Things aren't going so well for the company that leased Chicago's parking meters. Every single meter on this block of Damen is broken, and has been broken since a week after they put them up.
Using Godaddy, free hosting, and Wordpress is an epic fail. Wordpress page edit auto-saves and does not refresh, but my godaddy ads thought it did. A good 5 scrolls and you can actually get to your content!
some snowboarders failed to park their jeep correctly - instead got it stuck in the snow and pretty sure the rear axle was broken...
Here I go again. Over they years I have attempted, sometimes completed, sometimes failed the 365days challenge. Some years I was up to date and posted to the group regularly, some years like 2020, my pictures lived on my hard drive for over a year before I did anything with them.
2021 was a bad year for me photographically. I put the camera down and really didn't pick it up since recently. That is what this picture represents, blowing the dust off of my camera because it has been sitting for so long. Last year all I did was work, 12hr days were normal, 16hr days were common and 80 to 90+ weeks were not unheard of. Because of that I stopped everything. This year I refuse to do that, I need to focus on myself.
Realistically that is why I am doing this project again, and this year I want to add these notes along with them. In years past... In some of the worst years of my life, this project was therapy for me. It is something to focus on, it is a way to check on myself and a way to keep track of what I do.
I hope to be able to do the full 365 this year, as usual there may be days I will miss, and some of the photos might get a bit drab, but I feel like I need this in 2022.
Rolleiflex SL26 camera
Fakmatic 35mm to 126 Adapter / Eastman Hi-Con 2369
The task was to see if I could get the Fakmatic adapter to work in the Rollei SL26. Mission accomplised by clipping a sprocket to make a larger rectangular sprocket so that the camera would sense it and reset the shutter. It worked...but I grossly fogged the film by thinking it was orthochromatic and loading it with a red safety light! Back to the drawing board!

One can easily see the 5.76 price drop & have no excuse this is the "volume bar". The volume bar is never ever rendered as a thin black line. Ever.
After speaking to the Signalman at Kirkby Stephen regarding Freight workings over the S&C on this day I visited the line, he informed me that a southbound coal train had failed at Waitby.
Here at Waitby LoadHaul liveried 60025 sits with its failed train.

How this woman put her brand new minivan halfway over a parking lot embankment is a total mystery. It wasn't raining, there are no sharp turns and the speed limit is about 10mph.
My friend and I theorized she must have mistaken the gas and the brake pedals. Cars can be confusing like that.
The Vibram Five Fingers seem to lose traction when wet. Might have been because mine were already quite worn.
It was "Dam Day" (not damn day) at Castlewood Canyon State Park. Sometime in the 1930s this dam failed and flooded downtown Denver, about 30-miles North, killing 8-people.
One of my other nature haunts is Cherry Creek State Park, about 15-miles downstream from this site, where they built a replacement dam and a much larger reservoir. Cherry Creek, a name used all around Denver, is the water source.

Another from this spring's fox series....we sat and watched this family for a couple hours late one afternoon from a safe distance so as not to disturb them. I believe this was papa returning from a food finding mission, empty handed. Such beautiful mammals and so interesting to watch their behaviors and family dynamics.

for FGR: failed photographers' club
'cause
a. I'm using my p&s (I failed to use my good camera)
b. my suitcase-cum-tripod is in the way of the shot
c. I'm too busy failing at cleaning my apartment to take a decent picture!
d. I failed to upload in a timely manner
I'm moving stuff around... I'm at the phase where it looks worse before it looks better. At least I HOPE that's what's happening!
Hoping to catch Alton & Southern's newly painted #2205, I dashed down to a spot I previously wanted to shoot at on Chouteau Av near the riverfront in St Louis. By the time I got there, the #2205 had already wyed and returned to the yard. In the meantime, I was able to catch Amtrak wyeing their train after arriving from Chicago. So not a complete failure. All the iron/steel are the supports for the Terminal Railroad's Mac Arthur Bridge across the Mississippi River which is a few hundred feet to the right.
One day a couple months back, I decided to build a stagecoach. I have no idea why, it was just this sudden urge out of nowhere.
I started out with an interior that could comfortably fit four passengers, and then quickly found out why I'd never seen a really good Lego stagecoach -- Lego doesn't make a wagon wheel big enough. I had to scale it down. And scale it down again. And again.
Stagecoaches had huge wheels. My stagecoach, here shrunken to the point that it only fits two passengers, and the driver and guy riding shotgun can't sit side by side like they're supposed to, and sacrificing amenities like a door, is still too big for its wheels. Very annoying. Lego Group, while you're resurrecting and rehashing old product lines, bring back the Wild West and give us some properly large wagon wheels!
So anyway, I've been staring at this thing for a few months now, wondering whether it's worth it to build the diorama around it that I'd intended -- a little canyon, with some bandits in ambush -- and I've decided no. Screw it.
