Saturday

A shot from one of my Diana cameras - a church in Friendship, ME - like looking back in time.

Weightless

After days of rain the sun finally showed. On my way to work, I passed this and did a double take. The car was pristinely clean and the trunk perfectly framed one of my favorite buildings in town.

This was one angry Emu. Every time I even placed the camera close to the fence (to try to frame it out of the picture) he'd come running over and try to peck the lens (and he succeeded twice, including this take). It's not that great a shot and I hesitated to post it - but the focused look of anger in his eyes tipped it for me.

There's a town nearby where it appears that none of the buildings have been painted in years. This is the side wall on an old gas station, in that town, that has a one stall, old-school carwash. There was something about it that just seemed hopeful - run down, but like it's just wanting to be used.

Someone propped up this branch in between some rocks on the shorline near where I live. Less than 24 hours later, the weather had conspired to make it a semi-permenant part of the landscape. Once the thaw came this spring, it toppled in the winds of a spring storm and was swept out to sea.

I was touring a warehouse in Sanford Maine for work. As we were walking out of the building I walked through this doorway before it occurred to me that it might make an interesting shot. I find that the simplest shots are the easiest ones to overlook. Sometimes you get lucky and mind engages in near real time with the eyes.

Timing and someone else's personality - we were up on a perch overlooking this beach, I happened to see this couple walking together down the beach when the guy decided to lie down (he looks a bit like a log) and his partner decided she would dance. A nice little moment.
