Henery’s Back and He’s Got a New Toy

March 5, 2010 – 9:48 pm

Been in a really bad funk, which I will not go into. Head was in a bad place, no motivation, blah-blah blah  blah-freakin’-blah. Ya know? Been saving for a new toy for a long time, and got it yesterday. Got out tonight to play with it. Hope you enjoy, and sorry for the long drought.

Always gotta start with the Lighthouse, right?

Then something else simple, like a sunset.

Try some color and contrast.

And then go fer broke, and try a baby. This is Kora, by the way.

LHS: It Is Finished…

February 11, 2010 – 7:15 pm

This was the view from Washington Avenue this morning at 8:50am, as DEMEX awaited the arrival of a manlift and hydraulic jackhammer to complete the demolition of the Lorain High/Middle School site.

Cable was threaded through niches in the chimney brick, pulled around the stack and secured, and then attached to an excavator, which pulled the cable taut.

A hydraulic jackhammer rolls into position, to take out the base of the stack, which will aid in bringing it down. With the target area painted in orange, he’ll position himself right in harm’s way.

 

Watch it come down…

And Poof!! It’s gone.

Just a pile of bricks is left.

And the memories…

(I found I was able to brighten the video just a bit and also slow it down, so that you can see a little more detail as the chimney goes down.)

Up Close and…Covered in Fur

January 25, 2010 – 10:44 pm

This is Lady, named after the character Marguerite St. Just, from the book “The Scarlet Pimpernel.” I’ve been tryin’ to break out of this funk, and find some new things to shoot. I woke up the other morning to find her sleeping next to me, and the light seemed just right. (Clicking on the photos opens a larger version in another window.)
