Strange Lawn Decorations

I decided to take a Sunday Drive and check out Parkesburg, Pennsylvania. Had heard it was a funky town just outside of Coatesville. When I got to Parkesburg, I started photographing things along Main Street. Finally I came across this unusual and strange collection of garden decorations in front of this house. It was sort of funny looking. Seeing a rabbit on a bike. A wooden soldier with a turtle next to him. Joseph & Mary with an angel on the porch. Interesting :))

Thanksgiving Dinner Last Night

As we sat down to celebrate thanksgiving dinner, I looked at my wife Susan and had a lot to be thankful for.  Susan has been a wonderful wife during our 24 years of marriage. She has always been there for me and never fails to take good care of me and our house.

so at our thanksgiving dinner, I was so thankful Susan is doing well. This was something I couldn't take for granted after all these wonderful years of our marriage. I love Susan.

Portraits From The Month's Past

Many times I have taken the train to Philadelphia and have walked up 11th Street to Market Street. And there they are. The many people waiting for the bus near Market St. But today this one man stood out from the group of people waiting. He seemed old and tired looking. He looked as though he had seen the world from looking at his face.

Chester County Auto Club

Well here they are again. Those daring antique car collectors were at it again. This time they were giving out awards at the Tom Oates Chevrolet dealership last Saturday. This one car fascinated me. It was a motorcycle as a race car. Awesome!

5out of 5

Pros: Strong Construction, Lightweight, Reliable, Easy to Use, Easy To Pack

Best Uses: Family Photos, Travel, Weddings/Events

Describe Yourself: Pro Photographer

Was this a gift?: No

This is a very nice softbox that Joe McNally had Lastolite make for him. The white interior makes for a softer light, which is not as contrasty. I like it better than the original Lastolite Easybox that was lined in Silver. The Softbox is easy to set up and pack up afterwards. The lighting is great for portraits, small groups, and family photos. I would definately reconmend this to anyone.

Sunday Brunch at Station Bistro

Every time I come over to get a takeout, It's always crowded. It's the place to be for getting together with family and friends for a wonderful morning breakfast!

Philadelphia

Every time I take the train into the city, I'm reminded of City Hall. It looms at you as one goes up the Suburban Station steps to the street. It has been a symbol of Philadelphia since I came here in 1981.

And I have seen City Hall go through many changes since then. From the days of remodeling to the many mayors who have worked there.

But City Hall has always been a familiar site that when I see the building - it says "Philadelphia."
