After a photo shoot for church, I headed downtown to Los Angeles for some railroad photography.

Here is a shot from the Olympic Street bridge over the LA river with Amtrak's 8th Street facility.

Thursday night is family night. Last two Thursdays we have played Monopoly. This is a new version with credit cards and an electronic banking machine instead of cash. All the properties and dollar values have been changed.

Tonight .. I won.

Found this little thing sitting on my desk. Likely part of some toy set my daughter got for Christmas or the like. Sat it on my wrist bean pad and a white cardboard for a background and 4 led lights in various positions to light it.

A stack of DVD's on a spindle that I arranged for an ODC group. Used one Led flashlight behind and one in the bottom right corner with a reflector behind to bounce some of the yellow from my computer wallpaper in... this is what came out in the frame.

Back on to my subjects of thought. I picked up some more LED flashlights to use for random lighting. One of them broke already but these are all awaiting batteries. $9.99 for 5 lights. Not a steal, but not to bad for what I want to do with them.

Shot for an ODC with the subject of Square. These are cd archives. 3 squares inside a clear plastic square.

I liked the negative impact a lot better then the positive.

Was not really enthusiastic about my 365 image so this is a sublimental for the blog.

My yard is full of leaves from our street tree. Decided to sweep some up into a pile as my son like to stomp on them.

Missed my sunlight but shot a bunch of the pile anyways for use here. This one has a few Lightroom Presets applied to it as well as a light balance adjustment to play with the tones.

This plant is growing on the side of my house. I wanted to get it in brighter light but shadow falls quickly where it grows.. so I shot from underneath it. It is as tall as the house. The leaves remind me of Poinsettias but I am not sure what it really is.

I was photographing things to sell in my garage and shot this for that purpose but liked it enough to use for this.

My son used this 5 times at max as he did not care for the swing much.

My Holga 120 S. A camera my sister bought me for my birthday many years ago along with 2 rolls of Ilford Delta 400 Professional Black And White film. I have shot a complete roll and never opened the second package.. nor developed the first roll. I have no idea what is on it, only that I took the experiment suggestion fully to heart with it.
