Scrambled eggs with salt and pepper, hash browns, Jimmy Dean sausage, whole wheat toast with peanut butter and grape jelly. My Final Photo for May 19, 2013
Began the day with another in the ‘Blue Plate Special” series with my iPhone. Not sure how long this will last as there are many repeat meals during the week and I’m guessing anyone who begins to study the series will get tired of seeing another plate of scrambled eggs and toast, or hamburger with cheese, or leftover spaghetti and meatballs. I also strayed from the original plate with the checked edge. I’ll have to return to that. looking for a bowl with the same design.
While on my bike, which didn’t survive the ride, stopped in for photos after the Otterbein University graduation ceremonies for a photo that, if I were still working for a news organization, would have made a fine state feature photo. You get to see it here.

iPhone Diptic from A Gal Named Cinda Lou – My Final Photo for April 28, 2013
Sunday was a very relaxing day with little to do but sit with family and talk with friends. Did take a few moments to lay at Cinda Lou’s in Uptown Westerville with the Hipstamatic Tintype Film Pak and the Diptic app.

Fathers watching sons play lacrosse
It was a great Sunday afternoon with temperatures moving to the 70s, a bike in good condition, legs that were bared after a winter in jeans, and a smaller than normal complement of cameras. Great day for a bike ride.
I was surprised how few people were out in the parks with the exception of Huber Village Park and Hoff Park.
Of course it’s crowded when there’s a youth league lacrosse game at Huber and a series of teen basketball games on the courts of Hoff.
I’ve shot both places many times and am always challenged to find a creative image that is different than others from the same location. Such was the challenge today.
Games at Hoff Woods Park
Instead of shooting the action of each space, I decided to shoot the environment, to show the warmest day of the year and people enjoying themselves in it.
The low angle of men watching their sons play lacrosse was shot a ground level using the pull-out LCD screen on the D5000 to give me a clear background and allow for the colorful contrast of colors against the blue sky.
The second photo of kids bikes at Hoff Woods is a very small homage to William Eggleston’s famous tricycle photo.
iPhone portrait
And, as I usually try to do, an iPhone photo for the day.

Pair of kayakers enjoy early spring trip at Hoover
Taking an afternoon trip across Hoover Reservoir wasn’t a fool’s chore for this pair of young kayakers who braved chill winds and choppy waters for their first outdoor adventure of the spring.
Despite temperatures barely above freezing and a brisk wind from the west, the pair completed one crossing with a round-about return near the bridge where they encountered headwinds that buffeted their single person kayaks just enough to make the return difficult.
Despite the hazards and cold breezes they discussed their next trip to the lake although both hoped it would be a little warmer next time.

And, the day wouldn’t be complete without an iPhone Hiopstamatic Tintype of the duo.
