Greetings and welcome to yet another of my odd little offerings. This one is so focused on the photos that I've added "Shutterbugs" to the title. Normally on Fridays I just post my fluff at the patient folks of Street Prophets. Because a picture I posted a couple of weeks ago featuring a cat standing in front of a barn garnered a comment about old barns I took my scrawny, little camera inside that barn and poked around.
Here's the barn from the outside:
Today I thought I'd just dump a whole series of photos on you: the good, the bad, and the blurry. It's not that many photos and I've done you the courtesy of reducing their size and quality down to manageable blobs of pixels that shouldn't be bigger than 100 kilobytes each, about 2 megabytes in total. No cropping or other adjustments, filters or fiddling was inflicted on the following photos. For reference purposes, I'll give each one a number that can be found as a title that pops up when your cursor rolls over the image-- sometimes called a "hover." Which pictures, if any, do you like? Which ones would you group together? Which photos would you have rather not wasted precious bandwidth to view? Can you see how you might have framed the subjects differently? There are some really bad photos in this batch, and there's a few that I like.
I just went into the barn and fired away. I climbed over the heaps of rusty junk and firewood and took some pictures. I could have taken a lot more.
I suppose it's a commentary on human nature. All of us are drawn to different things. We don't share all of the same interests and passions. Even if we choose to share a common label the meaning of the label has to then stretch to fit our individual idea of what that label means. Each word we use can carry meanings that only we can hear, and every view of the world is seen through different eyes.
So, without further fluff, here's a few views of the inside of an old barn.
Then I stepped outside and took three pictures. One of those is the exterior view in the intro to this diary. Some time later I continued inside...
And that's it. That wasn't too painful was it? Better than a tetanus shot, although you might want to ask your doctor if you're due for a booster after going through that mess...
