Tired Kitty

My kitty gets tired at the time of day that you are willing to play with him. He is always up and about at 2am but not in the afternoon when you are home and can give him the attention he always needs. He is still a good cat and loves his “kitty hammock” that we got for him. I shot this in the afternoon inside wit hthe light coming in from our deck door.

Suzuki FA50

I have an old Suzuki FA50 Moped which has a 49cc 2 stroke motor. It is a fun little bike to ride around on but needs new tires for sure. It is still shinny and has a good look overall other then the front light bent from a crash. Was handed down from the grandfather and if I ever move closure to the city, I will ride it around for sure since it has a max of 32mph. This photo was taken in my parents backyard on a nice day.

Gasboy

I do work at various places in the state of Virginia. I deal with residential oil spills and the cleaning of it. This one house had an interesting orange gas pump that was called “Gasboy.” You tend to see a lot of old equipment at some old farms and this use to pump gasoline long ago into farm equipment.

No smoking in the Woods

I walk in a near by park that has fields and woods to enjoy. Walking in the woods, which I did much of as a kid and teenager it is peaceful and rewarding. I past this No Smoking sign that was zipped to a small pine tree. Sad to say I still saw cigarettes along the paths that zigzagged through the wooded area.

Dandelions in Farmville

For my first real post, I am sharing some of my film that I have been taking. I have been shooting with film with a Voigtlander Bessa R2 which is a rangefinder type camera. It was released in 2002 and it has an Leica M mount. I put a ltm (Leica thread mount) lens to M mount adapter to use some Canon ltm lenses that I got before hand. I will write up my opinions of the Bessa R2 once I have shot more with it.

Today’s photograph was from the Bessa R2 with a Canon ltm 50mm f/1.4 on a Fuji color 200.
