And now for something completely different.
Here are a few pix from around the Tehacahpi area. I try to keep my camera with me so I can capture something that catches my eye. Enjoy...

Wow these are awesome! You have talent! :) You should blow some of these up, frame them and put them up in a gallery. These would sell!

Wow!!! I agree with scottso... you have talent. I would love to see more. I took the liberty and listed your website on http://wud1.com/tehachapica... a Tehachapi Links site, I hope you don't mind.

Thanks for the nice comments! Yes, canibeyou, that's exactly where the barn is. I passed by it a few times without my camera and kept kicking myself. I originally shot the picture in color even though there is an ugly orange No Trespassing sign on the fence, but it fades nicely into anonymity in black and white. I'll be posting more stuff as time goes by. My website has been seriously neglected for many years by a busy work schedule, so I'll just post them here for now. I did make a calendar for 2007 for BVS, and am planning to make another one for 2008. Thanks again, glad you like them.

Canibeyou, I don't usually shoot humanoids, mostly landscapes, trains, airplanes, and lately some wildlife. I've recently switched to the Sony A-100 Digital SLR. It's a really nice camera body and Sony is making some nice lenses for it too, although any lens with a Minolta Maxuum mount will fit. I used to shoot film for so many years, and I have thousands of slides that I need to scan when I get some time. But the quality of the A-100 is such that I'm sooooooo done with film. Thanks for asking.

Great Picture of the Old Cummings Valley barn I shot almost that same picture in 2003 then entered it into the local photo contest and took 2nd place in landscape pictures. That old barn just has something about it that makes me want to photograph it. canibeyou: They say the house across the street is haunted I don't recall ever seeing ghosts there but it is a neat old place it would be great if someone would take the time to fix the place and I know people are living there right now. posted by

LuvMyKatz, is your pic on display anywhere? I'd love to see it, congratulations! Do you have info on the photo contest, I might like to try it?Canibeyou, I also have a Sony F828, but I haven't used it since I got the A-100. I'm hanging on to because it has some nice features that I'm not ready to give up yet. That's so cool that the house may be haunted, I love that kind of stuff! I've wanted to take pictures of it too, but couldn't get the angle that I wanted, and it looks like folks are living there so I felt uncomfortable without asking their permission. posted by

It looks like part of the bottom didn't upload all the way but this was the picture I entered I was finally able to get it uploaded into Photobucket for you to see I don't have it displayed anywhere matter of fact I have been so lazy to drive to Bakes to frame it I have it in a plastic bag right now to keep the dust off.. The photo contest is in February and I think its limited to 2 photos now and the cost is 5 dollars per entry open to armature and professional. BTW how do yo go about copyrighting your work?? Is it something I think I should do? posted by

LuvMyKatz, that's a great shot, thanks for sharing! You don't really need to do anything in order to copyright a photo. It is automatically copyrighted the instant you click the shutter. You can take some additional steps, like placing a copyright watermark on your images, like I did in the ones above. You can also place copyright info in a meta-data field of the image file, if you use an image program that can access the meta-data fields. I use Apple's Aperture program and it has full access to all meta-data fields.

GregL...thanks for the blast from the past! The third picture you took on this site is where I use to live. I use to play in that old building. Are the wagons still there? That was taken off of Cameron Canyon Road, right? By the positioning of your photo it looks like you might have been on the road, but you might have been actually on our old property. Wow! This is cool. IF the house is still standing, I remember hearing there was a fire, the A-Frame was my old house. We actually planted a Weeping Willow tree on the hill by the bad curve (which is named Dead Man's Curve) in memory of my brother. But I heard that the tree was destroyed in the fire. Anyhow, sorry to go on and on, but it was a trip seeing that. We lived there in the 80's before the Wind Farms ruined it for us. Thanks again for the memories. Also, is the 5th picture on Cameron Canyon also? It's looks so familiar.

Colitas, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th pictures are all from Cameron Rd. There aren't any wagons left in that shot you mentioned and I don't recall another structure there. There was a house behind me on the other side of the road, though. i noticed the other day on our way back to BVS from the Poppy Reserve that I could see that abandoned building from TWS Rd. I know the windmills are a good thing, but they bummed me out too on several shots, trying to get a nice clean shot of a building or the landscape without windmills in the frame. I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. Yeah, that curve is definitely a treacherous one, and need to be taken very slowly. posted by

Greg, thanks for responding ;) Thank you for you comment about my brother, but I believe I worded that wrong. He didn't on the curve on Cameron Cyn, he died on the back road going to Lancaster right before you get to that straight away. And BTW, the house behind you was our old house...I'm glad it's still standing.
