Took this shot of my co-worker w/ my iPhone 5! Loved the natural light that was coming in through my office windows. Picture was edited with iPhone apps such as Vintique, Wood camera and Instagram.
After decades, Bane is back on flickr. I had one or two ideas for macro photos, the only problem is that my camera battery has to recharge right now. But anyways, Wolffe always wanted to see himself on a photo packed with cheap iPhone hipster effects.
I spied Hugo and his great jacket while on the look-out for strangers to photograph. I hope Hugo wasn't too annoyed by my intruding on his search through the bric-a-brac. I thought he had a great overall look. I'm sorry the light was so harsh on his eyes, it was just after high noon for the sun. Hugo had come all the way from Oakville with his friend Luke. Thanks Hugo for participating!! Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers from around the world, in the Flickr group 100 Strangers.
This happened to me last Sunday morning when I was at church alone, and I felt a desperate pull to write it down.

She walked slowly up the aisle and bowed towards the alter when she reached the front. She was black, maybe in her 40s, and obviously homeless. She wore a baggy gray sweatshirt, black leggings, worn sneakers, and a hand-crocheted cap over her short graying hair. She had a blue-gray backpack slung over her broad shoulders.
“You have a very nice choir,” she said to our director. “Can I sing?”
He said sure, of course, and so she smiled a bit, trudged up the steps to the second row of chairs and settled awkwardly between the other alto and I.
For the first four or five hymns we went over as we warmed up, she looked confused. The woman on her other side had to help her find the right numbers in the hymnal, and she didn’t sing with us but rather just looked at the pages. After a few songs, I realized that she was muttering something aloud and making little gestures with her rough hands. It wasn’t the lyrics to the songs we sang, and it seemed clear to me that it wasn’t intended for any of us to hear. On the last piece of service music we ran through, I heard her finally join in with a small, quivering voice, just a barely off key but absolutely there. I smiled.
When our warm up and rehearsal had finished, we gathered with the priests and lems and acolytes in the sunlit chapel and said a prayer. We were lined up, our hymnals opened to s67, The Great Litany, when she first spoke to me directly.
“You do this every Sunday?”
“Yeah.” I smiled hesitantly.
“So you’re not scared anymore.” It wasn’t a question, but rather a knowing statement.
“N-no.” I guess this is the one thing that I’m not afraid of.
“What’s your name?”
“Claire.”
“Claire. Claire.” She smiled softly, like the name tasted sweet on her tongue. Like she knew my name means “light.”
“And how old are you?”
“18. Almost.” I don’t know why I said I was 18. I’ll be 17 for another 42 days now.
“Ah.” She looked at me and then closed her eyes for a moment.
“It’ll all be okay. You’ll see.”
And I just smiled.
I turned back around, preparing to process into the sanctuary. Behind me I could hear her again whispering long strings of words to herself, or maybe just to God. I couldn’t make out most of it, but the few words I could discern were those she repeated throughout.
“……by the water, the water……. Pray. Just pray……… then just tap him on the shoulder,” she stretched out her arm and made a tapped motion, “and pray.”
She fell asleep during the sermon and was nodding off for most of it, and every time we spoke or sang something as a congregation she was whispering something else to herself. After the service, I saw her introduce herself to Jennifer, and then they stayed in the nave and talked long after everyone else had left for coffee hour. I just smiled.
46th Annual 2021 Vintiques NW auto show was held in Yakima, WA this weekend. I took myself on an amble through the park at mid-day, certainly not optimum for photography but fun to see the vehicles. I'm more of a crow, attracted to shiny objects than a car guy, but I appreciate the efforts these folks go through to keep an element of history alive. It was nice to see the number of cars as well as the visitors, though the latter and the background clutter restricted clean or unobstructed shots. An enjoyable $5 outing!

Museum info:
John Proctor was inspired by hot rods in the 1973 film American Graffiti. However, it wasn't until he read Custom Car and Street Machine magazines, as well as visiting the Custom Car Show at Alexandra Palace in London, that John got the bug for building hot rods.
John started off building a kit car that was based on an early M.G.-style boat-tail car. The car flew and that's when he new he liked high-powered V8 engines. In 2006, John started the Model Y project. He had decided to use a Daimler 2.5-litre V8 hemi engine but needed to find a car to put it in. A photo of a 1936 Ford Model Y for sale at the N.S.R.A. Supernationals led him to purchase it.
The body was stripped off, the chassis was boxed and new K-members were welded in. A front Model A crossmember was used to fit a Model A beam axle using hairpins. The Daimler 250 engine and auto 'box were rebuilt, and the Daimler live rear axle was fitted using ladder bars. The body was channelled four inches at the front to give it a broken-back look, a very cartoonish look like that on Hot Wheels toy cars. A set of Wheel Vintiques wire wheels shipped over from the U.S. were fitted. The roof panel was made from black Perspex, and to top it off, a G.M. 3-71 supercharger with a boat velocity stack carburettor was installed.

PicFx, PhotoToaster, Vintique on Iphone
On a recent kayaking venture around the Delaware Bay, I kept my iPhone in a plastic bag and got a couple of really nice shots. The softness of this photo is from the plastic bag. Maybe I could market that as a new filter?
One good thing about traveling in winter is that you can almost always manage to get a photo without a bunch of other tourists in the way! 😉#paris #europe #travel #traveling #travelawesome #gopro #goprouniverse #goprophotodaily #goprophotography_ #wanderlust #worlderlust #igersoftheday_ #instapassport #phototag_it #bestplacestogo #vintique #eclectic_earth #france #igtravel #igers #instadaily #photooftheday #travelgram #travelphotography #big_shotz #beautiful #explore #adventure #vscogrid
