Yes! Even more from my trip to Kentucky. Although for the record, all of these pictures were taken in Tennessee.
Next week’s Wednesday should finish up the Kentucky vacation collection.
I think this might be one of the best weekly collections to date. But I should stop patting myself on the back and get back to work (on this week).
The next 7 themes:
Day 106: Favorite Space
Day 107: Secret
Day 108: Leafy
Day 109: First World Problem
Day 110: Still
Day 111: A Good Day
Day 112: Open
This week’s Personal Photo Project was to photograph the statue store where most of my immense collection of frog statues come from… the Browse-A-Bout in Kentucky.
I finally saw this place in person on Teresa, Logan, and I’s trip to Kentucky to visit Ernie.
The remainder of the Browse-A-Bout Series:
Next week’s Personal Photo Project will involve flowers again. Coneflowers or hollyhocks or lilies or sunflowers…
This picture of an abandoned sign on the side of I-80 concludes the pictures from Shannon and I’s road trip. Originally there was planned to be a set of images from the Corning Opera House, but I don’t like them at all. I usually don’t run from my failures, but this time I am, going to run, from my failure, as fast and far as I can.
The remainder of the Croutons Series:
Next week’s Personal Photo Project of the Week will involve flowers. Perhaps flowers from the State Fair. No promises.
The first scheduled stop on Shannon and I’s road trip itinerary was the grounds of a former 19th century cult that had a colony near Corning, called the French Icarians. They had some pretty crazy beliefs like:
Fraternity. As a rule of conduct, three principles summarize all: Love your neighbor as yourself. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Do to others the good that you wish for yourself. All must be as brothers, living each for all and all of each.
Equality. It is not nature, but society that has made men unequal in intelligence and education. The remedy for existing social problems is the universal application of the principle of social equality. Social equality can be achieved by a system of communal sharing of goods and services. The community has an obligation to provide free equal educational opportunities to all. And all individuals must be treated equally before the law.
Liberty. All religious opinion must be accorded tolerance and respect. Freedom of speech is basic and all people may participate in the communal assembly meetings, the principal means of setting community policy.
Yeah, like that would ever work!
The rest of the $80 Series:
I’m curious to know if Shannon can figure out what is “wrong” with the image that I chose to represent the entire photo series. I guess I’ll have to wait to see.
In addition to the flower calendar that was for sale last year, I made a small run of the traditional Merry Christmas calendars. The remainder of the Merry Christmas Calendars will be distributed on the morrow, so I don’t think their is any harm in sharing those images at this time.
I went down a completely different road with the production of this calendar. It was freeing and difficult at the same time, but I am very pleased with the results.
