Great photo's and banter. Glad to contact Reagan to have him check in. We talks from time to time so I don't notice him missing as much as some of you do.
Leighton, the Thanksgiving shots bring home the value of the day. Even if you live somewhere that does not have the US holiday one needs to have a special day to give thanks for what we have and share those moments with family and friends
There should be many days like that.
Jay are those Fort Moultrie? Can't remember but look familiar.
Andy I always enjoy your work.
Ben there is a bird in that photo. Terrific luck!
These are from September taken in Mason City, Utah. Famous for it's the last stop Buddy Holly played on the night he died. The other famous thing is the Park Hotel, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. We stayed there and Wright's fondness for low ceilings and narrow hall ways were evident. He was a short man, some say 5'4"-5''6" even the built in benches are low.
One thing he got terribly wrong was the flat glass ceiling above the room that can be seen in the second shot. Now fixed it leaked horribly from accumulation of melting snow. So much so the room, then a restaurant had to be closed.
The Hotel allowed cameras but a nearby house forbade them, encouraging you to purchase phots and post cards from the gift shop.
I am a big fan of FLW. I have always thought it would be a fun project to photograph his lesser known work. There is one house in Houston and the story goes that he insisted the air vent were located in the floor. The owner and contractor balked but he stood firm but floor vents don't work well in the Houston heat.

Same here! We live in Lakeland Fl. and Florida Southern College was designed by Wright and represents the largest display of his work. Offices, classrooms, chapel, music hall as well as very low profile covered walkways to protect you from the Florida sun while walking on Campus. Quite a place and under constant restoration.
At Thanksgiving my 102 year old mother got to hold her sixth great grand child Phineas Edward, or Finn for short. All I had was my phone, but it has a 64 megapixel camera that is really quite good. I hope all of you will have good health in the coming year, and that you will have more to be thankful for than you can remember.
Two subjects I revisit - decay, and sunflowers - 105mm f4.0 ais micro
Mark Thanks, guess I'll shoot anything! White birds are snowy egrets, the wind gives them a distinctive look.
That cat shows superior intelligence parking next to the Food!
Ken This is Fort Desoto, where you can photograph birds, guns and fish for free! You are lucky to have so many FLW buildings nearby.

Jay, That old stairway looks like a building in Lakeland!

It's all relative Rafael - my entire flat could fit into your swimming pool, actually my bathroom is about the size of your hot tub, so yeah, that looks about right. Nice deck.
Can't see Thanksgiving taking off here, but the serious eating season is about to begin, and it extends into February when it's Carnivale and the special Carnivale cakes arrive, so we have plenty to be thankful for.
Has anyone been watching the new Beatles documentary "Get Back"? In it both Linda and the official photographer are using Nikon. It's 1968 so they're pre-AI with the scalloped focussing rings. They're in Rafael condition, but then they would have been new then. It's interesting to see young people using them as the latest and greatest and now they're "vintage".

I haven't seen it yet, but I heard it's really good. Linda was a big time Nikon user.
Looks like the lady in your pic has her eye on you. Are you threatening looking?

It's amazing Leighton. It's hard to believe it was 53 years ago. They're so young and this footage puts you there with them as they recorded what were to be the last 2 albums.
And no, I'm not the slightest bit threatening. I think she was looking at my shorts. In any case, I'm very grateful for that look.

Well, I guess we don't really know for sure, as we have never seen you. Hint hint.
Taken with the 55 f3.5 Ai'd. Thanks for looking.
