POW, August 1

<p>Well, it is 8 AM here on the east coast of the U.S. and no one has started the pow yet, so here goes. My first shot was taken several years ago with my old Nikkormat. Our dog Maggie as a pup. I just thought it might be a nice idea to post some dog picks today, in honor of Caney. My second shot was taken this week with my new camera. AAAHHHHH, a HMMMMM, well a, canon 50d.</p><div></div>

<p>Great idea Bob. I was thinking the same thing as I also saw no one had started a POW and I think it was all for the ame reason that after the bad news, no one felt very much like starting a POW this week and you started a great thing. Like Caney, even though Chelsea would be in pain, she would still like the outdoors very much. Chelsea and Steven in her latter years. <a href="http://s407.photobucket.com/albums/pp153/marzrw/acadia%201/?action=view&current=Chelsea.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp153/marzrw/acadia%201/Chelsea.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a> Acadia Sunset - Caney saw many of these in the ADK's thanks to his pal Justin <a href="http://s407.photobucket.com/albums/pp153/marzrw/acadia%201/?action=view&current=AcadiaSunset1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i407.photobucket.com/albums/pp153/marzrw/acadia%201/AcadiaSunset1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>

<p>K20D, Sigma 10-20mm at 14mm, F13, 1/100 second through polarizing filter (light plz.), earlier this morning. Just a touch of editing.</p>

<p>Great kick off Robert. I'll follow your lead and Ben's theme too. Here are a few quick shots from this week.</p>

<p>First up, Marley the mischievous...</p><div></div>

<p>Second up, a girl and her best friend. My daughter Emily and Sonny this morning....</p><div></div>

<p>I have no dog, but I feel for you, Justin.</p><div></div>

<p>Two shots this week, one landscape and one that is a departure for me , a portrait shot...</p><div></div>

<p>The second...</p><div></div>

<p>Most of my photos from the past week have been from another project, but while I was working on those I developed some Ektachrome from a week or two ago. I snapped this one on the way to one of my project locations. I'm confident this same subject was photographed by Ronnie and made it to POW a little while back.</p>

<p>Ektachrome, E100G, 55mm Takumar, exposure unrecorded. E-6 home processing kit; Epson V700 scanner.</p><div></div>

<p>I'm still working on the shots from my Canadian adventure but here are a couple taken at the Newark Airport (shooting is a great way to pass the time between flights. ;~) </p><div></div>

<p>She'd spent the night in the Airport enroute from Paris to Chicago.</p><div></div>

Maggie, sucking up to a food source. I think I'd be inconsolable if I lost her, though a new puppy would probably help in a hurry.<div></div>

<p>I took a drive to the San Gabriel river Friday, mostly just to get away and go for a walk. The river was really low. I was able to walk in areas that are normally under 3 feet of water and in some places 5-6 feet of water. The water was so low it had to be diverted and only 1/2 the river was being used..<br /> Some fresh graffiti work in this bone dry section of the river...By the way..Ever notice how telephone wires are always ready to ruin a shot??<br /> <img src="http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp128/jgredline/Landscapes/IMGP7246.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Normally most of this is underwater.<br /> <img src="http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp128/jgredline/Landscapes/IMGP7240.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>My favorite shot of the day. I focused on the shadow itself. Normally, this fellow and his horse would not be able to cross here.<br /> <img src="http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp128/jgredline/Landscapes/IMGP7253.jpg" alt="" /></p>
