Road Conditions

52Frames - Week 2 - New Technique

Went to take some photos to use for Adamski effect at a local shopping mall since today's weather was miserable.  This photo was taken on the way home in the rain/snow because I wasn't certain there were any good ones from inside the mall.

A Great Read

2022_CLondon52w31: What Are You Reading?

From the C.London website: "It could be a novel, poem, short story, or even just a blog post. For this week I want you to pull inspiration from something you’ve recently read. Try and show the viewer something about the writing that spoke to you."

From Sean Tucker's book, THE MEANING IN THE MAKING, in his closing benediction on page 318, Sean writes:  "May you 'protect your highlights' and remember to celebrate your growth as an artist and accept yourself as fundamentally good.  May your work ultimately point us toward the light."

I-94 East

I am a GPS fanatic, turning it on in the car whenever a highway trip is involved, even if I know exactly where I'm going.  I love and rely on the live traffic updates.  On rare occasion, I forget to turn it on (like this afternoon) and as a result turned a normal 20 minute drive into 60 minutes.
