Fall Peppers......a longer journey than expected..

My last entry promised a shot or two of some peppers that I was really taken by. I walked into our local grocery and was slapped in the face by the color and "look" of a cascade of peppers they had on display. The rainbow of color really blew me away so I bought a few....4 to be exact. I had misread the pricing sign and thought they were more expensive than they were....the bill totaled 25 cents. However, that was my big purchase of the day. I have been very busy the last several weeks and I didn't get around to shooting them however enjoyed a new pepper every day as they continued to ripen........and eventually turned a solid red. Nice red but sort of boring.

I had some time the day before yesterday and went out to restock and actually forgot where I saw them originally. It was obvious that the store I was in was the wrong one.....no peppers. I was out of time and let the mission for a better day. Yesterday, through a process of eliminanation, I decided to try Reasor's, another favorite store. Wandering through I found a greatly reduced selection of peppers, however still pretty good lookin' as far as peppers go. This had been the store. I spent another quarter, another splash for the economy.

This is my favorite pre-salsa shot....I love the colors....

Favorite time of year......

This is just a heads up for images that are soon to be posted...within the next couple of days. If you have followed the blog at all you have probably picked up on the face that I love the subtle colors and textures of peppers. I have several that I got the other day and have they have been a blast to have around. It's like having a visual book on the counter top in the kitchen. Every day is a new chapter. I was taken by the color of the peppers in the "original sighting" of them. ( Sounds like a war novel...Peppers !! INCOMING !!!! ) The greens and yellows were just amazing. As the days have gone by.....the plot has thickened and changed. It is just stunning. I'll try to get them photographed today. Advice-Go out and get some and watch....What fun.

Last one Zooooom, Zooooooming away.......

The radical designs of the 30's "Art Deco" cars weren't always necessarily appealing in my estimation. I think I found the ugly duckling of the exhibit. It had the biggest fin to "keep it stable "
at high speeds but I don't think that would be enough to make me like it. Be sure to check out the size of the rear scoops on the side of the car. I hope it could go fast as standing still it could visually cause a tire to go flat. A huge red speed

blur would be beneficial............

It was fun seeing the cars..we'll move on to other projects soon.

Zoom Zooooom Scarab...

We are closing in on the last of the Zoom Zoomz with this remarkable Art Deco car. In the thirties Egyptian discoveries lead the headlines in the papers and the Scarab was directly affected in a "tribute

" design. How wild is this......great party car or kid transport. Drive like an Egyptian.....

Cycle Zoooooommmmm

A couple of more Zoom pieces...we're getting toward the end of what I saw but I felt as though there should be a "Cycle" for the "Cycle Zoomers "out there. I find it amazing that these concepts haven't been picked up by present day designers. How cool could they be tooling down the interstate.

In the 80's I had a 1951 Chevy Delivery truck for my studio vehicle. It was drop dead good looking with a deep brown body and black fenders and running boards. I'll scan the one image I have of it and drop it on the blog soon. That is one vehicle I should have never sold. I love cars....
