Ah, yes ... Fredonia is a pretty small berg. Know in the area for the furniture store, Feagans of Fredonia. I live in an even smaller town, just west of Paducah, and it's in a dry county as well. In fact, I tend bar in a bootleg joint that operates with a wink and a nod from the police,

Thanks, Steven. I was slightly put off by the elbow noise at first, too ... but, I didn't want to fiddle around too much and wreck the rest of the shot. So, I broke the will of my perfectionist inner child and let things be for once in my life. I think I'll have a print made of this one

Thanks, Bob, for the congrats and kind words. I didn't notice the hospital bracelet until I started processing. The loose Band-Aid caught my attention as an intriguing minor detail. But, the hospital bracelet really was a nice touch in that it made me wonder what the guy's story was.

Is that a hospital bracelet or a drink bracelet. I've been to a few events where they issue those of age something like that at the gate so that they may partake of adult beverages, without constantly being asked for ID. On 9/27/2010 10:24 AM, Bob Sullivan wrote: Walt, Nice catch. The guy

I assume it's a hospital bracelet since they issued tickets for drinks, rather than bracelets. They keep all the drinkers penned up in a beer garden -- which is just a glorified term for what's generally referred to as a segregation unit in the correctional system. Paducah, KY is very much

The adult beverage bracelets don't usually have privacy act data imprinted on them. That one's got at least 4 lines of text and a bar-code, and the band-aid on the other arm is in the right place for an IV. From: P. J. Alling Is that a hospital bracelet or a drink bracelet. I've been to a

Thank you, Larry. The main reason for ISO 800 at 1/1600 was the fact that my flash had started triggering on a couple of shots before that, so rather than manually shut it down, I just bumped up the ISO to minimize the necessity for it, but still have it pop up just in case it was
