Taking a walk 9-12-15

I took a walk on Saturday since I was holding a meetup but no one showed because I guess “weather” so I went walking around exploring some alleys and checking out the non-stop stickers that are all over the city, especially on signs. I will have to do a series of these stickers on signs someday. I was walking around in Jackson Ward area of Richmond.

Taken with my XPro-1 with the 27mm lens.

Stop! slapping stickers on the sign. Like the Astro boy one…

It isn’t just on signs but walls, poles and electric boxes.

Nice dead end with the mural there, right next tot he park…

Thanks for taking a stop by to look.

Richmond Mural Walk part 1

September 13, 2015

A few weeks ago I held a walk in my city where we hunted down some murals that have been painting on the side of some buildings. It was fun as I wasn’t looking just for murals as my group is street photography focused. Was a great day with great weather. Was about 8 of us.

Photo’s taken with my XPro-1 with the 27mm 2.8 and 35mm 1.4

Some of the murals are brand new down there as of this Summer and some have been up for a few years, all pretty cool to see…The artist are from ll over the world and there is one that is a local boy…
Looking into a restaurant… Cook having a quick smoke before the lunch crowd comes on in…

This murals is pretty cool, there is an explosion that is bursting out of his cranium…

Taking the dog for a ride… They wanted to become famous so I took their picture…

Thanks for taking a look!

Down the Book Shelves

I held a short walk in Staunton Virginia a little while ago where we met at the Camera Heritage Museum which is the largest public camera collection anyone can see in the country. Pretty cool but they need more space and have been trying to get money donated to get a nice place so they can display more. They have so much cameras, some that are awesome from what I hear that are always donated to the place but they have to store it because there just isn’t the space to display. They are appreciative of the camera donations but they do need the money as well to have a better museum. They list a lot of duplicate cameras they get for sale to raise the money. I bought some expired and out of production film from them, they do have a eBay store. As I was walking around Staunton I saw this antique store with a row of used books in a tight hall.

Traveling up Fushimi Inari-taisha

August 29, 2015 — Leave a comment

The Fushimi Inari-taisha is a shrine that is for the Fox god. The hike up is splendid if you can make it early where you see hardly anyone and its serine. It can be long so be ready though older people do it a lot as you will see heading up the mountain. The tori gates keep going up and up the mountain and the trail will follow through them. It is almost in everyone ones plans that is visiting the city of Kyoto to go here and see the thousands of them. This was my 3rd visit early in the morning.

Have a swing

I went to the Eastern Shore for work yesterday but had my girlfriend ride along since she had the day off. The day was perfect even though I was “sorta” working. Grabbed some seafood and ice cream and went to the beach for awhile.

This was taken while working at a house. They had a lovely swing with English ivy all around the tree!
