After weeks of frigid weather it’s amazing how 35 degrees Fahrenheit can feel positively warm — a nod to relativity. The scooter spent considerable time in the garage this week but this morning I dragged it to the road. Nice ride into town to drink tea and talk photography.
I had more prints to show today. The 11×14 prints don’t really fit well on the Vespa. They ride in a grocery bag hung from the purse hook. Looking at that sentence I realize why I’ll probably never be a Harley rider.
Wandering towards Saint’s Cafe I find an opportunity for a self portrait in the window of a local optometrist. Still not making selfies but maybe this is a step in that direction.
Paul Ruby, fresh off a cruise to the Bahamas, inspects the 35mm contact sheets from the past couple weeks. I notice that the older you get the closer the contacts get to your face. I’ll have to start shooting larger formats to compensate for old eyes.
Science fiction writer Daryl Gregory makes an appearance at the left of this picture. I’ve known him a long time now having met him when he and my wife worked together on a writing gig. He gave her the name, “Fireball”.
One of the 3 Prints Project prints from this week — my Belgian Sheepdog Junior on a snowy path at the Pennsylvania Military Museum. Not sure when this was taken — an image on the last three rolls of film left to be processed this week. Now I have to shoot some new rolls of film.
This is youngest daughter and Yamaha Vino scooter rider Aleta inspecting the ducks at Talleyrand Park in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. I think this photo was made either right before or right after breakfast at Cafe on the Park.
A tree that caught my attention at Black Moshannon State Park. I have many tree photos that caught my eye.
On the way home, a last stop before a mountain of chores and some editing on a manuscript for work. For a few moments I considered riding on past the house, down the road, keep going into the afternoon. But the grown-up side of me took control.
Until next week…
