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.…

365-200 One mans treasure
Whoa..200th photo! Although my 365 project is pushing me to new heights (and lows), I really can’t wait until it’s over, at least from my blog perspective. I feel like I am punishing my subscribers with daily emails about my posts of questionable interest. Next year I will only post on occasion when I have a nice selection of very…
365-191 Hangin’ at the courthouse
Well I wasn’t really hanging out (although there are some questionable characters who do) but just stopped by for a few photos. Sundays are a nice time to check out some of the architecture around the downtown area because there are few people milling about. I thought I would go onto the steps of the courthouse and get a different…
365-189 Keep it rolling
I don’t know why I found yesterdays post still in the draft stage. I know I hit publish and I viewed the final post. Crazy. I couldn’t resist another slow shutter shot today. Actually I would have liked a slower shutter speed on this shot but it was still pretty bright out even using a polarizer, a ND4X filter, and…
365-180 Forget all your cares and go
Downtown. Explored around the downtown area today. Well, OK, downtown doesn’t cover that much of an area. I probably have covered the area pretty well over the last few months but I think there is always a shot somewhere. I was able to park my vehicle and look around the old parking garage that is soon to be demolished or sold…
365-175 Just one
Only one shot for today. I’ve seen this chain tightly wrapped and locked around this pole near the park many times and thought about getting a shot of it. It’s been that way as long as I can recall and I thought it looked kind of cool. Simple as that. Pentax K20D, DA17-70. In Secure
365-174 Action / no action
My 365 shot is of action. Well, as much action as I usually shoot. I spotted these men working on the billboards near the highway while sitting at a traffic light. The sky behind them was fairly dark and dramatic from passing storms but I had to go around the block to get a good shot due to foreground clutter. When…
365-171 Baby please don’t go
Besides a cool song (here’s a version by Lightnin Hopkins) it’s also my plea to my viewers. OK, I really don’t think people will flee when I have a few bad days, it’s just that I always want to show something really good everyday. I know that is kind of impossible and I have to stop thinking that way, but I’m…
365-169 Easy things in black and white
I was driving on a downtown road today that I regularly travel, kind of thinking of a photo subject for the day. As I was approaching a stoplight I glanced over to an old auto repair garage and saw these lightbulbs in the window next to the sidewalk. I thought they made a nice group and contrasted well with the…
365-162 A little window shopping
There is a town near where I live that has a number of small antique shops. They are fun to browse through once in a while since they not only have actual antiques, they also sell what I would classify as memorabilia. Those kitschy relics from the 50’s and 60’s. Neat junk basically. The stores were all closed when I drove by today…
