Shot this in the Finger Lakes, New York while we were camping.
You know, I've been thinking about this shot after I posted it. The car, arguably one of the most important or at least, essential inventions in our day to day life. Of the 20th century in our first world countries anyway. Only a house is a bigger investment on average. It got us here where I shot this. It's protected me from the elements, my home away from home. And yet look at what it's doing to our planet, to our climate.
At the same time look at this sky. We aren't but a speck in the universe both in size and time. What does the universe care about the things we are doing to ourselves, to the things around us? If we are not careful we'll just be space junk. Humbling, really. It must have been the thing in my subconscious that decided to leave the car in the shot.

Alone with nothing but my thoughts is enough to drive me crazy. A self portrait shot in an abandoned Chapel. VisArG.com
Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days
She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones
Seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone
And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I've been holding on too tight
With nothing in between
The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time... is frozen
The story of my life
I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she's broke
Inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
Written on these walls are the colors that I can't change
Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage
I know that in the morning now I see us in the light upon a hill
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed, still
And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
The way that I've been holding on so tight
With nothing in between
And I been waiting for this time to come around
But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds
The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time is frozen
The story of my life
I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she's broke (until she's broke inside)
Inside
The story of my life

I like her cover and interpretation - South African girl singing FILIPA - hope she gets lots of votes and win

then it's better to lose it under a streetlight

Canon EOS 1V
Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 L II IS USM
Kodak Portra 400 VC film expired April 2002.
Some of my conclusions at Stanford's VLAB 2014.
I am reminded of the closing chapter in Danny Hillis' book The Pattern on the Stone: “We will not engineer an artificial intelligence; rather we will set up the right conditions under which an intelligence can emerge. The greatest achievement of our technology may well be creation of tools that allow us to go beyond engineering – that allow us to create more than we can understand.”
More tinkering with gear. Today this lovely "on the fly" portrait was done without posing on planned setup. Lovely lady was watching TV and I asked if it was OK to snap away. She said yes and I asked her to be natural and not pose.
Canon EOS 5D Mark III with Hasselblad 80mm f2.8 CFE T*, with Vizilex ND Throttle (Hasselblad V to Canon) adapter. Canon Speedlight 430EX II on camera flash set at 1/2 power. Had the ND on the adapter set at about 5 stops. Lens was wide open.
Not sure but I think the ND filter is giving a color cast particularly the background which was beige color. Need more testing to be sure. Anyone with any experience with ND with flash indoors or Vizilex ND adapters?
My smart, sad little granddaughter in an unguarded moment. God bless this sweet child.

We met this seagull meandering, apparently steeped in thought, on the banks of the Thames exposed by low tide.
The other night it snowed and I saw this shot through the den window. I grabbed my coat and camera and shot it like a man on a hunting mission. After I uploaded it, I called Don in to see it. He just looked at me like I was nuts (he's not far off you know, 5150). But then last night I was showing him some pics that were in Explore and he made a very positive comment on one I just laughed at. So it just goes to prove beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder or as one of my good friends puts it, "There's an ass for every seat."

These guys have a serious yet friendly game of chess going on at Market Square in Pittsburg. The guy smoking the cigarette appears to analyze this game while the guy on the right is working through his next move.
This bakery makes the greatest hamburger buns I will ever eat. You can tell when you get a Hanisch bun, the softness and quality is beyond compare. It's heaven holding the glory of the almighty cheeseburger
I've gotten into writing haikus lately, I used to write them as "Love Notes" to my girlfriend, (now wife) back in high school. I'd pass her a quick note in the hallways as walked past each other going to different classes throughout the day
Pillowy soft bun
My cheeseburger weeps for you

I saw these lads perched up on a wall in Bangalore while I was whizzing by in a taxi. I loved how the group was looking out to their left...and the dreamer among them looking the opposite direction in deep thought.
He was a cowboy, mister, and he loved the land. He loved it so much he
made a woman out of dirt and married her. But when he kissed her, she
disintegrated. Later, at the funeral, when the preacher said, "Dust to dust,"
some people laughed, and the cowboy shot them. At his hanging, he told
the others, "I'll be waiting for you in heaven--with a gun."
