In the last 24 hours Mr Lucky and Mary have travelled by taxi, plane, and the London Underground. Now they are at King's Cross. When's the next departure from Platform 9¾?
Went out for the day at my local freight/Metrolink yard to meet up once again with "Pasadena Sub Colin" to drop off a couple graff books. He's
like a ghost. He seems to just show up out of nowhere, but this time we arranged that we would be there at the same time.
Thought about not staying and getting more flicks, because I've got a huge backlog, but damn, the weather was so great, and there were actually clouds in the sky and a little breeze. The kind of days I dream about when I'm out in the desert half-way through summer and it's 109 F., dry, dusty, not a cloud in the sky, and shade is hard to find.
Clouds in the sky in California mean one of two things, it's about to rain, or it just rained. So to have some clouds was great. If you look through my flicks, No clouds. I don't like it, but I get my flicks when/where I can.
Clouds, also double edged sword. The sun couldn't decide.... Well, actually the clouds couldn't decide if they wanted to let the sun shine through, or hide it. As a photographer this makes it challenging to photograph a moving train. It's either dark, or super bright. Oh well.
Well trains are slow?! Ignore the internet for a few minutes of your day and go to the tracks. Stand about 10 ft. from the tracks, try to capture a whole car in one photo as they roll by at 20-40 Mph. They might look slow from far away, but get up close and you can feel the wind coming off of the cars as they pass by. I use a super wide lens at this location. 7.5 mm "fisheye" lens, so I can be very close, and still get a whole autorack in the shot. I'm always amazed at all of those shots from the past shot on film cameras that look great. Me here in 2022 with a digital
camera complaining like a little girl.
Sorry, As usual, it will take me a few days or a week to come back and ID/tag all of the writers in my flicks. I'm old/tired, and I have a hard time IDing some pieces. No offense to anyone, but I do the best I can. If you can or want to correct me, COMMENT!!!!
As always, Thanks to all the writers, and also my fellow benchers. Stay safe out there you guys and dolls.
Much love to the graff community. I've made a lot of friends, and some new family.

The original OOB I did I made the background a graduated blue (light to dark) but deliberately changed it to solid black purely for the effect here on flickrs lightroom :-) The image with the blue background has shadows under the frame which gives the image a touch more realism though and you don't get that with the black!
For those who'd like to know- this is Tomas Enge, First Czech Republic F1 driver (3 races as substitute in 2001) and here on his way to winning his third race of the 2010 Formula 3000 season.

Edit: Turns out it wasn't the last night launch.

I was shopping in a mall when I noticed it was raining. Totally unexpected. But I had my camera with me and went out shooting these tables kept by the local Barrista outlet there. No tripod used. Slightly under-exposed using Shutter-priority AE and later touched with Photoshop Elements 5
Y llevas el caño a tu sien,
apretando bien las muelas.
Y cierras los ojos y ves
todo el mar en primavera.
Bang bang bang
Greece isn't just beaches and Athens - its also the mountains, hospitality, great nature, tasty food and warm people. Read about my visit to Meteora in Greece at hikinginfinland.com
Not the best quality but a shot of Sean teaching Finn how to walk beside him off lead. Something I am not having much luck at, but Sean is. Finnegan for the most part listens to him. What's really great about this is that there were a lot of distractions today and Finn stayed by his side' listening and waiting for instruction;)
