Moody Over 40

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug a camera

Yes, well, my posting over the past month or so has been hit and miss, as our Interwebs is giving me hives with its slothfulness of late and ongoing habit of kicking me off at the most inopportune moments, sending my edits and uploads to god-knows-where; most days I just about manage to visit my own blog but I could grow an olive tree in the time it takes to load.  DSL in the boonies, hooked up and then forgotten.  It’s bad, man, baaaaad.

I’m going to send you over to the Lance Corporal’s blog, because therein rests a pretty good idea of what at least one of our troops really thinks of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.

I’ve pondered aloud before why the tighty righties always get to run away with the flag.  What a shock to discover there are unpatriotic leftwing elitists among our enlisted persons.

Fun with abstractions in water (again), a regular device lately because I’ve been pretty bored and we gotalotta water around here.   This one I wish I’d shot in color as well; woulda been all greens and golds and shimmery.

Lawson’s Shack.

with 4 comments

One of the loveliest decrepit buildings we have have around here. The Lawsons have been here since 1856, and as far as I know they’ve always done construction and sawyer-y things. The company is still sited at this spot, and this old shack remains. I think it might have been a boathouse, actually.

Yoyo & Oyo.

with 2 comments

That empty seat was a little unnerving…

I didn’t notice the shadowy effect on figures on the other side of the YoYo sign until after I saw this shot, else I’d'a tried to capture some of those.   But the crop is pretty eery, if I say so myself:

I like the crop a lot, actually, but that’s me.  Nothing like a small-town fair to bring out the Twilight Zone in all of us…

The rides at our county fair were fun to shoot, and I only wish our fair was larger (it is very very small; y’know how you city-slickers sometimes see traveling carnivals setting up in empty parking lots?  Yeah, about like that.  With livestock.) so there coulda been more of ‘em.

Ice Puddles 4 & 5.

leave a comment »

This series starts back here.  Ice can be a fantastically abstracty thing to shoot; it’s also a handy subject when you can’t seem to get much done lately and the brain is both freezing and farting all at once.  These are all shot on my early morning walks with the dog.
