Last weekend i visited Old Car City in White, Georgia.  About an hour and a half from Atlanta. Interesting place . . . a bit overwhelming . . . a bit inspirational . . . a nice stroll on a nice day . . .

I think what everything in my life comes down to are these words.
Perhaps some day i can make a living off of that philosophy.

Here and there were these handwritten signs. At first they were disturbing my flow since i had thought i was there to look at the old cars, but soon my focus shifted and i sought them out. I love the folk artiness of it. The mispellings. The universal sentiments...
 

and of course, the moral to every story . . .



But, there were cars too! So so so many.

 



And buses . . .



And amazing pantina's and paint and rust that i will try as hard as i can to replicate . . .





Look forward to going back soon, although note to self, bring bug spray!!!

I've been really enjoying the C-type Plate and D-type Plate films that Hipstmatic released a couple of months ago!

A couple of photos using these films...

C-type Plate film:


One of my favorite so far, this is using the Janes Lens and C-type Plate film


Another Janes Lens and C-type Plate film. From FDR State Park in Pine Mountain GA


Libatique Lens and C-type Plate film also from FDR State Park - this is a statue of FDR at Dowdells Knob.

Whoa Nelly - how has it been since June that I've not posted Hipstamatic photos? Thats crazy talk!
Its nice to have them here, as opposed to just flickr, so i can look and remember....

Wow. OK. Here's some miscellaney that was taken between August and October...

This was taken at magic hour in early August at the Brickstore Pub. I noticed the sun shining in through the window at the perfect angle backlighting the beer i was drinking:


Also in Decatur there is a statue of a bunch of kids playing in a fountain. I had taken a similar photo to this the year before but i wasnt quite centered right for my tastes, so i retook it and now it's lovely:


from the top of Stone Mountain with the Atlanta skyline in the background on a gorgeous early fall day:


I visited Oakland Cemetery again and shot a couple more statues:




and my favorite:


In mid-September I saw my first autumn leaf, and it looked effing AMAZING on the rusted cement:


Sitting outside there was a row of flowers near me that a butterfly kept flying around on. I was flabbergasted when i took this that my iphone captured such detail and with such clarity that butterfly in mid-flight!


In late September the pumkins started showing up, this was actually taken at a Home Depot!
