This week’s theme seemed to really inspire lots of people. Including first time contributor and conspiracy theory enthusiast Joe Lynch. Who wanted it known that those aren’t clouds in his picture. They are chem trails. Dropped by “them” on the “masses” to dumb us down or make us easier to… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 39 – SKY/CLOUDS

Added a new category in PARTICULARS since I love minutia. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO: 100 FOCAL… Read More »Rust Bucket – Strong City Kansas
EMOTIONS was a profoundly unpopular theme. I’m sure destined to hit the cutting room floor if this challenge extends into a second year. Maybe it was the holiday weekend. Maybe people were like feelings? Actually feeling something? No thanks! Back to my mass consumerism, thank you very much*. Either way,… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 37 – EMOTIONS

I might have processed this image to within an inch of its life. However, it turned out pretty much exactly as I wanted it so. Everybody wins! It feels like I should show you what the original image looked like. But I’m not going to. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO:… Read More »Feeling Kansas
The subject of this here entry is what I’m guessing most people will think or even feel when they look at the photo that makes up the entirety of this here entry. Possible exception, Anders Runestad.

The collection of COUNTRY losers from the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE isn’t large in size, but the magnitude of their loserness… I’m actually all caught up on my losers now.
The next two folders are pretty small so I combined them. 03-04-07 & 03-07-07 Man. I’m not aging well. Back to the March 2007 folders next Saturday.
Here is a collection of pictures that didn’t make the cut for RUINS in the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE.

While… Read More »Got a Couple of Couches, Sleep on the Love Seat
