Sunrise, from my bedroom window :

 

The Santa Ana Cathedral, in El Salvador





Orange-Carrot-Ginger drink





A Salvadorian "Tampiqueña"





A walk through the street market

Straw fine.

 

Straw fine.

Down here people are beginning to use biodegradable plastic straws, made from avocado seeds. One hardly notices the difference. The world needs to change its habits around single-use plastic.

 

I love a tampiquena! Man that looks good.

Please pass on my compliments for capturing that shot. Very nice.

 

Just an iPhone shot of a beautiful, cool morning in early spring from the third floor dormer overlooking the river.

 

Second attempt to cook some sausages. Delicious locally made sausages... Day prior tried to salvage forest wood. 3 hours later nursing small fire managed to cook one for 2 people. The joys of living in a rain foredt where even after a month of unprecedented dry weather everything is still sagurated with moisture. The picture is us giving up and coming back with a fes dry logs I had left over from last summer camping season. Success! My dog worked hard against us by shacking water off herself into the fire

 

Picture for today. Reflecting pools at the Ball Band building in Mishawka, IN at dawn.

That really is a stunning shot. Besides being 'perfect', there's something special about the pose of the main character. It doesn't just like a creepy bug, it appears to be looking back and pondering the camera.

Pondering? He looks pretty damn angry to me.

Like, lookin' for a fight angry.

Edit: could be 'cause I'm drinking beer right now.

No I agree there’s an inherent look of “who you lookin’ at?”.

 

An attempt at a "still life".


@Yaakov or anyone else...you ever try these?

 

A rare, "I'm happy with this one"

I've never tired to shoot a classic still life, but I have done a lot of product photography. I might give it a go when I get my shooting table together.

 

Picture for the day.

Overflight during a Notre Dame game (though quite far from the stadium). The was one of four similar planes. I don't have details. It was about ¼ mile away.

My Canon 199A Speedlite arrived today! Seller claimed "tested working" but it wasn't. Battery corrosion on the terminals from a leak meant it couldn't have been tested but, after some cleaning, it does in fact work very well. It's very cool on the A-1, not only because it is a good working flash of the right vintage, but because it's actually a very good one with bounce and a 66 guide number, and it works with the A-1 logic and controls the camera exactly as it is supposed to.

For less than 30 bucks, I am very happy. I love my film cameras, and Canon SLRs from my younger days have a special place in my heart.

RAF, could be a Miles Magister by the look of it.
