Packard series
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.
Somewhere along Interstate 90 alongside Lake Erie, while driving from Cleveland to Buffalo on our way to Niagara Falls.
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.
The Golden Lamb Inn is the oldest hotel in Ohio. It was established in Lebanon, Ohio, in 1803.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 1978.
Lebanon is located on the old road between Cincinnati and Columbus. For this reason, many notables have visited the inn. The Golden Lamb has been visited by twelve American Presidents: William Henry Harrison, Benjamin Harrison, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, William McKinley, Warren G. Harding, William Howard Taft, Ronald Reagan, and George W. Bush.
Other famous guests include Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Daniel Webster, Robert A. Taft, and Lord Stanley, who later became prime minister of the United Kingdom.
This lighthouse is very similar to the one at Fairport Harbor, Ohio
which is near to where I grew up.

I remember seeing Soo Line SD60's in Berea when I was really young, so when I heard that one was leading an eastbound ethanol train and was set to run on the former PRR Fort Wayne Line, I knew I had to try for a few shots, despite the less than ideal weather. Here, train 6K4 stomps upgrade through Wooster Cut in Wooster, Ohio with SOO (CEFX) 6020 leading the way.
Ohio Centrals train from Newark arrives in Columbus.
The train will do it's work and make a turn back for Newark later that afternoon.

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.
