A quick stop for air and a photo while headed uphill at 5:30 a.m. in the John Muir Wilderness on Saturday, July 20, 2013.
Part of my Driving with Lili Series
A derelict Convenience Store on Harry Hines
when first I moved to Dallas I worked just down the street. I used to drop in here and get Gasoline and a Coke on the way in.
The much bigger and fancier place across the street basically buried them.
I like the clerk who alway waited on me, he was sweet, liked blondes, and alway warned me if things were going sideways in the area (it was a VERY rough area back then).
Hope he is ok and doing well...
I made a simple jig to be sure the tops of the crank posts line up evenly when I cut and grind them.
Checking Google Maps now and then to see where I was and seeing the dot gradually move is satisfying.
Leaving Prague.
I was on a dark beach and those were the lights shining off in the distance, I got the effect by moving the camera.
The tilt/shift lens can be tricky to use. I found myself moving the opposite way of what I needed to. It was also difficult to know what would work really good for this lens. I chose this limb because it was at an angle so I could practice getting it all in focus even though it was all at a different distance. There are spots on it that are not focused but overall I am happy with it. I took this photo into lightroom to add some vibrance to it because it was really dull.

I was walking around the Galle fort, Sri Lanka and was lucky to meet a quick model, who posed for my camera without any hesitation.
This shot was hard to get with auto focus. I realized how hard it would be to use auto focus, especially with moving things.
