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.

Sunspot Chillin’

Olympus OM-4, Kodak Portra 400

Onslow and Daisy. Onslow is a rescue from the Woodford Human Society. Although one of my requirements was that my new cat would be okay around dogs, I was afraid he would be scared of Daisy. When I brought him home and let him out of the carrier, he immediately went up to Daisy and rubbed on her, purring. Well that was settled right away.

Daisy was a little taken aback with his forwardness. It had been a while since she was around a cat that showed any affection toward her (my other cat just hates life and everyone in it). Now, they greet each other, hang out together, and even sleep together at night.

Hard Rock Reflections

Taken at the mausoleum in Lexington Cemetery. A nice reflection off the granite wall.

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

Yashica Electro 35 GT BLK-Ilford Delta 100, Perceptol 1+3

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.

Morning Barns

Morning in the back barns the day of a race at Keeneland.

Waveland Garden – The Compact Yashica Electro 35 CCN Wide

I purposefully pointed into the sunset to see what kind of flare (or flair) this little gem would have. Yashica Electro 35 CCN-Ilford Delta 100, Perceptol 1+3

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.

Little Hooves

Miniature horses in the paddock at Keeneland. They’re used for therapy. I want to see them race.
