At Waveland in Lexington, KY

Storage Below Ground
When you first see this structure at Waveland in Lexington, KY, it looks like the top of house on a hill. I’ve never been in this one, but it’s probably brick-lined like similar ones from this era.
Missing Teeth
At Waveland, a historic mansion and grounds on the outskirts of Lexington, KY.
I just bought this Yashica Electro 35 CCN wide (black). Holy crap what a great lens and fun little camera. I cleaned the battery contacts, cleaned the rangefinder glass inside and out, and put new seals in it. I love its size and weight – not too heavy, and not too light. It’s about an inch and a pound lighter than the full-size Electro 35 (in my unscientific judgement). I think, though it will require more testing, that the meter is off by about a stop (or my developer might have been weak as it was nearing the expiry date). I will happily run more rolls through this camera to determine it’s correct exposure adjustment.
Bulldozer vs Stadium
Renovation of the early 1970’s Commonwealth Stadium at the University of Kentucky. I’ll be working up in the very tippy-top section in the middle come football time.

Galaxy 500
This is a fastback that this guy recently painted black – very sharp. My uncle owned an earlier Galaxy 500, and I owned a 1972 LTD, so my heart is with this body style.

Tree Factory
It looks like a factory that is making Christmas trees.
There is a dividing line between a hospital and apartment housing for (mostly) international students who attend the University of Kentucky. These poor people have to hear and see these giant vent fans spewing God-knows-what into the air. Curiously, the UK campus and this hospital are “smoke-free” campuses. The smokers stand on the dividing line – a trench that sometimes acts like a creek just in front of this belching stack- to feed their habit. Like that “line” is the DMZ or something.
Winter Doldrums
Remember this awful winter? What 3 feet of snow? More water fell from the sky than most years since 1880-something – which is a nanosecond in the history of this planet. As it this 1/60th of a second snapshot of some of that water falling from the sky. An hour of shoveling followed these pictures.
