Curtis Turner was one of the early pioneers of NASCAR Racing, Competiting against such greats as Junior Johnson, Glen "Fireball" Roberts, and Joe Weatherly. Born in Floyd County, Virginia, Curtis made his forturn in the timber and lumber business, and was famous for his hard living and hard driving. In 1960 he conceived and built a 1.5 mile speedway near Charlotte, North Carolina. The Charlotte Motor Speedway was deep in debt when it opened and soon after holding its first race, Curtis and the other investors lost the track. Under new ownership the speedway prospered and is today one of the premier tracks on the NASCAR Circuit. Throughout his career he found himself at odds with NASCAR's Founder and President William H. G. "Big Bill" France. The final straw came in the early 1960's when Curtis attempted to organize a drivers union. Even though his efforts failed, Curtis was banned from any form of NASCAR Racing. In 1965 NASCAR lifted the ban and Curtis returned to NASCAR Racing in the American 400 ath the North Carolina Motor Speedway, in Rockingham, North Carolina. Curtis showed that his hard driving style had not changed as he held off a young Cale Yarborough for his most lucrative victory. For the next few years Curtis was semi-retired, racing only when the price was right. He intended to race in the 1970 National 500 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, but on October 4, 1970, Curtis and golf professional Clarence King were killed in a plane crash near Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Curtis Turner is buried in the Blue Rigde Memorial Gardens in Roanoke, Virginia.
Perhaps inspired by this morning's majestic dawn chorus, this Greylag with an identity crisis seemed to be attempting to give the surrounding blackbirds, robins & song thrushes a run for their money. Its attempts at mellifluous singing ended up sounding like, well, a goose trying to sing: awful!
This is a temporary upload & will self-destruct whenever I get round to it. :)

Fisheye Convair B-58 Hustler, lost in the high desert. Night, full moon, purple and red Protomachines flashlight. About 15-minutes total exposure.
Class 47 No. 47828, passes Kempseye working the 1Z52 Shrewsbury - High Wycombe. This was scheduled to be 61306 'Mayflower' which unfortunately failed at Coton Hill.
I suppose failed is a bit of a harsh phrase as I have plans to redo this in the future, but I wanted to post this just to kinda have a marker for where it started

Late in the day, when the sun starts to descend, an apricot-pink plank of warmth applies itself to the covers and stretches itself to great lengths across the floor and out the door into the hall. But because of my expired film oddities, and desaturation, I once again have something which rather than feeling warm and cozy, appears to be a little spooky. Let’s just go with it: welcome to the haunted beach house. Sheesh.
High School Reunion project - shot in collaboration with Ron Nabity. Thanks to the students and instructor of Sacramento City College Photo 392 class for the awesome modeling work!
Strobist: Two AB800s in back of room for rim light. Gridded ABR800 just off-camera left for fill on "Failing Student", SB-26 camera right just outside frame to light "Smart Girl" in the second row, SB-26 in softbox camera right as key, 580 EX bounced off ceiling for general room light and fill.
After all, a two-storey server room, complete with glass floor, functional lighting and a claustrophobic hallway seems to be exactly the kind of challenge I wanted for making a scene.
14:52 Try again, fail again, fail better.
I recently bought a new variable ND filter. My first attempt to use it was a huge fail - extreme overexposure, extreme underexposure. This week I failed again, but I failed better. Set on aperture priority, I'm still underexposing and not getting the smoothing I'd like. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'll keep playing and I'm sure with a few more fails, I'll figure it out. Life's like that. :)

"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better."
Samuel Beckett
I first read this quote a few years ago. Being a bit slow on the up-take I wondered, 'why would anyone want to fail?'
I don't really know anything about Samuel Beckett or his work, but I know that he is right about embracing failure. Clever bugger.
el brasileño no lo cayó esta ves...

I had the day off yesterday and decided I was going to take some great pictures. I got out my tripod, my lenses and even the manual for camera. I decided to try to see things in a new way. I looked indoors and outdoors. I looked for bright colors and for patterns. I zoomed in for macros and zoomed out for scenery. I took still life shots and action shots. I looked for funny shots and original shots. After hours and hours and hundreds and hundreds of pictures I didn't end up with a single picture I like. So, instead of showing you one failure I decided to show you 16!
BTW, there's a picture in here that shows Mack getting much closer to a black squirrel than I thought was possible.
