Another picture taken while walking the dog. I liked the textured tracks; the way that they curve away into the distance and thought that a low angle would work well.
Tire Tracks
Snowman
On our way to a Garden Club meeting we passed this snowman standing by the side of the road. Couldn’t resist. Loved the cap and the golf club.
Mailbox in the Snow
Another ‘dog walk’ picture. We’d walked around the lake and I’d noticed the mailbox and the footprints in the snow receding towards the building in the background so I took a picture of it. I guess I was a bit tired after the walk an didn’t look at the resulting image. When I got home I put the pictures on the computer for editing and discovered that the framing was off – far too tight. So I went back and tried again.
Panda Face
My wife had gone to her dance class and I was walking the dog around the parking lot when I noticed this snowy truck wheel. Somehow I saw a panda face in the pattern of the wheel nuts on the snow. I didn’t have a camera with my and so had to resort to my old iPhone 3GS.

Wasn’t she gorgeous. She still is!
In addition to the constant snow it’s also gotten extremely cold. I also recently fell on the ice and hurt my back so I’m disinclined to go out at all at the moment. So instead I’ve turned to one of my outstanding projects: to scan my old negatives and slides. This one is from a Kodak Ektachrome slide. The camera would have been either a Minolta Hi-Matic 7sII or a Canon AE-1. I don’t remember which. I recall that I was experimenting with soft focus at the time and I believe that this was taken with a black nylon stocking over the lens.
