@r.harris1 I noticed you’re shooting quite some photos in infrared. I like that a lot! May I ask what setup (camera, filter) you‘re using and how or if you’re previsualising your images? I‘m playing around with my IR filter from time to time, but I’m only rarely satisfied with the results.

As most of my pictures in the P52 threads are taken in my neighborhood, I'm somewhat feeling I have squeezed the area here dry for interesting motifs…

It's hard to come up with 52 distinct themes, particularly as I did not want people to feel compelled to take and share portraits.

The main goal of this whole thing was really just to get people out taking photos regularly. 🙂

Oh, that wasn't a complaint. I just find it a bit difficult to not repeat myself. That's certainly on me.

oh i know. these themes seemed a lot more distinct in december before actually working through them! 🧐🙃

Back in Pasadena, CA visiting friends and relatives this weekend so took a walk to pickup breakfast and coffee.

They make great coffee. I always buy a bag or two to take back home to Texas.

The very first Trader Joes. I can see the sign from outside my window and hear the carts rolling around

Not a fan of the breakfast Tacos in Austin... I always stop by here at least once for every visit. The Breakfast Burritos here are amazing. I could smell the sausage and eggs from my place every morning!

That's what a heart attack in a tortilla looks like. Worth every bite

The themes aren't the problem. I think they are a good mixture of ones focused on techniques, on specific motifs, or more general topics.

My issue are rather limitations on my side, mainly time and mobility constraints to seek out different spots to take the pictures.

One of my neighbours has an old WWII ambulance truck, parked there all year long

Do they do anything with it like take it to WWII-centric shows or does it just sit?

From the tires it has I don't think they move it at all.
But I could be wrong.
I will take a closer photo and let you judge 🙂

Hasn’t moved from that spot since WWII?

The parking ticket regime in your town seems very lenient.

You can park ...for now..without getting any ticket on those streets

24/7 without moving for days on end? Nice of the town to let public property be used as a private storage facility

Maybe they have a special agreement with City Hall.
We don't leave our car in front of the house for other motives: few years ago some punks broke all car windows on our street and that one too, just to steal some stuff. Lucky enough we parked inside our garage that time.. since then is every night 🙂

I don't think my town has any requirements to move vehicles off the street at regular intervals unless they are doing paving or street sweeping, etc. We keep all our vehicles on our property, but many people here don't have a garage and/or have a narrow driveway so they must street park.

This is called "snooping " on your ambulance' neighbour ...hope it doesn't break neighbourhood rules 😉
but to satisfy all your questions I took two more photos

There is no paid sticker on the plate.
The plate has a # but for privacy concern I blurred it

Thank you! Definitely just seems to be a “sitter”.

my neighborhood (my stoop)

 

[Darmok N Jalad]

Most of what I provide is from my own neighborhood, usually directly behind my house at the church's volunteer garden.

Just noticed I haven’t posted these yet. Taken with my iPhone in river in my neighbourhood when it was still a bit warmer
