Abandoned Ford

Lycan, Colorado

Ford - Lycan, Colorado - August 2009. We were heading south, then turned west at Lycan towards Two Buttes. Before going far, I spied an old Ford out in a field. At first, I thought it used to be a convertible. I never got a look at the 8-cylinder engine . . . snakes can be a problem out here. Canon 5D w/24-60mm Sigma and Panasonic DMC-X2.

Genetic Engineering

I Knew It Would Come to This . . . 31 August 2009. Rocky Ford, Colorado. Imagine what is going on inside - the creation of giant, quivering expanses of LIVER. . . Oh the horror! Canon 5D w/12-24mm Sigma.

Oklahoma Aquarium

Jenks, Oklahoma

Oklahoma Aquarium - 24 August 2009 - Fifteen dollars and twenty cents was a trifle steep – and I’d certainly never go there again. It was OK for what it is – but nothing beats lofting over a reef – and being enveloped by an explosion of color as thousands of fish swirl around. That’s scuba diving – and good as this place was – it wasn't scuba diving. Canon 5D w/24-60mm Sigma.

Free Speech - Nelsonville, Ohio

Free Speech - Nelsonville, Ohio - October 2007. Somebody with red paint and some spare trailers was mighty angry about something. Leica M2 w/15mm F:4.5 Voigtlander.

Sweet Smell of Success - Artesia, New Mexico

Artesia, New Mexico - 08 August 2004 - Just north of Artesia, I stopped and got a good picture of the Chamber of Commertce sign that states “The Sweet Smell of Success - ARTESIA.” Yes - that IS an oil refinery smack dab in the middle of town. I guess if you are in to huffing gasoline - this would be a wonderful place. . . Nikon FE2 w/35-70mm Sigma.
