Cayuga Chevrolet

Saw this old Chevy on the way back from Ithaca on Rt 89. Not sure what year it is, maybe 1952.

Ying Yang

This should look familiar. Mom's bowl in the porch at sunset. Mom thought the shadow made it look like the ying yang symbol.

Circles

This past week's challenge was "circles" as chosen by JK. Took this photo of some magnets I made for Merry's bridal shower next weekend. A double DIY project - favors AND photo! The overcast sky didn't give much ambient light, so turned on some lamps and ended up with shadows and highlights.

Cars

The last weekly challenge we had was WAY too long ago, so we're finally getting our "car" photos up. This is Mom's car as I was walking in from unsuccessfully shooting Joey's car in the driveway. I kind of like how it ends up being a little self portrait of me in the front yard. Really like how the sky stayed blue around the Chevy logo.

Took this photo while up in NYC this past weekend. This little rundown hotel was just hanging out on the side of the West Side Highway, overlooking the water. I certainly don't want to know what goes on around here at night, but compared to the "razzle dazzle" of other areas of New York, this image almost doesn't fit.
