Post some of your favorite photographic images you've taken. I'll start:

Don't any of you guys own a camera?

Well I assume most people here have one in their phone but...

I have an older Cannon Rebel that I bought (used) for a photography class. I enjoy photography but don't find much time for it with too many other interests/pursuits. These days I mostly use it for photographing my ceramics.

Here's one y'all might enjoy: it's a lantern/luminary with it's shape based on an EL84 vacuum tube, decorated with a smattering of random amp schematics and lit from within. Took the picture in a local park/wetland/woodland area.

We're too busy playing guitars

No, but seriously, photography is something that I've been interested in learning for a long time, but all the usual excuses of time, opportunity, practice, blah, blah, blah, blah....

Hoping to get some opportunity to learn my DSLR better next month when I'm traveling for work and have a bit of downtime while I'm out there.

I'll be nearer to actual Warmoth country compared to where I live, but no opportunity to actually go there. Not renting a car while I'm out in Seattle and getting an Uber/Lyft just to drive past the facility and take a picture is kind of a dumb idea. And not like they have a retail shop or do factory tours anyway (that I know of....).

Pelicans taking off, San Elijo State Beach, Encinitas, CA. Not too terrible for a phone from way too far away. But there is digital artifacting from the zoom.

What is it about California kitsch that makes it so photographable? Gotta love it.

And I have spent way more of my life on 99 than I care to think about. Most of it is nowhere near as picturesque.

9 years ago we retired some farm land near our house from production, and worked on creating an area for butterflies,birds & bees. It's nice to go outside this time of year and watch all of the air traffic going on.

I like old signs, especially neons. Here are a couple more of my photos of signs:

Motel in Colusa, California


Old cafe, somewhere in eastern Washington

If you ever find yourself in Vegas, (a) let me buy you a cup of coffee, and (b) I think you might like the Neon Museum.

And every one of those photos is exquisite, Trevor.

One of the guitar theme's I'd like to do it to is an "Andy Summer's" type guitar that is covered with photo's he has taken, transferring photo's onto a Warmoth guitar body. This photo of a Hawk sitting on a fence post in my backyard would be one of those.

I like old things. Besides old signs, I like old cars and trucks, especially old abandoned ones, in various stages of entropy. Here are a few I found in Montana while on vacation:

These are great shots, Mike. Now lost to the vagaries of time and chance, I used to have a print of a photo I took back in 1986 when I was in the Army of a broke-down old truck with backlit by the setting sun coming through its windows. Evidently rusted out jalopies, too, are subjects you and I both like.
