Some days are better Photo A Day days than others… I started with a macro of this grasshopper.

Then the RCC Photography Department’s Graduation Recognition. A framed “Toast”

So I think I am done with PODs and head towards South Carolina to pick up  Sam from her Aunt and grandmother week long vacation.

and the Wienermobile pulls in front of me… and they are hiring! – http://www.mlive.com/news/us-world/index.ssf/2017/07/wienermobile_drivers_wanted_os.html

I followed for a while, hoping it would stop for a picture next to it, I finally gave up and passed it….

and left it in my dust of US 1. If only every POD day was this good!

Testing to see if I could recreate a student issue, so with a variable ND filter and you turn just past “Max” seting, the two polarizing elements do funking things.

Teacher hell? Grading the final projects, including Up Close and Personal. 36 strangers x 25 students. Been through them 5 times (checks focus, technical settings, overall feel, double checking and grading the curve) That equals 4,500 looks so far. I will check them all one more time before putting in grades… Students had only half the semester on the assignment and many did it in the last two days, telling me “I was stressing them out”
