With all of the running I’ve been doing this week it finally caught up to me. A little tired today, so, with the exception of doing a few errands for the coming week, I really didn’t feel like doing much today. The lawn is ugly because of all of the hot weather but I think it can survive another week…

365-211 Tal Farlow was a sign painter
Besides being an accomplished jazz guitarist, Tal Farlow retired to New Jersey to be a sign painter in the late 1950’s. He was as good a painter as he was a guitarist and can be seen in action doing both in the excellent documentary, “Talmage Farlow“. I am sure he was better at spelling than whoever painted this sign!

365-210 One week later
Another day of traveling back home. On my way I visited the same place I took last Fridays daily photo. Like last Friday I didn’t have a photo for the day until stopping at the park since there is not much to shoot on a highway in the middle of the day. I had to stop for gas anyway and it’s…
365-209 Horses, of course
I came out of my hotel this morning and saw these guys waiting in a trailer in the parking lot. It looked a little cramped in there, I hope they had a good nights rest also. Afterwards, before I set out, I discovered I had a half flat tire on my truck. A good way to start the day. But,…
365-208 Finally, an old car!
So here I am in the hills of West Virginia this week and I thought for sure I would easily be able to get a picture of an old abandoned car or truck sitting in a field. Instead everything is kind of neat and tidy, Granted I am in the state capital area and trying not to stray too far…
365-207 Landfill nature
I spent the whole day on a landfill. As exciting as that sounds I am going to spare you photos of actual garbage. Besides, all landfill garbage pictures generally look the same anyhow. Instead I’ll show some landfill nature. Enjoy! Pentax K20D, DA 55-300, DA17-70. Click on pics for larger view Marcher
365-206 Stranger in a strange land
So I am working out of town for a few more days and I’m having a tough time with my photography. I don’t know what it is but I’m not really happy with the direction it has been going the last few days (weeks?). I thought it would help being in a different city but so far it has been a…
365-205 Still in B&W
The past few days I have been liking the black and white versions of my 365 photos better than the color. I try to like color in most of my shots but if the color isn’t really a main component to the image, I feel that black and white enhances the elements of the photo better, especially when it comes…
365-204 A humanoid day
So I was driving through town and spotted yet another protest dummy sitting on a wall. This time at the local newspaper office. I shot a portion of a dummy before (365-164) at another location but I couldn’t figure out what the purpose was. Well today I discovered, from what I read on the dummy, it is an anti smoking demonstration.…
365-203 One shot
It’s late and I’ve been busy and traveling all day so I’ll just post a single shot today. I stopped to get gas at a highway exit and saw a sign for a state park nearby and I figured that may be a good place to grab a daily shot. I spotted this duck contrasting against the reflected green in…
