I drive by this abandoned service station, across the street from my gas station, probably hundreds of times a year.
On this morning, though, the way the windows on this old truck were fogged up, and the way the light was coming in, it made for a great scene.
The place has a “Your Business Could Be Here” sign on it, but now I wonder what this place will look like in the winter, the spring, etc.
Had a chance to give the new VSCO Film 06 Alternative Process Collection for a spin this afternoon. Each preset is in the caption of the photo.
The fall colors here in Michigan gave these presets a great workout. So far, I’m really digging the Provia and Portra sets. The cross processing is a fun effect, and a bit more subtle than the obnoxious filters a lot of the mobile photo apps employ.
This pack reminds me of a cross between VSCO Film 01, 03 and 05, and now the preset names are getting pretty intense (with superscript!) to show how far the digital files are “pushed.” The high-contrast, high-saturation look with a lot of these film stocks fits my style pretty well.
Love the moods throughout.
Some days, you get up, dress like a zombie, and lurch around downtown Jackson for a while, attacking pedestrians and marveling at each other’s makeup.
Happy Halloween!
When people talk about how much they love autumn, this is probably what they mean: golden leaves, somber weather, a crispness in the air.
I think about fall as kind of a haunted season – and not just because of Halloween. It’s haunted because things are dying, the darkness is growing, and cold winds start blowing. Persephone is leaving, and the world mourns.
It’s tough to keep a camera away from this season. Plus, I have a thing about cemeteries. They’re especially gorgeous and appropriate in autumn.
