Free Microstock Photos

Like most of the microstock sites, 123RF has a selection of free photos. Difference is, You can actually find some of mine in here…. Here my favorite from among todays “recently ending” freebies, but the free part expires in 14 minutes....

123RF

I joined another microstock company at the end of last month, and have built my portfolio a good bit throughout August. This is 123RF, and here's my portfolio with them.

And here's a shot from last year's harvest time, late September 2006. It's getting close to fall.....

Pretty Power Pole Poses for Picture

OK, another geeky powerline shot. At least this one adds a pretty sunset! This was taken just a few hundred yards from Tuesday's image, and 5 minutes later. But directly into the sun, instead of (pretty much) due south.

Bumpin' On Sunset

My son and I made a quick visit to the Watershed Nature Center the other day, while waiting for the wife/mom to do a little shopping. We had a nice walk, even though the water is WAY down, and there weren’t many as birds in evidence as usual. Just the dog-days of summer, I suppose.

Tobacco Farming

3:40 in the morning and I’m posting to my blog. Now That’s pathetic. Sometimes ya just can’t sleep, for no real reason at all. Twenty-Thirty years ago, I’d read a book. Now, I can really waste the hours, browsing the internet. Sigh. Anyway, this is an image from "The Homeplace", a “living history” farm at Kentucky’s Land-Between-The-Lakes.

Line Art

OK, every once in a while, y’all have to put up with a geeky power-system shot. Deal with it. This is a transmission tower along one of our local bike trails. Rendered in High-contrast. I’ve always liked these “line-drawing” renditions, but could never ever figure out how to do it in my “wet darkroom” days. It’s not too hard to do in the digital darkroom, as long as you’re not trying for microstock quality!

Mose Allison!!

You may wonder, who the heck is Mose Allison?? Well, he's the guy that wrote "Young Man Blues" and "Eyesight To The Blind", great songs by the Who. I've only recently heard the original versions, along with some of his other stuff. I really like it, quite different from the Who, though. Gonna have to pony up and buy a disc of his stuff......

Fenced In

Another one from Indiana Dunes. This is probably my favorite, with a little added grain….

From A Window To A Screen....

I found a beat up old grainery along old Rt. 66 (aka Interstate 55), about 1 hr south of Chicago… Here’s a couple of details….

Stormbringer Coming....

Leaving Chicago yesterday, I drove into, and through one of the rather dramatic thunderstorms that blew through the area. This photo was taken at 3:20 in the afternoon, just bit north of Bolingbrook. When we got to Bolingbrook, the 4 lanes each direction were bump-to-bumper creeping, in driving rain, with tornado sirens blowing nearby… yuck.
