Fujifilm X-T1 and Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R Lens – 1/60 @ f/1.4 -ISO 200

Its very rare these days to see older wooden boats still in operation so when I ran across this one I just had to take an image of the wheelhouse.

Where Harry Met Sally

For those of you familiar with the movie “When Harry Met Sally,” Katz’s was the location of the famous “I’ll have what she’s having” scene with Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal. In fact, hanging from the ceiling above the table where the scene was shot is a sign saying “Where Harry Met Sally… Hope you have what she had! Enjoy!!” And in the midst of all the bedlam and scores of people waiting to sit, this lone table stands empty. Have some fun pondering the reasons for that!

Rhythm in Vinyl

During a recent trip to Nashville, TN I visited the Johnny Cash Museum.  I didn’t have my camera with me so I used only my iPhone to take pictures – I had no idea they would allow it!   Anyway, I loved the rhythm that the vinyl records, each framed in black, made along the wall.  The labels of course were very colorful and a shot in color was nice, but the rhythm was more dramatic when converted to black and white.   The reflections you see are from the opposing wall that had an equal number of vinyl records framed out the same way.

Whether you are interested in vinyl records, or not, you may enjoy a post on my personal blog: Robyn Graham Photography, that includes an image and a quote about the subject.

A cyclocross racer rides through the trees.  While the rest of the country is in a deep freeze us California folks are enjoying beautiful skies and warm temps.  Everyone was sporting shorts and short sleeve shirts for the annual Santa Cross race.
