So when my brother found out I was into Legos (particularly Star Wars characters, and more specifically Darth Vader), but that I refused to spend money on stuff like this, he started hooking me up with a toy here and a toy there. Daddy Darth Vader now hangs from my camera bag, while little Vader hangs from my key chan. He also got me a huge Lego Darth Vader Alarm Clock that I’ll start using. It comes without a cape, so I’ll probably find some scrap material to make one up for him. By the way, I’ve included a shot below the main shot showing you how I created a hasty studio set up in my hotel room to get a little light on the subject. Like 90 percent of what I’ve been shooting since late fall, this is another iPhone shot.
While driving around Baltimore yesterday, these power pylons caught my eye. Looking at their shapes, with the letter “A” as part of their architectural design, as well as the fact that they were snuggled together like a couple of batteries in a giant toy, calling it ‘Double “AA”‘ seemed appropriate. What do you think?

I’ve still got a HUGE backlog of photographs I shot during my epic Route 66 explore this past fall, many shot with my DSLR, many shot with my iPhone, and many shot with my Fuji X100 (like this one here). I decided to play around with Nik’s Silver Efex Pro a bit to process this one, so here it is… Vic’s Gas for Less. It’s all that remains of this particular gas station across the street from the Ariston Cafe in Litchfield, IL. By the way, I’m planning, at some point, to make it easier for folks to get quick access to all my Route 66 photographs by clicking a Route 66 menu button at the top of this page, so keep checking back for that little addition to the site.
… and on that farm he had a barn, in which he discovered an old chest full of faded photos. He spent day after day poring over his find, amazed at what the photographer had created with such an old analog contraption. He turned one of the photos over, barely able to make out the fading message scrawled across the back… “Be the light”, it said. Message received.
