I am still recovering from my shoulder surgery. My arm is in a sling and I have a few more weeks to go. I am still uncomfortable much of the time but my physical therapist says I am doing good. So, all this make it very frustrating being a photographer and not being able to lift a camera. I’m going nuts. So, I ventured out this past weekend with my friend and shooting buddy Debra and went for a drive. I shot everything on an iPhone. Even that was difficult left handed but I was shooting none the less. So today’s image was from on of our first stops. There are more images coming. This is an old tractor parked in the front yard of some farmer. It was one of those crisp colorful days and the tractor worked into it well. I used the Hipstamatic camera to catch this shot. Hope you enjoy it.

Fall Colors
Well it’s been a few weeks since my surgery and I just had to get out of the house. Not being able to lift a camera has been driving me crazy too. I will recover and get my strength in my shoulder back, but there comes a time where you just have to take some steps. On Sunday I ventured out with my friend Debra and we took a journey south and found some fall colors and waterfalls. The day was just perfect and the colors were just hitting peak. I ended up shooting the iPhone left handed. Yeah, pretty pathetic considering I wanted to shoot the big boy IQ180 the whole time. In any case I was able to get some nice images. Here is one. And as a bonus, I got to visit with my youngest son Scott in Bloomington. He’s looking good!
Seeing Different
I am still recovering from the rotator cuff injury and the most frustrating thing is I can’t lift a camera. I am going out for a drive today to shoot and I will use my iPhone. The picture above was shot with an iPhone and then jazzed up a bit on my iPad. It’s of a statue ( community art) in my town Carmel, IN. It’s just a fun shot showing how with cropping and some playing with camera angle you can come up with an unusual shot.
Dashboard
Here’s another image made at the car show this weekend. It’s of a dashboard of a sports car. Worked it a bit on the iPad.
There may be a few days without posts. I am headed in for shoulder and knee surgery tomorrow and expect to be somewhat incapacitated for a few days. I’m sure it will all be fine but time to get these injuries fixed. Back to you soon.
Big Block
Today’s image was made yesterday at the Carmel, indiana – Artmobilia. a day of shutting down the city streets and brining in hundreds of collector’s cars. A great day with good light, great weather and hanging out with some fun photographer friends. I shot many images some with the iPhone and some with my other cameras. This is a shot done with the iPhone of a big engine. I enhanced it my iPad.
Alabama Jacks
It’s time to switch it up and move to other material then Palouse images. I have plenty more of great Palouse images and you’ll see those over the coming weeks. A few weeks ago I took a holiday with my oldest son and traveled from Naples area to the FL Keys together. It was an extremely good time. One of the stops we made while traveling through the Keys was a bar known as Alabama Jacks. Great food right on the water the place had a special kind of charm. I have my iPhone with me so I shot a fe images and then worked on them on my iPad. Here’s one of my favorites.
Light Bulb
One of the cool things about the Palouse is there are a lot of old things just left sitting out. I found an old barn and in this barn was an old truck, tools and all sorts of cool stuff. Magazines dated back to 1945. What a place. I shot the heck out of this place and you will see more photos. This one is so simple it works. A light bulb. An old light hanging from the ceiling. I hope you like the subtly of it.
Harvest Time
I am about to leave the Palouse after a terrific workshop. The attendees were great and the photography was outstanding. So much fun and a lot of great new friends. I don’t even know where to begin to describe this event and the images made during the event. All good. You’ll se more here over the coming weeks. Today’s image is what the Palouse is all about. The harvest of wheat and other crops. It is an amazing place and you just have to explore it, take a dirt road and see where it leads you. The light is magical and the landscape goes on forever.

Another View
The other day I post a spectacular sunset shot. Today I post the pano version of the same sunset. My son and I were driving down the US1 Highway in the FL, Keys heading to Marathon. We had to pull over and shoot this. iPhone shot stitched and then enhances a bit on the iPad. This stuff is so much fun.
Sunset Over Marathon
Last evening i was visiting some friends in Marathon, FL. This is one of my friends that I have stayed in touch with from High School and she has been working for years in keys with Dolphin. On the way there the sun was setting and I had my oldest son Kevin Jr. with me. And at his urging we pulled over and did a number of captures of a most magnificent sunset. This one shot jazzed up a bit in SnapSpeed on my iPad. IT was a very spectacular sunset!
