Photography Board Summer Assignment, 2010: Scavenger Hunt

Backwards
On my way into work yesterday I came across this. An accident at the bottom of the bridge where a car spun around facing oncoming traffic. I took one look and said out loud.....BACKWARDS!

Barber at work
These ladies were so nice when I explained why I was there. I haven't had the need to get a haircut in a while since most of mine is gone, but I used to go here all the time and they always did one heck of a job. I'll never forget going there in May of '03 on a Sat. morning and talking to the girls there about how nice of a day it was. When they asked what I planned on doing to enjoy it, I told her I was getting married in about 2 hrs The look on her face was priceless and she did an excellent job!

Barber Pole

And here's a shameless plug for the girls in Norwood, PA for being so nice to me!
NO POINTS

Bird Eating
I liked the look of it but a always open for criticism.

Cemetery

Ornate Gravestone

Desert
I stopped in this little bakery to grab a picture or 7 and asked the little old lady (Very nice though) behind the counter if I could take a picture of the wedding cakes in the window for here. When she heard the word internet she became nervous and told me to come back when the owner is in. I will, but for now I still have one slice of this left!

They've been demo'ing this place for a while. I think they may have forgotten to get a permit first or something

Great pictures, everyone.

AlisonUK, love yours especially. I just have to get to England one of these days.

Oh, and I suddenly have the urge for pineapple upside down cake. Thanks NaLD - I just figured out what I'm making for my guests this weekend.

 

[NateNLogansDad]

As much as I still want to go for quantity, I thought I'd play around a little also. Tell me what you think about this one I did tonight. I call it, "I can't win for loosing."
Pea-n-Me calls it...

If my internet cooperates I have a lot of pics to add. To start

Newspaper press this was used on the USS Olympia

The explanation about the press

and an extra press for no points - Ben Franklins press

Railway taken from the train

US government building It's either the mint or the federal courthouse

Dragonfly it really is in there. I could not get one to land and actually managed to get one in flight. It is hovering over the grass

Famous Landmark I actually have two in here. The Liberty Bell and the building behind it is Independence Hall where the Continental Congress met and signed the Declaration of Independence

Cigar store Indian I never thought I would find this one

Old Glory at the site of the original old Glory

Gravestone older than 1800 to replace the other picture. This does look like a replacement

one more older gravestone. The grave is actually in Christ Church

Bridge suspension bridge - The Walt Whitman bridge. This bridge actually opened when I was around 9 months old and my mother walked me across it to New Jersey and back to Philly the day before it opened to car traffic

Obsolete the machine used to administer anesthesia in the late
1800's/early 1900's

A torpedo

model it's of the USS Olympia. She is the oldest steel hull naval warship, and served as Admiral Dewey's flagship in the Spanish American war. Unfortunately this grand lady is being scuttled sometime in the near future as her hull has deteriorated and she will sink in place within the next 3 years.
