Michigan State Hospital, originally uploaded by aimos325.

Katie and I drove around the old Michigan State Hospital in Traverse
City. It's beautiful. It'd be a little eerie if it's not being
remodeled into restaurants, condos and bakeries... cool stuff.

photoshop phun, originally uploaded by aimos325.

The top picture came out of my camera, the bottom one has been
retouched slightly (slightly, ha!). Anyway, overdone or not, I was
proud that I can make such a change. The picture is of a house along
the highway in the UP. It's a beautiful shade of red. It's also got some serious foundation issues. I always notice it though. If you like it, I can post
the bottom picture alone :-)

Redridge


Redridge, originally uploaded by aimos325.

Timber crib dam, built in 1894 and submerged for a number of years (a
larger dam was constructed downstream). The top 10 feet or so were
removed a few years back to avoid a failure which, even in it's remote
location, would cause a lot of damage.

Target Brownie Six-20


Target Brownie Six-20, originally uploaded by aimos325.

Here she is... The shutter's on the bottom right of the picture.
Yes, you hold this camera at waist level and look through one of 2
viewfinders. One on the top for "portrait" and one on the side for
"landscape." There are 2 shutter settings (auto and bulb (holds it
open-- you do the timing)) and 2 aperature settings (small and
smaller).

From the brownie


From the brownie, originally uploaded by aimos325.

this is a picture of Mom and Dad, standing next to my carport. It was
taken with my Brownie Target Six-20, which was made sometime between
1946 and 1952. The pictures actually turned out pretty good (better
than it looks on here!) but I am finding it challenging to get from
film to jpeg. All in all, pretty cool though!

saw these pedestrian bridges in Midland and had to stop. I took

anxiety of film photography!!!)

This is for everyone who had Mr. Arthur for physics in high school. I
can't tell you how many problems I did about Pizza Sam's ("a water
balloon is launched from the top of Pizza Sam's with a velocity of...)
and I saw it in Midland today!!!

So, I saw this flower on the ground. I thought it'd look cute by
Marais's ear or something, but she wouldn't cooperate with me putting
flowers on her or posing. So I snuck this shot. Gotcha anyway, dog!!
