My Friend Jim

Got my Mountain Bike today, took it over to my friend Jim's house, let him take it for a spin, and I ask him a bunch of questions since I've never rode a 27 speed bike before. He has put over a thousand miles on his bike. You can see pictures of his bike rides and hikes at utahhikes.net.

Day Twenty Eight - More Fall Color

My co-workers were giving me a retirement luncheon today at Lucky Buffet at 1069 W. Riverdale Rd., Riverdale, UT. I got to Riverdale a little early so I went looking for my daily photo I found the first fall color to photograph on the grounds of Cherry Creek Apartments, at 1551 W Riverdale Rd., Riverdale, UT. On my way home today I stop at the drive thru to get a diet Pepsi at the Sinclair gas station, 710 Washington Blvd. and this is where I found the fall color for the second photo.

Quote of the Day: "To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them." - Elliott Erwitt

Day Twenty Seven - November Flowers

I stopped to pay lot rent on my way out to do my daily photographing, but found these right outside the drop box.

Quote of the Day: "Good photography is not about Zone Printing or any other Ansel Adams nonsense. It's just about seeing. You either see or you don't see. The rest is academic. Photography is simply a function of noticing things. Nothing more." - Elliott Erwitt

Day Twenty Six - Light on White

While in Layton passed an antique store that had a painted white milk container on the steps decided to stop and photograph it.

Quote of the Day: "One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you'd be stricken blind." - Dorothea Lange

McCools Parking Lot

On my way to my retirement luncheon something caught my eye in the parking lot of McCool's Public House, at 855 West. Heritage Park Blvd, Suite #3, Layton, UT. Above are the photos I took in the parking lot.

Twenty Five - Just Grass

On the hill just pass Smith's heading south on Harrison Blvd on the left side spotted some grass tuffs that looked like they would be fun to photograph. Made mental note and continued on to eat a late lunch at the new indian restuarant at 36th and Harrison Blvd. After lunch came back and took these photos.

Quote of the Day: "Let the subject generate its own photographs. Become a camera." - Minor White

Day Twenty Four - Lindquist Field

Took some more photos at Lindquist Field, the home of the Ogden Raptors, at 2330 Lincoln Ave, Ogden Utah.

Quote of the Day: "To take photographs means to recognize-simultaneously and within a fraction of a second-both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one’s head, one’s eye and one’s heart on the same axis." - Henri Cartier-Bresson
