Umbrellas

The only umbrellas I own go on my flashes. They work great for dispersing light, but they are not much good for keeping rain off me. I’ve never found a need for a rain repelling umbrella in our arid climate, and, besides, in New Mexico, I believe an umbrella acts more as a lightning rod that a cover to keep you dry. France is another story, you really need to have an umbrella in France, and, fortunately, Sophie lent us umbrellas when we where in Aix, and there was one in the apartment that we rented in Paris.

Project Cars

The blogger one man and his mustang – ’66 restoration project mentioned that he had the first frost last night, which prompted me to comment that we had been getting frost almost every night since the 3rd week in September. I also mentioned that we have several project cars. He replied that he would like to see photos of our project cars. I remembered I had done some on a frosty morning about 3 years ago, but when I found them, all I got of nearly complete cars in the frost were front views of the ’66 VW and the 1980 280 ZX (Tristan and David have the 280 ZX pretty well restored now). I only got parts of the ’76 Sun Bug and the 1960 Rambler in the frosty morning shoot, so the photo with Tiffany leaning on the hood of the Sun Bug shows the best shot I have of back of the Rambler behind her, besides the closeup of the trunk handle in the lead photo. The only photo of the Sun Bug in toto that I could find is one done by Susan Graham when we were having the houses torn down, that she has on her blog for her Photography Master Cup Nominations on February 19th of this year.

Spooky Side of Aix

We walked around Aix in the rain all day on May 18th. The wet, gray weather added to the erie starkness of the old Castaño trees lining the edge of a park. Death followed a poor soul through the streets, and the moonlight in the clearing night sky lit an ancient church on our walk home late in the night. Aix-en-Provence, May 18, 2013.

iPhone Animals

Often, when the kitties and birds are being cute, I pull out a camera and they cease being cute. But when I pulled out the iPhone (not the usual camera) Rosencrantz and René just stuck their faces in it.
