Atomic Motel

17 May 2024 1 92
A kinda "googie" sign on this motel in Astoria, Oregon. I walked around the port area, and saw a lot of interesting places. (Some of the rest of the motel's style could be googie as well, maybe.) Not your typical "tourist" area or center of town. Image taken with phone and processed with GIMP.

Park Fountains (HFF, H.A.N.W.E.)

17 Feb 2023 34 28 586
Taken in a lovely park along the MIssissippi River, in Muscatine, Iowa. This town is overshadowed by the "Quad Cities" nearby, but is worth a stop for itself. This park looks like a nice stop on a hot summer day. (The PiP shows more of the river front). Did you know that this was a major pearl button manufacturing town in the late 19th century? There is a statue in this park to the mussel fisherman of that time. Image taken with phone and processed into square format with GIMP. Using the square format allowed me to crop until there is some Rule of Thirds behavior present.

Valletta, Malta, Barrakka Lift Panorama

08 Apr 2022 8 302
When we took this amazing elevator up to the gardens and fortress in Valletta, Malta, I wanted to get a good photo of the lift system. However, my main camera didn't make panoramas. So, I made a "vertical panorama" with the phone. Image processed with GIMP. [View on black]

In-N-Out Cheeseburger (H.A.N.W.E.)

06 Feb 2020 1 493
Taken with the phone using opencamera, and processed (just a little) with GIMP. This is the In-N-Out cheeseburger, taken on September 18, 2019: National Cheeseburger Day! For In-N-Out fans: cheeseburger with one extra cheese (1x2), extra spread, extra toasting of the bun, no onion. I turned off the flash on the phone, so this is really taken by "available light". In fact, window light, which has its own lovely lighting quality.
