Night Driving

I keep saying I’m going to get back to bloggin’, but it never seems to happen.

Well I think if I get a lot less ambitious, things might work out. So I’m just going to try to throw up something daily-ish. I didn’t want to get back on the horse with anything that was too obvious. Thought I would come at you with an image that is a little less accessible and slightly more abstract than a flower. Don’t worry Russell, plenty of flower pictures are coming your way.

Corning, New York

Back in August I went on my 2nd ever work trip for the day job. I went to Corning, New York and Mansfield, Pennsylvania with Micky. We had enough down time to crack out the camera a little bit.

Very few pictures are from Corning, Iowa. No pictures are from Mansfield, Pennsylvania.

Here a few images from that trip:


Watkins Glen - Personal Photo Project #199

It certainly beat my first ever work “trip”: going to the Carroll, Iowa McDonald’s to cover their store while their staff had a Christmas Party cause let’s face it, Carroll, Iowa kind of sucks. If the town didn’t have an A&W, it might not even have a right to exist.
