have camera will roam..

VayCayMom

Our TV broke a few weeks ago and can't be repaired till a part comes in, soooo I was bored and told my hubby we should go drive around our small town one late Saturday afternoon, camera in hand. We headed to our tiny 3 block downtown. I have been told until 12 or 15 years ago you could still find a hitching post or two. Well we found the American Legion. It is a sort of club/bar for veterans.
People are so cool when you have a camera, what an ice breaker. A gal asks me to take a group shot of the "riding club", I do, then I think HEY, they ride motorbikes! Where are the bikes??
We all head out back and I direct them to a dirt lot, TRY to line them up, then give up, shoot, and do an individual of each one. It was a GREAT way to get out of the house and spend the afternoon. Here are my favorites...


of course I did this all for just for fun and gave them access to download any photo, in gratitude for serving our country.
MY VERY FAVORITE..




















This gentleman is headed back to Iraq soon.

I really like the shot of the couple (close-up) and of the fella goin back to Iraq.

Goody on you for the token of kindness that you delivered to them. I'm sure its appreciated.

Nicely done! I also really like the portrait of the couple.

If you ever want to get serious about thanking those who serve, check out Operation: Love Reunited . For those for whom giving back is their cup of tea, this is a great way to do it.

Nice stuff. The Polaroid type frame and treatment on that one is great.

You've got some great ideas going on. Love some of the low angles and I'm a big fan of vignetting. Colors are great and great expressions.
