I think it really needs the color to see what is happening.

A tight horizontal crop might work in B, but I think the color really helps 
make him stand out from the background

Re: PESO - Leap, fauxlarized

You got the solarization effect down nicely -- I've got mixed feelings 
about wheter or not to clone out the stool...


I did some solarization back in the day when I was first doing my own 
developing and printing.. tricky stuff - sometimes

it worked nicely sometime not so much :-)

I went for a bike ride yesterday, I took the K-1, ended up going through some

I stopped to take a photos of something else in the “fallen leaf” neighborhood

https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/50362939082/in/album-72157716043467568/

About a block further up at the corner of Jamison Creek and big Basin Way I saw 
this next to a burned out house.  It’s funny, I realized that in the moment, 
the loss of a child’s toy affected me as much as the loss of the house
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/50362830461/in/album-72157716043467568/

This intersection was in the news back in June.  Someone saw a white parked 
here with guns in it. To make a long story short it belonged to a right wing 
extremist (boogaloo) who shortly thereafter murdered a deputy, nearly killing 
his partner, and who it was later discovered had killed a cop two weeks before 
in Oakland.  It’s been an overly interesting summer for our sleepy little 
community.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/50362826386/in/album-72157716043467568/

A few weeks ago, someone posted a photo of a James Dean mural.  Years, and a 
couple owners back, the owners of the Brookdale lodge had a similar mural 
painted on a wall facing hwy 9.  Someone else bought the place, worked on 
cleaning it up, and painted over the mural.  There was an incredible uproar 
from all of the locals, so they hired someone else to paint a new one, which 
sucked.  Another renovation cycle later, they were very close to reopening, and 
Covid hit.  They do, now, have a much better mural than the last:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/50362836591/in/album-72157716043467568/

If you go down towards Salinas, you will see a lot of John Cerney’s work:
https://www.johncerneymurals.com/

I just liked the title of this article I found about him
https://carmelmagazine.com/archive/outstanding-in-his-field

Anybody who has driven South to Monterey on the coast has seen the whimisical 
painting of someone loading a giant artichoke into a Nash metropolitan, itself 
even larger than a real one which is at the bottom of this page
https://www.roadarch.com/signs/cerney.html

Full set from yesterday.  Again, it’s a bit large as it’s a lot of 
documentation:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72157716043467568

I have come to the conclusion that of the natural disasters I’ve experienced so 
far, wildfires are my least favorite.

I was downtown (“in Center City,” as we say in Philly) to get a couple of watch 
batteries replaced. I took my camera for a short walk. This is the only shot I 
like.
