Friday Foto: Jeepless and colorless


Good morning folks. Another week flown by, that's crazy. Time seems to be flying by lately. I can't believe it's almost halfway through September. So, today's picture is just a little glimpse of a project I'm working on. I won't delve too much into it, for fear of getting scooped by somebody, but I'm pretty excited about it. This particular image I'm very proud of. It is a true infrared image. I bought a couple rolls of infrared film before I left for Italy and have been experimenting with them. I took some shots in Italy and finished up a some of the frames here. I sent the film off to a lab in Atlanta and got the negatives back early this week. I then scanned them into the computer with a film scanner and that's it. I haven't done anything to these images yet. I LOVE the dynamic range in this shot. I have more shots that are just as good I think, and as soon as I get my collection together you'll be first to know my friends.

So, onto the jeepless part... nothing new here. I began a routine little wrenching on my Scrambler last weekend and it's still on-going. Nothing is easy with that thing. I've spent more time dealing with mud and rust covered bolts and nuts then I've actually spent doing something constructive. I'm freshening up the front axle; replacing the fluids, etc. Good thing I have my scooter, so I'm not at a total loss anyway... and 100 mpg isn't that bad!

I am shooting a wedding this weekend. It's over on Jekyll Island. I hope to spend the remainder of the weekend putting my Jeep back together, finishing up a couple of wedding albums and spending some time with Kel. That's all I got on the tap folks. I'm trying to coax Kelly into heading up to the cabin for a short little getaway next weekend. We'll see if that comes into fruition, I sure hope it does. I could use a little mini-getaway. Have a good friday.
