275: Artcore
September 1, 2010 My man's Ibanez Artcore guitar. First time in a while that I've had to scramble at the end of the day for a photo.
274: Sweet
August 31, 2010 Little Miss Boo is getting way too big! We were out for a walk with my mom, and Bailey would periodically sit up and peer around the corner at me with a look of pure trouble on her face. It was a hard choice between this shot and a mischievous one, but I went with sweet today.
273: Lightroom & Lattes
August 30, 2010 I still hadn't finished editing the wedding photos I shot last month, so this afternoon my wonderful mom came to watch the kids while I went out to edit. Three and a half hours at Starbucks, and I'm done! It's amazing how much you can accomplish in a few uninterrupted hours, and even more amazing how much bigger the kids were when I got home.:)
272: There’s no place like home
August 29, 2010 Dorothy, you know it.My final red transportation shot :)
271: Cruiser
August 28, 2010 I was in search of a red bicycle today, and I'm sure you can imagine my delight when I saw a man on this one heading my way! He graciously allowed me to shoot some action shots of him.I'm beginning to lose my fear of asking for a shot - I just try to act confident, and let my beefy looking camera do the rest of the talking. I guess I look somewhat legit :)
270: Bus Stop
August 27, 2010 This retired and transplanted double decker bus lives downtown, across the street from the Bessborough Hotel. It's the home of Bus Stop Refreshments, and nothing beats their iced tea and ice cream on a hot summer day!
269: Rockin the whitewalls
August 26, 2010 Along with the red theme this week, it appears I have self-imposed a transportation theme to go along with it. And a 50mm f/1.8 theme.After yesterday's shot, Clay said, "I guess you're going to have to find yourself a sweet red car to shoot tomorrow." At lunch today, I asked my dad where I could find one. He sent me to a vintage auto sales dealer in the next town, and this 65 Impala fit the bill. I was smitten by a silver Thunderbird though, so maybe I'll go back to shoot it another day. (Jean, now I've got the Marc Cohn song in my head.)
Now what else can I shoot for the next 3 days? Bicycle? I'm running out of transport options.
268: Badass
August 25, 2010 I pull into a parking lot at the same time a badass looking guy pulls up on this bike. All I was thinking was, "Red bike! Red bike! I need a shot of that bike for the theme!" After humming and hawing about whether I should, I approached him and asked if he'd mind if I shot some photos of his bike. He was incredibly friendly, and said it was no problem.Moral of the story: Don't judge a man by the skull on his leather vest.
267: Take Flight
August 24, 2010 Lift me upturn me around
I'm gonna get my feet off the ground
lift me up
