What a weekend to leave my primary cameras at work.
3D Photo (you'll need red/cyan glasses).
This drunk driver side swiped a truck on Ellwood Avenue tonight and injured a girl getting out of the parked vehicle. After the impact, the driver just sat silent in her car until paramedics arrived and asked her questions. She then straightened her wig and went away on a stretcher. I've seen it around town before, only because the license plate stands out (I have not photographed it before). I heard the impact from my town house.
As for her victim, she was not bleeding and could move all her limbs; however, she was in shock and thought a pool of anti-freeze was blood. A nurse who lives in another townhouse next to the accident attended to her before the ambulance arrived.
I thought the "pick up this journal using anything other than your hands" was stupid in the wreck this journal, so I painted over it and covered the page in counterfeit MAC Pigment and packing tape.
Just around the corner, we stumbled into the clothing optional area.
Also me trying to make photo look professional!!!
A local tipped us off to this Car Wreck Canyon, where the town used to dump their old vehicles (now antiques!)
Back of funnel page with paper plane stuck back in!
And the wrap something with this page(in progress.. Just patterning the wrapping paper!)
Going outside on a walk, thinking I'd take some half-ass nature pics, I stumbled over this completely burnt-out wreck of an old car. Best birthday present ever :)
TriX and Rodinal... I'm going to have to start buying this stuff in bulk!
A rare day off but the weather wasnt great so had to still get out. The old saying bad light black and white. Decided to go along the coast from Downpatrick to Strangford to see whattook my fancy
On the rear of this westbound CSX manifest freight passing through Berea was an unusual sight. As best I could tell these five Metro North passenger cars were involved in the derailment on Dec. 1, 2013, at Spuyten Duyvil in New York City. The cars have obvious wreck damage and were being shipped minus their wheels.

I didn't see this happen, but this was not long after. The car was filled with smoke, and it billowed out when (I assume) the driver came over to get something out of her car. I cannot believe the astounding number of accidents that happen in this city, nor the irresponsible drivers that cause them. I have seen so many near misses, and read about so many wrecks - it makes me sick to my stomach. Thankfully, it seems the guy who got hit by her will live; but before plowing into him she hit another car and a pickup. What a lovely way to start the morning, eh?
eta: Below is the account of the accident from the scooter driver's own words (found in the comments section of the story)
Hi all, Ace here the scooter driver. typing with one hand here from the billings clinic. I first want to thank all of the first responders at the scene. I would like to especially thank the off-duty firefighter Ryan who was at my side less than 30 seconds after the crash. In addition I'd also like to thank the EMS Eric and his driver Travis?? who were both at the scene within 5 minutes. Also the excellent medical care here at Billings Clinic. I credit the wearing of my helmet, leather jacket, leather gloves, and long pants with staving off any additional injuries.
I respect other riders choice not to wear helmets; but as my cousin always told me: When you ride a motorcycle its not a question of if you'll get into an accident, its when and how bad. I urge all riders to consider wearing a helmet no matter how far or close to your destination you are, you never know when something like this could happen to you. I was driving to work, something I had done numerous times before, and was a ride I felt I 'knew'.
I feel got off lucky beyond some broken bones it doesn't appear that I've suffered any internal or mental injuries (crossing my fingers that can right now) Its going to be a long road to recovery, and I am grateful that I work for a company who has already visited me in the hospital several times. I do not believe I could have done anything to try and swerve out of the way; I remember the accident in its entirety from the girl coming through the middle of the east bound lane to her richeting off the truck in the right lane into the left east bound lane I was in. Hitting me head on, going over the handle bars, hitting the windshield and rolling off onto the pavement. I am thankful that I was not paralysed or run over by any cars behind me. The whole thing probably occurred in less than 3 seconds but it felt like time was moving in slow motion.
It is unfortunate that this girl will have to learn the lesson of not driving distracted in this manner at the cost of shiny metal rods in both my legs and arms. This is definitely an experience I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
The Plaxton 4000, built on Neoplan subframes was a awesome beast but on beset with issues mostly fires, This Jan 89 shot shows a three year old one reduced to a wreck at Stagecoach Walnut Grove Perth, on ething for sure its passenger carring days were over.

Made some minor improvements to Wreck-Gar. His front wheel can be removed off the shoulder and attaches to his forearm (shield) Also added lots of spikes, rust and damage.
I had worked second trick (4p-12m) in Florence and was at home asleep when the phone rang about 5 a.m. The supervisor in Savannah. How quick can you get to Lugoff? 82 is on the ground with fatalities. Go in through the DuPont plant. Oh yeah, one more thing, do you have a camera? The sun was just coming up when I got there...
