Young person on the move on Lawrence today. She had a friend with her, and they navigated the traffic and the freshly oiled road like I remember doing when I was a kid. Honestly today i just stood there on the sidewalk with my bike wondering if I was going to be able to get home. Because of the heat and fumes.
This has been a summer of smells. First there was the dead opossum under the porch, then the Canadian smoke, now there's fresh road oil. The only thing left is fish. Maybe a tuna will beach itself on my lawn.
Abandoned Paint and Body shop in an old pre-mid 1970s repurposed service station on US-180. Love the sign.

The tell-tale signs as to the heritage of P&W SD40M-2 No. 3052 (ex-SSW SD45 9153) are obvious as it rests in between assignments in a light rain.
About 45 minutes after sunset, one day before the solstice. An early sunset, state workers still in their offices so windows, and the capitol building, well lit. The Hudson River still flowing, but the 8 second exposure blends tones so it looks frozen. Only 14°F.
This image has a very wide 'scene dynamic range'. The histogram had a very tall, sharp peak at the right due to intense street lighting, and a large, broad peak at the left. But the street lights will always be blown out; to get the shadow areas into proper range, the exposure only needed one stop over that recommended by the camera's matrix metering to bring up the shadows.
For this type of image, the exposure rule is 'expose to the left', just the opposite of the usual 'expose to the right'.

Nick and Samantha’s wedding plans and dreams were severely buffeted by Coronavirus, especially with a large contingent of international guests. We followed and aided each turn of their scheduling and re-scheduling, and were happy that we could step in to help on a downsized backyard #zoomwedding on their original date, with a party to come later.
Ryan first met Nick when he photographed his friend Missy’s wedding more than 12 years ago — and amazingly he’s followed our work ever since, so it was an absolute honor to spend time with their close friends and family.
We’ve seen a lot of Zoom weddings this year, but it’s usually just the guests who tune in remotely — Nick and Samantha went the extra mile, having their officiant perform the wedding via Zoom!
This wedding reminded us that no matter what happens to original wedding plans in 2020 or 2021, there is no downsizing of the emotion and devotion that saturate wedding days.
