Garage Sale
IMAGE CAPTION - We did a
whole day of doing garage sales. I felt this sign was the
best I have ever seen for a garage sale. In talking with the
lady she said it was her mothers dress.
taken with cannon G9, 1/40 f4,
ISO 80 FL 112.2.

This has the making of a good story with
the unique signs for a garage sale. I don't think
there is much Human Interest here and this image
would probably do better in the General PJ category.
Score 6. |

I like the ‘dummy’ holding the hat & dress! It
has good color & composition which adds to the
impact |

‘The sign is interesting and the road in pic
does show that it’s along the road. The car is
distracting. Secondly, there is no human being in
physical form. Many a judge do not appreciate those
images in which we have “other person’s art” in it.
In this image we are commenting on other person’s
art.-6 |

- Biography - I am 77 years young,
born in Idaho and lived there a good part of my
life. I first joined PSA in the middle 50’s. I took
my first news picture when I was a 9th grader in
Ritzville Washington of a soap box derby. It was
with a 4x5 speed graphic. I was shown how to pull
the paddles, set the lens at f16, shutter at 1/50
and focus and shoot. I took many pictures day and
night with these instructions. While working on the
paper I did a side line doing school action and
students, portraits, insurance, weddings and even at
the local funeral home for those who wanted them. I
was sure glad when the poniard came along. I did all
my own darkroom work and it was all black and white.
L was using a Rollie for most of this. I used the
Rollei for most all of my work for a long time,
including slides for my own use. I sold a complete
outfit this past year for $650 on eBay to a customer
in Japan. I finally rejoined PSA some 36 years ago.
Have served as area representative, district
reprehensive, Sec of P-J group one for a number of
years, Director of slide study groups. Editor of
Cascade Chapter newsletter got my APSA some time
ago. I am not involved in any job in PSA, Was
vice-chairman and then chairman of the Columbia
Council of Camera Clubs. . Directed 5 conventions.
Ran the slide competition and put out the
newsletter. I am not doing any job now and it’s nice
to see the younger people coming forward in both
organizations. I have a house full of cameras but a
now using a little Canon G9. It’s so nice to just
have a little camera around your neck and not
carrying a heavy bag or two with you. I still got
several Nikons with half shot up film in them. Got
to get out and do some shooting with them some day.
The one salon overseas I send to is still just
accepting slides. I enjoy shooting just about
anything. I feel P-J has to tell a photographic
story. For a long time P-J salons were motorcycles
flying through the air…handicap people racing wheel
chairs. This is OK and some were great but it over
did in course to me. I will always give a good
action shoot my blessing regardless of what it is.. |
