Through the Lens Today


On the way home from work, stuck in traffic, I noticed this truck with the very fancy decorations on his side-view mirror. So I took a shot (I am in that obnoxious new camera owner stage where I am taking pictures of everything - except of course people, see previous notes).


But what I really liked about this shot was the reflection of the driver. The distance and the mirror gives it a painting like quality when zoomed in (I am liking the zooming feature :) I need to get a good photo processing program to really play around with these. Any suggestions?

Lamb Shwarma for the 2nd time this week: I'm spoiled!

"Two Star Refreshment"...let's set the bar low!

"Goodwill Fashion Garmets"...and they aren't even used.

The shot that got away: the butcher shop sign "Meat Butchery" with pictures of a goat, a sheep and a camel. No beef or chicken there. And now I know where to go when the recipe calls for camel meat.

mmmm.... camel.... (Just kidding!)

So, what's the story about people not wanting their pictures taken? Is it a stealing your soul kind of thing like the Amish? Does this go the same for paintings - so, no portraits in their art galleries? So curious.
