The Lyle Lovett tune about Tonto telling the Lone Ranger, "Kiss my ass, I bought a boat and I'm going out to sea…" keeps playing in my head.
quickdraw, I'm really becoming a huge fan of your "eye."
Outstanding images. Thanks for sharing.

Places I Have Been…People I Have Seen. A bit "All Over The Place," I know, but I wanted to share these unique (to me) sightings. Hope someone will enjoy…

“The Killer Awoke At Dawn” is processed this way on purpose.
The next-to-last photo is my favorite.
To me, the subject ("content") of a photograph is all-important. Something compelled the photographer to stop and share what he/she saw. At least that is true of most of my photographs. I'm not talking about obligatory "family" snapshots that we all shoot.
I can overlook quite a bit of technical deficiencies if the content "grabs" me, makes me wish that I had been there to press the shutter. I know I have seen a lot of photos who had all of the preferred technical aspects of proper exposure, composition, sharpness, etc. that just left me cold, because the subject just had no "soul" (for lack of a better word). But, that's just my humble opinion; others might disagree.
Thank you, David in Dallas. I was shooting for that effect.

A variation of your post. Our minds are sometimes quite alike.

Another great story, Voss. Wouldn't you just love to be able to read what's going on in their minds?
Thank you, trackmag, for your comments. I know exactly how you feel. I, too, dream about Lincoln bringing back the full size Town Car. I'm currently driving a 2011 Executive L, limousine. It's my fourth Town Car and I love it. Only problem is it doesn't have a sunroof, which I miss from my previous Town Cars.
Thanks, again, for viewing my photos and responding.

Thanks for the advice, rjaywallace. I appreciate all constructive criticism.

These photos were post processed many years ago when I was just getting started, and, yes, they could be considered over-processed, dsmeltz. Thanks for viewing them and sharing your reaction.
