It is time for me to reveal the November image of the 2023 Photography 139 Calendar:

November
The November image is a picture of the Tin Man sculpture in Stanley, Iowa. In retrospect, it does feel a little strange that I chose to process this image in black and white when the Tin Man is only in the color portion of THE WIZARD OF OZ. But I do love processing the decrepit in black & white because black & white photography shows off the textures so much better. I chose November for this image as November is when Olivia’s birthday is and THE WIZARD OF OZ was her favorite movie.

Last week we had a mini office party for the few people that actually work in the physical computer mine. I was tasked (sorta) for taking some pictures of the even for the computer mine socials.
Here are a few of my favorites:

Michelle took the picture that I am in.
I hope next year we are able to bring back the chili cook-off. Even if it is just Me vs. Jesse vs. Micky.
