A while ago, I decided to make these little wooden garden stakes into chalkboard stakes for writing whatever anyone desired.

August 8, 2011
Long write-up for today's batch of awesomeness.
First off. This whole covid thing, the election, working from home, not being able to go out, not seeing friends/family, etc. Has me, and I'm sure everyone else frazzled. Having a project to work on, in my case hiking out and shooting photos of graffiti on trains has been the one thing that's keeping me sane at this point. Hoping to see some new pieces from writers that I respect is like opening a pack of baseball cards and finding your favorite players rookie card for me. Yeah, it sounds goofy, but I've been having fun, staying sane, and seeing and capturing some amazing pieces of rolling art.
So I had this weird Monday vacation day on 11-2-2020. I decided to drive out to one my my benching spots and hang out for the day.
The plan was to set up a time lapse camera, and then just hang out and bench freights for 5-6 hours. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and a slight breeze, 88F. high. No clouds makes for a very boring time lapse between trains coming by. I also only brought my little Small Rig clamp for the time lapse camera and couldn't decide where I wanted to clamp it. I should have just brought a tripod.
Out for a few hours before the BNSF guys in their truck rolled up, got out and started walking toward me. "Great!" I thought. They're going to try and chase me away. Nope, they walked over to one set of tracks, walked across the bridge inspecting the tracks, then under the bridge inspecting the bridge, got in their truck and left. I like that. I don't bother you. You don't bother me.
A while later I see tree guy coming back home. I don't know his name, but there's a guy who lives in/under a tree that's next to the trail I hike in on. Once he's in there you'd never know it. I've seen him, he's seen me, and we don't bother each other.
The whole time I'm there I'm using my little Tascam recorder to record train audio every time one comes by so I have audio for the slideshow videos I've been uploading on YouTube. Well, this time I forgot it out there. Didn't dump my photos until Tuesday night and discovered it missing. Woke up early, drove out and it was still there. It recorded for almost 5 more hours before the batteries died. Glad to have it back, I thought tree guy might have found it.

Each December I write, draw, fold, staple and send an original Holiday card to family and friends, starring a sleepy, caricatured version of myself, and my upbeat canine companion. Sometimes you get a full comic strip story, last year I created puzzles and games in a "Fun Book" format, and sometimes I'll write an illustrated story in rhyme.
The 2012 card is "It's Out Lot"—an illustrated story in rhyme, inspired by the Christmas tree lots that dot every sidewalk and vacant lot come December. Perhaps I'll post some material from previous years in the coming months.

This week didn't really go as planned I guess... At first, I planned to take all my pictures the weekend before because I was going to California for a crew regatta. But the regatta ended up being very cold and very rainy and so for obvious reasons I wasn't really crazy about taking my camera out and taking pictures outside. Plus the majority of the time, the team is busy helping everyone else run the regatta and things like that. But I did end up taking at least a couple pictures and some good examples of texture. I got home and the week went by very quickly and before I knew it, it was Thursday. Thursday night was the last Brophy football and I was assigned to take pictures that night at the game. It was a very good game but a little long so I got home pretty late, still knowing that I had to take pictures. So I set up my typical mini studio, using a couple of white poster papers and my super bright, white, fluorescent lamp that I have used for a bunch of my previous assignments. I like this lamp because it doesn't have that warm orange-y feel to it that some light bulbs have but it's just pure white. On Thursday morning I have a couple good ideas while getting ready before school. Those ideas were my shoes, and the gel that I had lying around in my bathroom. So that was basically what I used. I tried a couple of different angles of the light so the subjects would have different shadows and it would catch the light differently. And I ended up with a couple good shots I could use. My post processing was just typical levels, curves, etc. Nothing too special.
Many grooms write the trainer's name on their muck cart. This cutesy one from the Carla Gaines barn caught my eye. "Estrellita" is Spanish for "little star." Photo taken at Santa Anita Park racetrack in Arcadia, California, U.S.A. (June 12, 2014)
