Packard Series II
The Packard Motor Car Company was an American luxury automobile company. It was founded in Warren Ohio as the Ohio Automobile Company by James Ward Packard, his brother William, and their partner, George Lewis Weiss. The first car rolled out of the factory on November 6, 1899.
Packard’s cars were considered the preeminent luxury car before World War II, and owning a Packard was prestigious. Henry Bourne Joy, a member of one of Detroit's oldest and wealthiest families, bought a Packard. Impressed by its reliability, he brought together a group of investors to refinance the company, soon after which Packard moved its operations to Detroit.
In 1953 (or 1954, depending on your source), Packard bought rival Studebaker and formed the Studebaker-Packard Corporation of South Bend, Indiana. Some historians believe that this was the beginning of the end of the company. It was certainly followed by a series of circumstances and events that ultimately led to the end of the company in 1962.
This series of photographs was taken at America’s Packard Museum in Dayton, Ohio. The Museum is a restored Packard dealership transformed into a museum that displays twentieth-century classic Packards and historic Packard artifacts and memorabilia.
The dealership originally sold Packards in Dayton, Ohio beginning in 1908. It moved into the building that is now home to the museum in 1917. Robert Signom II, the museum's Founder and Curator for 27 years, acquired the building in 1991 and painstakingly rehabilitated it to its original Art Deco grandeur, opening the museum in 1992.
Car Collector magazine named the museum one of the top ten automotive museums in the United States. The cars on display range from 1900s Brass Era cars, the streamlined Classic cars of the 1930s and 1940s, to the modern Packards of the 1950s. The museum also has a collection of war machines, parts, accessories, and original sales and service literature.

This is the last of the Packard Series for now. There are many other cars yet to be covered there, but I find myself itching to move on to other subjects.

We all get busy during the hectic holiday season, but please let's not forget those less fortunate than we are. Too many people are having trouble keeping themselves and their families fed.
I've been there. It's hard.
Give what you can to the disadvantaged in your community and elsewhere. Every little bit makes a difference.
One way to do this is through the Little Free Pantries. Little Free Pantries are a resource from which to receive and a place to which to give. When looking for your nearest pantry to donate, consider your neighbors and what foods they might need. The Little Free Pantries provide food from neighbors for neighbors, and donating has a positive impact on the recipients, the givers, and their communities.
These pantries are open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. No ID is required and anyone is welcome to give and receive food from them. They are a no-barrier access point to food, but too many are empty or near-empty, like the one in the photo.
For more information and to find a Little Free Pantry near you, visit www.thelittlefreepantries.org/find-a-pantry.
for a greater good
They faced death-
no matter that they were afraid
and wished to be somewhere else.
They had eternity
before them and, behind,
and there was nowhere left
to go.
They thought of home
And remembered those there
who were also afraid,
for the world.
So, no matter if death
came swift or slow
they marched on
for a greater good.
They went on
for those left behind
for those yet to come,
for us all.
Heroes never forgotten.
heroes at rest
heroes asleep.
No more marching
no more fear
for a greater good
for us all.
-LP

According to Wikipedia, the Kettering Bug was an experimental unmanned aerial torpedo, a forerunner of present-day cruise missiles. It was capable of striking ground targets up to 121 kilometres (75 mi) from its launch point, while traveling at speeds of 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph).The Bug's costly design and operation inspired Dr. Henry W. Walden to create a rocket that would allow a pilot to control the rocket after launch with the use of radio waves. The British radio controlled weapons of 1917 were secret at this time. These designs were forerunners of modern-day missiles.
Despite some successes during initial testing, the "Bug" was never used in combat. Officials worried about their reliability when carrying explosives over Allied troops. By the time the War ended about 45 Bugs had been produced. The aircraft and its technology remained a secret until World War II.

I thought this dumpster had quite the attitude with its jaunty angle and "DANGER", so I took a portrait! I am trying out the new-to-me RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM and I find it to be very promising.

I've heard opinions that film, particularly color negative film, is not sharp. I've also heard that lenses from the eighties and nineties are really not sharp. To the owners of those opinions, I respectfully present this image. While yes, it has been sharpened, so have most digital images.
I think the biggest problem that people who believe that film is soft face is that film, even when shot by a photographer who knows what she/he/they is/are doing, still needs a really good scanner with sharp focus and a really good scanner operator. Although I have an Epson Perfection 800, a dedicated 35mm film scanner with autofocus, and various camera macro lens scanning rigs, nothing beats a really skilled professional scanner and scanner operator at a professional lab except for a really skilled professional drum scanner operator at a pro lab. None of this, unfortunately, is cheap. If it were, I would likely consider shooting film only.
