Visited the Gilmore Car Museum today and had a great time wandering through the old cars, taking snapshots of hood ornaments and other details. A very fun place to visit - a world class collection of vintage autos.
Here are some photos of hood ornaments - I should have noted the names of the cars but didn't think about that:
Just dropped off three pieces at the Battle Creek Art Center for the Signature Artists group show "Beyond Boundaries."
The show will run from June 4-24 at the Art Center of Battle Creek, 265 E Emmett St, Battle Creek, MI 49017. Artists' Reception will this Sunday, June 4, from 2-4PM.
I interpreted "boundaries" as the technical things that you do to make photographs - aperture, shutter speed, etc. - so to get beyond them I broke out the Holgas which don't let you do much with settings. And then I tried to take photos that included boundaries - like the a ditch or the fog lines on a highway. Shot in March / early April.
Here are the three pieces I entered for the show, plus the post card / annoucement:
A dandelion from my yard:

Closeup of a Kawanzan cherry bloom:

That ubiquitous spring flower...
