It's ok not to know.
It's ok to rest
through the in betweens.
Until you don't
need the breaks.
Until the
view unfolds.
Until resistance
gives way.
Until the road
is clear.
The road will clear.

A row of school buses parked for the summer at our local grade school. I didn't think I'd ever get to use this camera, because they haven't made the special type of film it takes in probably 50 years or so. But, I noticed the shutter worked, even without batteries, so I cut down some 120 film, positioned it carefully where I thought it should be, (in total darkness, of course!), and then shot with it. For the first attempt, I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Now I can mark off another camera in my collection that I've used. My goal is to be able to say I've used every camera in my collection - all 267 of them. (And counting....?)
Taken with my hundred and twenty-sixth camera. This image is not cropped, I simply scanned it to all the edges. It turned out the same dimensions as a 35mm negative, so I suppose that's the shape the original instant prints must have been. And I must have gotten lucky in where I positioned the negative in the camera because it was level and where it needed to be, apparently.

School Bus Graveyard
Just a small sampling of well over 100 school buses parked in a field. The school district info had been painted over with black spray paint and any electronics had been removed.
Newly planted blueberry bushes ( tags still displayed ) and a row of parked buses.
During blueberry season, buses are used to transport seasonally hired, hardworking pickers to and fro remotely located berry farms.
Meanwhile, the buses seem to remain parked until the next fruit bearing season rolls around.
To me the setting sun created a little magic to this idle country scene.....hence, the inspiration for this latest caption.. 'Magic Bus'

While driving through Appleton in order to visit a coworker of mine, I passed this amazing schoolbus depot, situated directly at the street. Since we dont have schoolbuses in germany and these buses are almost the incarnation of America for me, I had to stop and shoot there.
There are so many of them there, that I am planning to go back today and shoot some more. Finds like these are always the best, and that one definitely made my day!
