Junk?
While I was shooting at the classic car expo, I came across a stall selling old workshop tools. The seller wanted to know why I was taking pictures of “my junk”. Well, old tools have history. They tell a story, and they leave questions behind. Who owned these tools, what were they used for, how did they end up here, what was fixed or made using these tools?
Junk? I don’t think so.

Sometimes you need to have some fun, enjoy the process and not worry too much about the outcome. So when I saw that my Christmas tree lights had not yet been put away, I plugged them in, took out my camera, set it on a low shutter speed and did some finger painting!
The results are a little abstract and trivial, but I had loads of fun, and sometimes that is what it is all about.
Although thinking about it, the bright lights in front of a black background could be an omen on the future of the SOAP bill; I hope so.
Here are a few more of the pictures.
The soaring Eagabbit
About 2 months ago, I posted a picture of a white Rabbit. I was slightly startled yesterday to receive an email from Jesusdragon737, telling me that he had used the photo as a basis for some serious photoshopping. And the picture placed 3rd in a photo manipulation contest.
Above is Eagabbit, and below my original picture.
Amazing what you can do with digital manipulation.

We were there for a picnic to celebrate a friend’s birthday, you are welcome to take your own picnics, but they also have two wonderful restaurants.

I took this picture on a whim of somebody taking some notes at a Toastmasters meeting. I am not sure why, but I quite like the unplanned setting, the folded glasses and blue pen, with the writing hand in the background.
