And I totally get what you're saying about ordinary things making extraordinary photos. There's <I>interest</I> in them. What stories could this old car or house or broken down fence tell?<BR/><BR/>Just yesterday I was down in < sarcastic >lovely< /sarcastic > Jacksonville, NC for a dog trial a friend of mine was competing in. The trial was at a sod farm graciously lent (or perhaps rented, I don't really know) to the club for the purpose and since I had time to kill before the competition started I went over to what I could only call the "in house junkyard". When I got back my friend asked if I'd found any interesting things to take pictures of. My response was "Oh yeah! Rusty junk always makes interesting photos". She found that amusing, but I was completely serious.<BR/><BR/>Found a few shadows along the way too. <A HREF="http://mojo11.blogspot.com/2008/12/thematic-photographic-27-shadow-v50.html" REL="nofollow">One of which</A> found its way to publication already.<BR/><BR/>And for those who may have missed it, I got another one as a by product of another project I was working on for a different friend. I was particularly pleased with the results of that one actually.<BR/><A HREF="http://mojo11.blogspot.com/2008/12/thematic-photographic-27-shadow-v40.html" REL="nofollow">Thematic Photographic 27: "Shadow" v.4.0 - "Shadowy Corners"</A>Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-56801182646889117132008-12-07T13:42:00.000-05:002008-12-07T13:42:00.000-05:00If you are the most threatening thing he has to de...If you are the most threatening thing he has to deal with -- then he doesn't need to be able to run Ha!<BR/><BR/>I haven't figured out how to take night shots.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404943895800549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-11249370863728551902008-12-07T09:46:00.000-05:002008-12-07T09:46:00.000-05:00Hello CarmiGreat photograph and story.My contribut...Hello Carmi<BR/>Great photograph and story.<BR/><BR/>My contribution for Shadow, can be found at my photo blog.<BR/><BR/>http://snapshotsfromthebackporch.blogspot.com/2008/12/shadows.html<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for visiting the Back Porch.

Just the other day I passed an embassy that had one old guy standing in the cold as their security guard. No guard shack, nothing. They can afford this guy who stands and looks "menacing".Lucy Filethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06101962728153916202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-43967404460055344552008-12-07T01:59:00.000-05:002008-12-07T01:59:00.000-05:00I think that it is probably hard to find people to...I think that it is probably hard to find people to work the graveyard shifts on security detail - so theya take whomever they can get (fat or fit).kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-9642272087074306152008-12-07T00:59:00.000-05:002008-12-07T00:59:00.000-05:00Have you ever photographed Simon Fraser University...Have you ever photographed Simon Fraser University??
