10/26/10 - Day 312
Right before leaving my San Francisco office, I saw the Daily Shoot assignment #345: "Make a photograph today where vertical elements or lines dominate the scene." After a site visit in Hayward, I realized the vertical expression of the San Mateo Bridge light poles was as good as it was going to get today. Shot using FxCamera on my Android phone.
Old light pole along the rear entrance driveway from Clarinda Road to the Hoyts Skyline Oakleigh Drive-in which opened in 1955 and closed in 1990. In later years the site was rebuilt as a twein and a new rear entrance faced Bourke Road which did not exist at the time of opening. The drive in site is now a retirement village and housing estate. Other remains of the drive in include cypress trees around the site and a section of high barbed-wire topped Colorbond fence along Bourke Road
More on the Oakleigh Skyline Drive-In can be found here, including the light poles in their original condition which ran along the site.
Lightpole test with first long exposure using Canon s120. Streak made using P7 lenser and some sweet wrappers.
It turns out these are the "worn out" shoes of the handball players using the nearby handball courts. Apparently they go through shoes pretty quickly. Probably not that big of a deal seeing as the sport requires very little equipment otherwise.
Was getting into my car on a warm, beautiful, golden morning and there was this Mockingbird right there in front of my car on a light post, singing to the world. :)
"The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake.
There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star."
~ Henry David Thoreau
Lightpoles at the former Westt Mifflin Sam's Club on Lebanon Church Rd. This store was originally a Sears in 1965. I think these poles are original 65 from Sears.
I took this photo after visiting my brother Doug after his open heart surgery in the University of Michigan Hospital's Cardiovascular Center. Fortunately, he has been home now for two weeks and is well on the road to recovery.
The Cardiovascular Center is very new, only having been opened about seven years ago. This lamp post with its flower basket is seen against the Cardiovascular Center's circular atrium.
It seems you can't turn around on flickr without running into gobs of lamp posts, so I figured I had better add mine to the morass of images. ;-)))
This one improves when viewed large on black.
Taken at Colorado State University next to the primary music building. I played with a color and selective color version, but really prefer the black and white. I'll post a color version in the comments for comparison.
This shot is from the parking lot of my alma mater, Armstrong High School in Plymouth, Minnesota. My Daughter also graduated from Armstrong and my Son is currently a senior. Armstrong sits near the North Shore of Medicine Lake.
These advertising colors were our sunshine this day. Do you drink Bang and smoke Pall Malls?

Bang drink is manufactured by Vital Pharmaceuticals it turns out.
