Headed to my moms this evening and the wife says she needs to stop at wal-fart, on black Friday! I didn't go in just watched the bucket loads of stupid in the parking lot

Had a very mellow black Friday.  After a cold and gray Thanksgiving, took advantage of warmer weather and sunshine to go for a drive today, over to charming Chagrin Falls.  Saw a black Ferrari 488 parked there.  Went from there north to Lake Erie via some beautiful winding, hilly roads along the Chagrin River through horse farm country.  Went up to Geneva-on-the-Lake to the Old Firehouse Winery for a late lunch and wine tasting, bought a few bottles.   Walked down to the beach behind the winery, enjoyed a few minutes of listening to the waves lapping at the shoreline..

One neat thing is the Firehouse winery was stocked full of old firetruck toys--Nylints, Tonka, etc.

The Bengals are as dysfunctional as a 'pro' team can be due to an owner who may be the real life inspiration for C Montgomery Burns from The Simpsons.

If you remember or are into 80's rock.....you'll understand the slam on the shirt

If you ever make it to NYC, it would be well worth a visit, it's the only photographic store I've seem that takes up a whole block, sadly over the years a lot of our independent photographic stores here in the U.K. have closed down.

Ha!   I like the way they used the air space by putting a totally unrelated apartment building on top of that historic building!  Only in New York!

Unfortunately for most people today, photography is now done with their iPhone.  It's going the way of hobby shops...

My father was a professional photographer in his early years. He put himself through college shooting weddings.  He had his dark room in what was originally the coal storage area in my grand parent's basement.   He taught me how to take pictures when I was young, focusing on centering the image and getting a good result.  No cut off heads or feet in my photos!     He died right before I got my first $800 Mavica digital camera.  I've always wondered what he would have thought about that!

I still have some of his cameras and equipment.
