Last post I mentioned a sign that caught my eye but the lighting was bad. Last night while cleaning lenses I came across an excellent lens that I almost never use, so I decided to use it to get the image. Again the light was not great.
As I stated last time I wonder who does the signage for the city, The signs often opens themselves for a joke or two and finally have to be replaced, as were the "Prostitution Free Zone" that were replaced by the sign shown in the last post. This time it is not the wording but the concept of placing the signs to start with.
After an absence from doing photography on a regular basis I decided to do a-picture-a-day-for-a-year project. As a direction I am attempting to use modern images where possible to relate times in my photographic past. As I am no longer a spring chicken, I can get philosophical some times. As a Christian I often see God possibly using me and my photography to send short messages. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I have enjoyed making them around Monroe, NC. TheElmo

293: Signs
As some might realize I have a thing for signs, stupid signs that is. While driving home from a errand today I noticed just such a sign. The lighting was unusable so I decided to go shoot it in the morning.
When I got home I was thinking about the sign and recalled a discussion with Steven several months ago about another local sign. As most of our discussions they a to say the least weird. This was about some signs recently posted here which started, "Free Prostitute Zone." That sign left a lot of latitude for interpretation. I thought that might do for an image so I set out to find one.
Seems someone has pointed out the possibilities of that sign and replaced them with one a little clearer. I was disappointed with new sign so I took an imaged and headed home disappointed. When I got home I down loaded the image and glanced at it.
I found the dirty old man in me rolling on the floor laughing. Seems the yellow sign behind the main sign took on a totally new meaning.

292: The Color Blue
I went back to the Art Walk today. In reviewing many items it seems the trend is to bright flashy colors. With this in mind When I walked outside, I found this in the gutter and it seemed to fit.

290: Back Yard Bird
Today was a rainy dull day. The type of day where I like to sit on the front porch and read my Bible and meditate. However today I decided to use the side porch. As I walked out the door Walla!!! I ducked back in the house, grabbed the camera and did the best I could with the existing camera configuration.
