Something from 2014 when I visited McLean's Auto Wreckers with a group of photog friends ...

It's nice to have an archive of images to review for candidates to process and post. I can't recall exactly what led me to this date in the library but I've found a few to develop and share so stay tuned to my soc8ial media channels ...

Interested to see what a folder of unprocessed images looks like? Here is a screen capture from my Lightroom catalogue, folder 20140426.

Photo of the Week 2014-04-28

Rarely, there will be a photo outing or weekend where I'm not particularly satisfied with any of the images I make. This past weekend was one of those times when I joined a number of other photographers from the Guelph Photographers Guild on an outing to McLean's Auto Wreckers. This is a location I have been to before, and where I can usually find something inspiring to capture.
Such was not the case on Saturday. Although I made a number of images of deteriorating paint, rusting metal and broken glass, I came away with images that left me unsatisfied, at least to this point. Maybe it was the dull overcast day. Maybe it was the cold, damp weather. Maybe I just wasn't seeing it. Who knows?
Maybe one day further along in my journey I will come back to the set of images in my library and have something catch my interest. For now though, I'm not that excited about any of them. Rather than look for in the archive for an image this week, I've decided to share one that I've processed to bring out the grit and texture I found in the junkyard.

beyond repair
Not every outing is as successful as I would like it to be.
