The Giant Wheel at the Evergreen State Fair is illuminated behind the Fun n Games concession.
This is the one shot of the Giant Wheel and Fun n Games that worked for me this year. †his image does have some retinal rivalry but I think it serves to give the image a bit of action and adds to the image.
Lighthouse on the Oregon Coast near Bandon
I didn’t get as many photo stops as I would have liked on my drive home from the NSA Convention in Costa Mesa. But I did find this cute lighthouse on the Oregon coast.
The lion Fortitude at the NYC Public Library after a snowfall.
The 2 lions at the NY Public Library have been called the most beloved pieces of public art in the city. Their names are Patience and Fortitude. This is a portrait of Fortitude the morning after a snowfall that paralyzed the area. It doesn’t look like a lot of snow but it hit the airports hard and our flight out was pushed back by more than a week.
Motion in the froth at Poipu Beach, Kaua'i
This is my favorite photo I’ve ever taken of moving water. The motion of the froth makes it look (to me) like a painting. Taken on the island of Kaua’i at (or near) Poipu beach. Twin Hasselblad 500Cs with 50mm lenses.
I’m uploading these pics on J’s (James Mutch) behalf. Provia 100.

I think this is also Ilford Delta 100, processed by DR5. My nephew Chris at a skate park in Victoria BC. I shot a whole roll, got one clear shot. I think this was F16 – I was waiting for the moment just before gravity kicks in.
This is a grab shot at Vancouver’s Granville Market. Taken with a TL120, I think F11. Ilford Delta 100, processed by DR5
I submitted an almost identical picture to the IMF Folio, but found this one later. In the other picture the chickadee is not sharp.
This was taken at ‘The Pinery’ provincial park near Lake Huron Ontario, Canada. In February, there should be snow, but it was warm and spring like. This was shot with the TL120 on SCALA and processed by Century film
I took this picture while on a bicycle trip with some friends. This is somewhere near Paris, Ontario. I don’t recall any of the details, camera used etc.
The place: Addicks Dam ( & reservoir), Houston, about 3 miles from my house.
Time: winter (notice trees)
Camera: Lopp-ified spud on tripod
I will say we can have some pretty cool sunsets here. This is a favorite place for hiking and fishing. Not sure if the fishing is any good. Since it is so close to our house we frequently go here. The Addicks Reservoir and Addicks Dam in conjunction with the Barker Reservoir prevent downstream flooding of Buffalo Bayou in the City of Houston. In addition to the Reservoir’s flood damage reduction mission, recreation and nature observation opportunities abound through the approximately 26,000 acres (105 km²) of land that makes up Addicks and Barker reservoirs.
The place: Ohio Pass, Colorado
The time: September 2011
The weather: sunny
The camera: my trusty Lopp-ified spud!
We spent 17 days traveling in northern New Mexico, southeastern Utah and western Colorado. The tress were just beginning to turn and we saw some spectacular scenery. A far cry from the mesquite and pine trees here in Texas.
The place: Bear Creek Park in Houston.
The year: around 2003
The weather: sunny and nice
The camera: Lopp-fied spud
This is a popular park about 8 miles north of where I live. Taken in the winter as evidenced by the naked trees. Not much more to say about this.
The year: 2005
The place: Buffalo River National Park, Arkansas
The weather: very foggy and smoky.
Established in 1972, Buffalo National River flows freely for 135 miles and is one of the few remaining undammed rivers in the lower 48 states. Once you arrive, prepare to journey from running rapids to quiet pools while surrounded by massive bluffs as you cruise through the Ozark Mountains down to the White River.
It is a spectacular place. However, the area was in drought conditions when we took our trip. People who were canoeing had to portage their craft in many places. No motor craft is allowed on the river. Also, there were wildfires in New Mexico with the smoke traveling northward. Most of Arkansas was smoke shrouded that summer. We did not do a water trip and saw very few people in canoes. We had a good trip in spite of the weather conditions.
The Buffalo River is connected to the White River, which is connected to the Mississippi, and laps up on the beach of the Gulf states.
The image was shot with the Lopp-ofied spud.
