just look up...

So many things to stop and photograph along Hwy 287. I've traveled this road from Decatur to Childress for over 25 yrs every time we go to our hometown to visit family. I've talked (and thought) about stopping to photograph hundreds of items along the way. On our way back home (over the Christmas holiday), I convinced Sherri to let me stop twice to take photos. This sign (and many just like it) has been softly speaking to me over the last several years. I can now check this one off the list...

Tried out a camera that I have had for about a year, but hardly shot; a Polaroid One Step Red Stripe. This is a shop downtown Greenville, that I have photographed many time with several cameras...

the end is near...

It ended before it ever began...

Got a new-to-me camera (Polaroid SLR 680) on Monday and I finally got a photo of one of my favorite signs that I have never photographed...

An old sign in front of a store that I used to go to when I was growing up in Childress, TX. All that is left is the sign and an empty building...

Part of a project where I am taking instant photos of different signs around Greenville, Texas. The colors from the Fuji FP-100C always seem to wow me...

Almost shot this one too dark.  It was bright and sunny so I set the darken wheel all the way dark to try and get a blue sky. I guess you could say that I succeeded there.  The sky is definitely darker in this picture than it was in person.  Wish I would have gotten down just a little lower to remove the reflection in the middle of the picture.
