The external hard drive that houses many of my old images is becoming increasingly less reliable, so I’m in the process of transferring them to… Read More »2007 – January – Before & After
Here is a collection of images I took for the WEEKLY CHALLENGE, that didn’t make the cut. JUNK, GRAFFITI, MUSIC, and LANDMARK are all included. I’ll try to be better next time.
A wintry look at Ledges’ famous stone bridge. I might just make this entire week about my walk around Ledges. But I might not.

There was a bump in participation this week. Maybe we’ll get another bump next week.

Which is too bad, even though it is a… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 22 – JUNK
