CATCHING UP – September, 2013


Wonky Farm – 9.19.2013
This is looking west by northwest from the poultry penthouse and quack house. I chose this because of the wide-angle distortion, looking like the background of some Thomas Hart Benton painting.

Hate Camper – 9.25.2013

This is the camper back of a pickup truck that is often parked in a shopping plaza parking lot on Lancaster Drive in Salem, Oregon. Someone told me the owner is homeless. Clearly, there is a reason.
To borrow a phrase from that Great American, Kinky Friedman, the owner may sleep in the truck, but he is living out where the buses don't run.



Matthew McDaniel, Independence, Oregon – 9.7.2013

I met Mr. McDaniel just outside the city park in Independence. We got to talking and he told me he rode a horse across the country, ending up in Manhattan. Said he's done it twice. He heads up the Akha Heritage Foundation. He may be the only member of the Foundation for all I know. He did have an interesting story about the police escort he got from New Jersey...

The Taylor's Fountain – 9.7.2013
I took this through a window next to the locked and padlocked door. Sadly, there won't be any more 
ice cream sodas served at the counter...

murciélago muerto-9.9.2013

My wife knows and loves me, which is why she brought a bat carcass home from a morning run. These are the same photos. The bottom one has been seriously manipulated in PhotoShop.
