“If someone as blessed as I am is not willing to clean out the barn, who will?” ~~ Ross Perot
This is in honor of my friend Teri, whom I’ve never met! But I enjoy her photography. That has to count for something. She posted an image of a red barn last week. I liked her red barn. This is my response. My homage. I did not have a red barn so I made it black and white. Use your imagination. Then go visit her site. Then go visit my site to see what color this black and white red barn really is.

Kingman Crossing
April 17, 2016
My wife flew to Beijing (the one in China) last weekend. Her flight left at 5 am on Sunday morning so I dropped her at the airport at 3 am and then, since I was already awake and in the car, I drove to Kingman (the one in Arizona) and then to points even further east on Route 66.
“…You’ll see Amarillo
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona; don’t forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino
Won’t you, get hip to this timely tip
When you make, that Cal-i-fornia trip
Get your kicks, on Route 66.”

Have you ever heard about Wednesday 13? Neither do I…
I love walking at the seaside these days, it’s become a place of empowerment for me.
Goldfield Hotel, Goldfield NV
“There was a girl knocking on my hotel room door all night! Finally, I let her out.” ~~ Henny Youngman
Last week it was a Ford. This week, a Dodge. I don’t know why I have this fascination with old cars and trucks but I always happen upon them and happen to take a shot. This is with the Fuji X-T1 shot in b & w jpg without Lightroom interference.
For a color version, shot RAW, please visit Photos By Emilio!
Somewhere in Goldfield NV Fuji X-T1 JPEG with in camera B&W Film Simulation
I tend to shoot everything RAW and then use Lightroom and a few other editing programs because I enjoy processing my photos. Meanwhile, my friend Joe would go on and on about how he shoots mostly JPEG and does very little editing because the Fuji’s are just that good. I mean, it was really getting annoying. Like a broken record! So, Sunday I put it to the test. Went out and shot jpeg (but backed up every shot in RAW) and set the in camera film simulation mode to black and white. And you know what?
Of course you do.
The guy was right.
Now, how annoying is that?
And now I’m perplexed. I don’t want to start a new blog, but I do want to feature Fuji jpeg’s on my site. Maybe once a week. The perplexion is that I have no idea what to call this continuing feature. Fuji Friday does not take into account that all posts will be jpeg only. So if anyone has a suggestion, please feel free. I will give you credit on every post, if you like.
The view from my desk
Late afternoon sun finds its way past closed blinds. I prefer the light dim while I work at the computer.
