"The slide rule is a mechanical analog computer. The slide rule is used primarily for multiplication and division, and also for functions such as roots, logarithms and trigonometry, but is not normally used for addition or subtraction."

This was my father's when he was a young man, younger than what I am now. He's a mechanical engineer and I found this back home in the Philippines when we came home back in March. My brother has his Ping Pong paddle that is older than both of us and I wanted something as old if not older. So here's his slide rule...and I don't know how to use it...YET. Ha!
This is one of the very oldest "transparencies" in my collection. It was actually shot way back in 1952 by my Dad. This is his 1951 Studebaker Commander "Starlight" Coupe. It featured an unconventional "bullet-nose" design and Studebaker's "glass all-around" panoramic rear view windows. Mom, Dad and I moved to Los Angeles from St. Louis in late 1950. We drove to L.A. in this Studebaker. Two years later my grandfather, Mom's father, became severely ill and she wanted to be with him at that time. So we drove back to St. Louis from L.A. in this Studebaker. This shot was taken after we returned, and you can still see the California license plate on the front bumper. For a variety of reasons we ended up staying in St. Louis after that. This slide had some strong "staining" and the color had faded quite a bit. So I thought it was a good candidate for some creative effects. The car color was yellow and the wheels were a dark red shade. I was so young I really don't remember this car at all. But I know for sure that I did go for a "ride" in it from St. Louis to Los Angeles and back so many years ago. . .

For Sliders Sunday
From an engagement session at an orchard in NJ. When I took this, and uploaded it, you could not see the clouds at all, so I saturated the sky, and slid the Light way down. I upped the vibrance on the whole thing, and voila! Sllllliiiidddd.
Below is a shot from the session, that I love. We had a great day.
I had a rough day yesterday, and so did a few friends, so today I'm determined to turn it around,and make the best of my day.
HSS!!!
