Not a photo

I subscribe to the betterphoto.com newsletter, I'm not sure why, but I've been on their list for a while. Every month, they have a newsletter with a winning photo and "new photos discussions." Here's where I'm annoyed. The current photo of the month, http://www.betterphoto.com/gallery/dynoGallDetail.asp?photoID=2466928
IS NOT APHOTOGRAPH!!!! This is a digital image at best. I'm sorry for those digital fans out there who want to think they are producing photographs. You may shoot a photograph, but once your drop a cloud and whatever effects on it in photoshop, it is a digital image. there are many more examples of this type of things on http://www.betterphoto.com, which is mostly a site devoted to digital image capturing, so I guess I shuoldn't be too surprised.

Rant finished.

PA

Home in PA for a few days, helping my brother move into a new house.

while here, I may get out to do some more work on the Breaker project, seen in my black and white galleries, under the Blue Coal Breaker work.

Here are two images, yet unfinished, from my recent trip to and inside the breaker:

Beginning to catch up

So I was in Germany and Prague in the beginning of this year, and the photos from that still sit sleeved in storage, but are starting to be seen by my eyes, so I figured I would share one or two here as a teaser, and to get me posting a little more frequently.

On the darker side, this is from the Dachau Concentration Camp (Memorial Site). This will probalby be worked in with my series on Holocaust Memorials I've worked on for a few years, just two of which can be seen in my black and white galleries.

To lighten things up a bit, here's one from Prague, taken on my 6x6. this is in the central square, just one that I liked so far in my scanning.
