This is a closed-up Jeep dealership, a victim of the auto industry problems. http://4x6.my-expressions.com/archives/932_1200716553/344292 heydad2 2010-03-19T21:12:32Z 2010-03-19T21:12:32Z <a href="http://4x6.my-expressions.com/archives/932_1200716553/344292" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1137/pblog/916/1269048073.jpg"/></a><br> Ironton, Ohio Some of us visited Ironton tonight and had a good dinner at a local spot, then took a short photowalk. This photo was taken as dusk which gives that blue cast to the sky. I have just a couple more from the walk, then it became too dark. I think we lingered too long over the fajitas but the conversations were well worth it. Thanks for visiting. http://4x6.my-expressions.com/archives/932_1200716553/344217 heydad2 2010-03-18T01:27:19Z 2010-03-18T01:27:19Z <a href="http://4x6.my-expressions.com/archives/932_1200716553/344217" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1137/pblog/916/1268890360.jpg"/></a><br> The scene reminded me of something that William Eggleston would shoot. http://4x6.my-expressions.com/archives/932_1200716553/344189 heydad2 2010-03-17T02:05:40Z 2010-03-17T02:05:40Z <a href="http://4x6.my-expressions.com/archives/932_1200716553/344189" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1137/pblog/916/1268805945.jpg"/></a><br> somewhere in Greenup County Kentucky The sun was supposed to come out in the evening, so I took off driving across the backroads of the neighboring counties soon after lunch. This was the first time that I navigated a trip with a GPS and unknown to me, someone had set the machine to not ever suggest a U-turn. Because of that, if you missed a turn it would say 'recalculating' and then tell you to go straight ahead as if you were right on track. Finally, after 5 miles of curvy roads, it would find a road that would loop you back in the direction that you came from. So a lot of wasted time but the sun never came out, so nothing was lost. Our local camera club has a category for Enhanced Photographic Art and this image was another attempt to come up with a painterly effect. After working on it for some time, it began to look more and more like a photograph and I think I ended up with nearly the same image that I started with, so maybe I'll just not try it anymore. There's a few mistakes there that a rank beginner wouldn't do, but I got tired and decided just to post what I ended up with. The sun is supposed to come out tomorrow. http://4x6.my-expressions.com/archives/932_1200716553/344165 heydad2 2010-03-16T00:49:05Z 2010-03-16T00:49:05Z <a href="http://4x6.my-expressions.com/archives/932_1200716553/344165" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1137/pblog/916/1268715159.jpg"/></a><br> Huntington Museum of Art Huntington, West Virginia In this image, Fred poses beside of one of the enlargers in the museum's darkroom. The darkroom is nice, though rarely used nowadays. A b&w image seemed most appropriate. http://4x6.my-expressions.com/archives/932_1200716553/344050 heydad2 2010-03-13T18:51:29Z 2010-03-13T18:51:29Z <a href="http://4x6.my-expressions.com/archives/932_1200716553/344050" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1137/pblog/916/1268520693.jpg"/></a><br> Huntington, West Virginia From time to time, I write up interview articles for the local camera club. This month, the victim/subject is the long term member Fred Huff. I shot this photograph in the local museum's darkroom, which is named for a late founding member Willis Cook. http://4x6.my-expressions.com/archives/932_1200716553/343863 heydad2 2010-03-07T18:14:28Z 2010-03-07T18:14:28Z <a href="http://4x6.my-expressions.com/archives/932_1200716553/343863" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1137/pblog/916/1268000742.jpg"/></a><br> Portsmouth, Ohio Thanks for the comments and words of wisdom on yesterday's photo.

Fakery or just another way to use photography? http://4x6.my-expressions.com/archives/932_1200716553/343756 heydad2 2010-03-05T22:27:59Z 2010-03-05T22:27:59Z <a href="http://4x6.my-expressions.com/archives/932_1200716553/343756" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1137/pblog/916/1267756083.jpg"/></a><br> Pendleton Art Center Ashland, Kentucky It's time for the First Friday Art Walk in downtown Ashland. Have dinner and spend some time from 5pm to 9pm visiting the Pendleton, the Upstairs Gallery, and the other downtown art businesses. The Pendleton now has new hours and will be open on the Saturday night following the First Friday Art Walk. http://4x6.my-expressions.com/archives/932_1200716553/343712 heydad2 2010-03-03T17:45:15Z 2010-03-03T17:45:15Z <a href="http://4x6.my-expressions.com/archives/932_1200716553/343712" style="border:0;"><img src="http://my-expressions.com/up_media/1137/pblog/916/1267652718.jpg"/></a><br> Ironton, Ohio Shot on the way to photography class last night
