Wow, it’s been a long time since I last posted. I’m still having issues with my eyes and have severely cut down on my online time, thus no posting. I wanted to get another post in before the end of the year, though.

Well, those couple of weeks off lasted longer than I had expected. And they are still continuing. I’ve realized that, due to an ongoing health issue with my eyes, that I need to drastically reduce my time using my computer and thus being online for the time being. So I will occasionally post and try to visit other blogs, but only infrequently. I don’t know when, or if, I’ll get back to posting and visiting every day.

Here is another of the soft focus flower macros. I’m going to take at least a couple of weeks off, so I’ll leave this with you. I need to decompress and take a break from things, including some travel.

News: I have two photos in the Sacred Places group show, running through September 30, 2011 at the SPS Photography Gallery in Sammiches N’ Stuff, 515-A N. McDonough St., Decatur, GA 30030. I am featured on the Mamiya Blog. I have 4 images in the TOYCAM: low-fi photography book.

The passage of time isn’t always kind

Here is one final image from the metal scrap yard. I’ll be back on Monday with something else.

In the racks

There were these metal racks just stacked at the scrap yard. I like how they looked with a shallow DOF. Although I shot this with color film, I thought it looked better in B&W. Almost done with images from the metal scrap yard.

A time of rust

I think the rust was taking over this piece of metal.

At the corner

This is at the edge of a dumpster looking along its side and another dumpster behind it.

An old red dumpster

One of the old weathered dumpsters at the scrap yard.

Christmas decorations at the scrap yard

These colors remind me of the Christmas holiday season.

To a point

Let’s go back to the scrap metal yard. I liked how this one bit of paint had curled to a point and stuck straight out.
