My broken Guitar

These were images of the damage done to the neck of My guitar (Ibanez RG320). Luckily, it dose not look like this now. 

Don't mind the notes.

As soon as I get the neck back on the Guitar, I'll post after images.

Imma going to try this again and see ...

 Ok, So it looks like what ever problems they had before, Blog spot may have worked out the issues. That is nice. I'd like to fire this thing back up. Been to long away and I miss it. This is an image of a very old typewriter I found at a antique store.

Stump

Is on my property and I use it many times as a Seat. It was part of a huge pecan tree from across the street that got cut down. There were two of these left behind, and I grabbed them both. I guess some day I may take an image of the other one.

Justin is finally on

My how time flies. Justin's images (at least the best ones in my humble Opinion) are finally coming to the Interwebz. This one caught him in front of the store he was working at. I thought the photo turned out pretty good.

Since Blogger is being

So odd and won't let me upload any images, I will start to use this to explain about The Images I upload and feature Here.

But first I just want again to thank Justin. He is a cool dude I met today and let me take his image quite a few times. He was up on photography some and realized when I was having lighting problems. (Not to self: Do Not try to use a white background in shade with the Fuji. Just does not work for some reason.) He was very understanding, a great model, and one in a million. Thanks Justin. He will be featured here some time soon on the Photo Blog. Just got to work him in the rotation.

So for some crazed reason I have decided to try and post an image each day for about the next year. That is how I started this Photo Blog and I guess I need to break in my new one the same way. I don't understand. I did learn a lot from the last experience, like not to ever do this type of thing again. Obviously, I have yet to fully learn that lesson well.

The lady posted today is an interesting story and I would love to tell you all the details but this might just tell enough of the details to wet your whistle. 2:27 into the Video.

Night Sky 2

Something interesting took place with this next series of Night time images. Very far to the right side just below one of the Power Lines you will see some red light. That is a helicopter as it is entering into these next few shots. The length of the red light is the length of the copter's flight between when the camera first opened up to take the image and when it closed.

My Ibanez Guitar and some "Toys"

This is my baby right now. I've had this for about 2 years and haven't played it nearly enough. The metal boxes are what I call Toys. They allow you to put some major changes to how the guitar sounds before the sound gets to the amplifier. I have had those toys for about 30 years. If they could talk, what stories they would tell.

Another Night Shot

Of East Bakersfield.

East Bakersfield at night

Just east of Union Ave. It was trying to rain on me and I had to rush the shot a bit. I believe the red flare at the end of the street is a car's brake light. There wasn't anything there glowing like that when I took the shot.

Cool rides

More of the same from that Saturday Morning.

Hood slats

Another Tasty Rod I found One Saturday Morning. I wish all my Saturday morning were this productive shot wise.

Watching the Sunset

He seemed to be far off in some distant place staring off into our sunset. It was a nice one.

Abstract 6

This is an exercise in abstract Macro work using diffused lighting. Prior to this shot, I have either used the light provided or used the camera's light and never tried to manipulate the light in any manner. I am going to start experimenting with the manipulation of light and see what I can come up with. I'm starting out on a small scale right now.

I am unfortunately very familiar with the subject Material. It is used to separate daily your medicine intake, at least as far as pills are concerned.

Brothers

I was being dared to take their Picture. I told em I wasn't afraid of them.

Beads on a stool

A still life Image I created while setting up the Christmas tree.

An Image from Christamas

It is more of an artistic representation, meaning that yes, its blurry and out of focus, but I like the colors. We actually have a Fake Christmas tree that rotates and that is what gives the effect.
