalent of the 'check engine' light in my car. And just like when it happens in the car, the light just pops on with no warning or even an indication that something is wrong. When it happens in the car, nothing is noticeably different. The car keeps driving; usually it's just a glitch with a sensor. Needs attention but not something to stop you in your tracks. This is much the way I began feeling. And the faulty sensor seemed to be the one that propels these flickr posts. The creative process didn't stop. I was still actively shooting; what failed me was the ability to post process. Don't think I realized until then the significance of post processing in my work. Not just the technical manipulation of the digital files, but more importantly the interpretive process that accompanies it. Don't get me wrong; the raw images gathered out in the field are the main fuel source for my creativity. But generally you would be shocked at just how lackluster the images really are straight out of camera. It's the post processing stage where the images are polished (often transformed) and usually where I begin to appreciate their significance. And it's somewhere in these later phases where the written narratives are born. Anyway for some weeks I felt unable to make any connections; the raw images remained raw. The narratives remained unwritten. Not sure what set this in motion. Maybe a degree of cabin fever, the sense of time passage brought on by another birthday. Underlying all of this is the sense of wanting to maintain the quality of the postings. Along with that was accepting defeat, at least for a while. I found getting out of the habit off nearly daily posts was as difficult as it was to get started in the first place. I love the challenge and find it stimulates creativity. I'm not sure anything really got resolved, but for me, simply having that timeout and reevaluation was good. Don't know where it goes from here, but I'm not going to over-think it either. Just go with what I know.

The Utata weekend project is about traditions. I'm not certain this counts as a tradition, but every morning -- and I mean EVERY morning -- before I start the coffee, before I feed the cat, the cat and I check the perimeter (which basically consists of standing at the back door and looking at the yard).

Bald Eagles interestingly almost always check there fish after a catch . Wonder why they can't tell that they are holding it?

John Mellencamp - Check It Out

I've wanted to stop and snap a few shots of this old barn for a long time, but it seems like every time I passed it I couldn't get to it.

Yesterday on my way home from the next town over I had my chance, the only thing was, I didn't have my camera.

It sits out in an agricultural field along a rural road that has no shoulder, but there is a break in the guard rail with access to a dirt road.... no trucks behind me, turn in!

I did.

I drove closer and got out to give it a quick look over and get my shots with a cell phone. A sign said it was under video surveillance so I didn't want to hang around to long.

I hope to get another chance to explore what was inside, looked interesting in there.

More shots coming soon.

Canyon Overlook Trail End, Zion NP 2014 by Don Graham

(1 in a multiple picture album)

One of the easier trails in Zion National Park is the Canyon Overlook Trail. You find the trail head at the parking lot on the east end of the tunnel on Utah Highway 9 (Mt. Carmel Road).

(Enlarge the picture and check out the windy road in the canyon below.) This is the view you will be rewarded with when you reach the end of the line.

On the horizon are many formations which have interesting names but my favorite is "The Altar of Sacrifice". You can spot it in the middle. It is the one with 'blood' running down the face of it.

Really like the new D850 but boy is it sensitive. For sharpness a tripod and remote trigger are mandatory.

See it for real, zoom in.

Check from My Scammer by Todd Lappin

2 16

Our Craigslist "Nigerian Dictator" scammer sent me his counterfeit check -- a whopping $2950 for a $200 loveseat.

The essence of this scam is that the scammer's check is a counterfeit. The scam is based on the assumption that I will cash the $2950 check, then refund the $2750 difference to the scammer via Moneygram *before* my bank identifies his check as a fake. In a few weeks, the bank would deduct the $2950 from my account balance after the check was deemed invalid, but the $2750 I sent to the scammer via the Moneygram would be gone forever.

Based on what I've read, the check is probably drawn from a real account, but the piece of paper itself is a fake. For that reason, I've blurred the account numbers in the image.
