What am I doing?


What am I doing?
Really. I conscientiously decided years ago not to learn how to shoot photos. My brother is a pro photographer johnheredia.com ; my wife can hang with best of them Set Out Running.
So why bother??
Well here I go -- I'll take the challenge, but there will be no editing of the shot, no cropping, and no use of fancy apps.
Equipment? my IPhone's camera.
Aperture? huh?
Lens? There's one in my eye, right?
That's it -- me and the IPhone and I will tell the tale of what goes on in this crazy ride of life -- at least my little part of it.

Day 10 -- Country Roads

Back at the old stomping grounds today. Always a great experience professionally and personally.
Years before I ever practiced there, Bartow County built their new courthouse. The old one remains. The gold dome.

Day Eight --This Old House

Can we build it? Yes we can?? Can we??
We embarked today on our "we will facelift the downstairs bath before Halloween" project. Complete with painting, dry walling, electrical and lots of mystery road bumps I'm sure.
The fish -- however shall remain.

Day Seven -- Idle

Finally!! The shot to remember this momentous week. We have five more weeks to go and it requires me getting up even earlier to get chile early to do the carpool hosting. But you know idle hands are the devil's workshop. Hope she doesn't pass out from all the carbon monoxide from the idling cars

Day Six -- Jennifa oh Jenny

At the High they have a new exhibit. It is basically a lot of modern art from MOMA - Warhol Picasso Pollack etc. Good stuff and if you have not had a chance to see it up where they normally live before -- well you should go.
This was a special opening night party we had been invited to. They actually had Prince Paul from De La Soul spinning the lap top for the party. He played some good ones too!!!
For unknown reasons they don't stop you from taking photos of the art. So yeah I could have taken a shot of a Mondrian but come on, he was in De La Soul!!!! Plug 4!!

Day Four -- They grow up so fast

This was supposed to be a shot of the child helping with carpool. See, when they get to a certain grade the older kids help get the kids out of the car at morning carpool. For the next 6 weeks the child's class is up. She was psyched -- I was sad. It seemed not too long ago we would talk about when she would get to do carpool.
I was going to take my shot and I looked in my rear view at a dad who was obviously agitated I was not moving on. Here's the shot I took in my haste too move along.
Oh well there is tomorrow.
And yes ...... Still waiting.

Day Three -- In A Fog

Wanted to give the blogger app a try. I know it's got mixed reviews but what a perfect thing to do when you're sitting around waiting. I often do some waiting.
Here the first Monday in October drive to school/work. That's pure precipitation clouding the way. How I feel sometimes at that hour of the morning.

Day Two -- Shiny Shiny

As some of you may know, the family spent a lot of time at the Horizon Theater this time last year -- October through December. Well we're back but for different activities this time. Ahhhh, those old familiar lights (Day 45 - 2010). Shiny Shiny!!!

Day One -- Welcome Back!!

Welcome Back! Man, has it really been over two months since Mike's Liver made an appearance?  WOW!!
So I have decided to start the year over again on the anniversary of when the "photo" blog first started.  Ahhh . . . . it seems like yesterday that it was above seasonal temperatures at Hoptoberfest and Mr. Rainey said "Hello" (see Day Numero Uno (2010)).
So in honor of "return to the blog" -- new rules.  It will still be primarily photos shot on my Iphone -- like I personally even own a camera -- but on the days I forget to get a shot or don't get a shot - so be it!! I may grab an old photo off of my IPhone; I may just blab; or it may just be a date heading. I will try to take photos daily and come close to contemporaneously posting them with comment. It's the stopping to see the world around you that may have made this even remotely interesting the first time around.
Here we go .............
Why not start at the Brick Store??? (see Day Trois (2010)). This time the air was indeed .....crisp. I don't think it even got to 60 degrees.  Pull out the coats and drink something hearty and dark. Cheers! here's to "do overs."
