Electricity and nature, balanced for the moment until one strikes out at the other, pulling down power line or burning from lightening strike.

SuperChurch Detroit
I see from South Woodward Ave. a new spire going up. If you could look around to the side of this construction you’d see that it spans a dozen or so football fields. I mean this is going to be big. HUGE.
Reliable Handyman. Assume Nothing.
On a pole on the way home last night. Royal Oak, MI. Zooming in on full-size image you can see the brush strokes of the painting artist signed “Estelle Janatto 12 70”
DIAgo Rivera
Detroit Institute of Arts, Diego Rivera court.
Red Cart In The Sunset
On my way back from the grocery in the late afternoon sun. Parked, discarded, as far as it could practically go out of the supermarket lot and far enough from the owner’s home to implicate guilt. Safely nestled now in the pines off Catalpa.
All Beef Hot Dog
It may look small way down there at the end of the aisle but it is actually quite large. And all beef to boot. Scenes like this always call to me. Majestic and iconic. Almost inappropriate. If I could paint I’d do this scene in oils. John Michaels…are you listening…
Fresh Cuts of Faux
Downtown carnival with a new prize offering: fresh hanging cuts of fury faux lions and tigers. Like fuzzy sides of meat in a butcher’s playland. Or something like that. (Shhh…they’re sleeping…)
ATM Yes We Can
Give me liberty or give me poster, each waving to someone else. NYC, 2010.
Because Dirt Goes With Everything
From a recent trip to NYC. Cigar store window display and all the class it promises from sitting in the sun under smoke haze and dirt crumble. Reminds me of how well (or not) Moonraker has stood the test of time. (And yes I know, that’s not Roger Moore down there under all that filth…)
Waiting On The 9…Almost Over
The M9 is backordered – although ordered – and the 35mm is still at Leica NJ for calibration and restoration (since January). If anyone is interested, the M8 (with new M8.2 shutter and corrected framelines) may soon be on ebay.
UPDATE: the M9 arrived but like so many things in life that have to be done at least 2 times before it can be right), it went back with a sensor/processor error and should be back next week. 35mm lens back and now wonderfully accurate. A difference of night & day.
