Photos from the rink

Every Saturday morning, weather permitting, a group of old friends and new friends get together to lace up the skates and chase a rubber biscuit around a sheet of ice.  Without this weekly get together, the long, drawn out Minnesota winters would unbearable.

2 Things Challenge - Abundant/Emptiness

This weeks 2 Things Challenge was Abundant/Emptiness.

The housing collapse has drained a once ABUNDANT city budget, creating an EMPTINESS on an entire floor of the City Hall.

2 Things Challenge - Sharp/Dull

This weeks 2 Things Challenge is Sharp/Dull.  When I saw the words, all that came to mind was pencils.  I built a little box with an upper light and bounced an external flash for more fill.

Sharp then dull, sharp then dull, sharp then..........

Sharp focus on the tip, fade to dull background.

2 Things Challenge - Emerging/Satisfaction

It has been a couple weeks since I have touched my camera.  I finally got back into shooting with this weeks 2 Things Challenge, Emerging/Satisfaction.  It was taco night in the Johnson household Friday night, so I decided to try my hand at shooting food.  Below is a picture of a couple stuffed tacos with the the melted cheese EMERGING.  Soon, I will have the SATISFACTION of devouring their goodness.

2 Things Challenge - Instant/Delay

This weeks 2 Things Challenge topic is Instant/Delay.  This week I actually took the picture, instead of using an old photo.

In the morning, my hatred for INSTANT coffee always
creates a DELAY in my caffeine satisfaction.

Just a few shots

Early morning sun casts long shadows on a vacant floor.

Lonely stapler on my desk.

2 Things Challenge - Bumper/Crop

Another 2 Things Challenge entry.  This weeks theme words are Bumper and Crop.  The two submissions I have are both from a car show that coincided with Pie Day in Braham, MN.

This is a cropped bumper from a 1953 Ford Pickup.

I believe this is from a 1959 Chevrolet Impala.
