When were you in Pacoima?? Better not have been recently...
Another very fine, gritty shot!

Wings It was. I'm planning a trip to Death Valley. maybe soon, maybe after I get back from Asia.

Clyde Beamer Death Valley is done now till November, IMO. Way to fucking hot now till way deep into the Fall.

Clyde Beamer SO you were in Pacoima "recently" and didn't call me!!! You know I work about 10 miles from there...

always genius...:)

Wings Thanks Hari. I'll try to recharge my brain cells. I'm going to add my rejects to my journal and continue to write. NOt because they got rejected but I feel I need to tell stories.

I'm drawn to this one Wings - Americana, latin style! Nicely done!

Wings Oh My God. Kevin it is you . Thanks. To get you to be drawn to an image of mine is wonderful. Well thank you. Lets see what I do before 2012 month December. The end of the world as we know it. :))) You are the first person I ever talked to here.

I have to say that If you did not write the story beneath the photo, I would have gotten a totally different story out of this.

The woman and even man look very concerned like if something bad had happened and they can only wait for more news.

Image quality does not look at its best, but the image itself is very strong, reminding us of what photography is about.

Wings Fadi, I love to write. As long as my fingers keep up with my brain. I try no to leave a spot . You know drive bye AKA 47 Nikon d3 of Cannon whatever. People can be like dogs in the wrong hood . You might get a shot and feel accomplished, but look again and you got mad dogs coming at you thinking you disrespected them. Society is strange. You can play at the local Sunday market where you and your friends go, or you can walk slowly and talk with people and find what they care about.. Thanks for enjoying the shot. It is about life and that is what I am about until I die.

The descriptions and story behind the images are always as much of the art as the art imagery. Realography at its best.

Wings Mont I'm trekking in the Rockies right now. I was in a town called Slida and I met this Guy from Texas and looks like he's your forgotten Brother. I'll post it you know where.
Thanks for the new term word Realography. I like it.

Mont Sherar Rockies? you mean in Colorado or BC? I'm from the Rockies myself in BC. Grew up on a cattle ranch and had to shovel shit and drive trucks from the age of 5....My own life would have made for a perfect Realographic experience for you no doubt ;-))) Yep, shovelin' shit, packin' the silage, inseminating the cows.... shearin' the sheep, you name it

the way of processing but even more the power of story told " I am from Wings" :-) Congrats a great capture

Wings As you know I've always said we must broaden our likes and remember the masters that made our world come true , should not and will not be forgotten by me and I hope by all once they make it to a book store , or start going to galleries and visually rediscover what they have missed. I'm grateful to be me and know my thoughts like yours are more than meaningless. You rock and thank you.
