Preserved Peculiarities

McHenry, IL

On a photowalk, we wandered into this shop and was struck by the variety of weird stuff.  The sign doesn't lie!  The 2nd shot was the weirdest scene of them all.  Encased in a glass box, it was for sale.  If you're in the area, check it out.

2024_CLondon52_January: Setting Goals - Main Photographic Goal for the Year

With a South African trip planned for later this year, my main goal is to learn the basics of wildlife photography to maximize the potential for great safari photos.  I shot this photo for practice with the new 50-400mm lens, handheld.
