LONE SENTINEL

.

A lonely job but somebody's gotta do it.

Thanks for the view. I guess I missed on this one, as it seems destined to remain obscure.

David, this and your photo of the two trailers are really great. I am viewing this on a small screen and I have to say the use of selective desaturation is pretty effective. I am looking forward to the larger view on my home computer. Cheers, jay

Interesting B&W/color combination w/stark B&W tones. As a fan of garages, this works quite well for me.

Jay, thanks for your thoughts. Glad you enjoyed it.

 

Michael, glad you like. I cooked it on high for a bit, so it is a bit overdone for many.

Well, I'm glad somebody's got a little snap; my stuff seems as limp as the flowers on my balcony that are dying of heat stroke because I've I've neglected to water them for the last 2 days. Crisp and cool this picture is - I only wish I were.

Thanks for the comment. Welcome back. I've missed you.

Those seven poles look as proud and tall as the seven Samourai of photography, or the seven cowboys that were the originals for a long series of replica movies. Which one would be Yul Brinner, BTW ?

 

Kidding aside, a helluva good catch, David. Love it. The desaturation adds an extra creative touch to the pic, like icing on the cake ( we French people say CHERRY on the cake, like that small red pole I see in the middle that must be the Lone Sentinel I presume?). Great pic here.

 

P.S.: David, I missed you, I missed Jack...and even missed myself I could tell. Those proud poles make me wish we could reunite that old gang we used to be in the old days, when we were so enthusiastic about the whole thing on Pnet. I miss all those friends from the early days.

Once again I'm deeply indebted to you. Not just for the compliment, but because you remind me of what is so good about this site. I've made some great friends. Some I've met personally, and others only ethernetically. But guys like you, Jack and so many others here sure help counter my basic pessimistic view of the possibilities of man to overcome his inherent weaknesses and to thrive in a way that sometimes seem counter to the norm. You are an impressive guy, and I thank you for that.

I'm not so well-at-ease with words as I'd like to, and I'm not always present here, but let me just say thanks and assure you the feeling is mutual.
