TV Still Life in the Snow

What I Found on the Way Home From SchoolYou turn on Spring St and there it is.  Shot of the day, waiting for me.
I counted fifteen recycle bags. The discarded television looks really heavy to me.

Waiting for pickup.  Any idea what year the Television set was made?

Giant Cyclops in the Snow on Carson Street

Family, friends and neighbors suggest pictures for me to shoot.  Tess said, “Ruthie, you have to get a photo of the giant Snow Cyclops!”  But he was over on the South Side and for 9 days I wasn’t driving anywhere.

Thursday night I left the Art Institute downtown and headed for Book Club on Josephine Street, and there he was waiting for me. Not melted yet!   Deep and dirty piles of snow so nowhere to park. Pulled into the bus stop, pushed the flashers button.   Got out of the car completely, careful of traffic on Carson Street, and felt like photographer on assignment.  Self-imposed!   Thanks Tess. Kyklops Tattoo for all your tattoo needs!

The temperature rose today so I was lucky to catch him before he started to melt

What I Saw on the Way to School This Morning

The angle of the frozen water layered with the multicolored stones was a good find.

Waders and a Potato in a Truck Bed Parked on the South Side-Pittsburgh

Okay the waders are for fishing. But what about the potato?  Just sitting there in the parked truck Saturday morning.

Waiting to set up for a band or maybe just finished unloading the back of the truck.

I  sat at the red light and took a quick shot  as one waved to me.
