Okay, Mark, you and I have discussed this photography hobby of yours extensively....outside of first gens, why not share that other hobby, and do it in one of your fabulous pics, and combine 2 hobbies?
So how about a pic of that Dillon collecting dust, LOL!

Since I'm not able physically to start wrenchin' just yet, I'm about to dust off the 8 year old cobwebs off of my reloading equipment myself. Perfect winter hobby! Why not you?

OK I Will give it a shot maybe tomorrow as today is pretty busy.

You are gonna laugh, but I look at photographs like yours as art lovers look at paintings in a museum.

Believe it or not, many elicit emotions, for instance, I don't know why, but that B/W of the nuts with holes speaks..............

mknittle

Thanks Pat. I try to be artistic in my photography. And this comment makes me feel good about my work. "Believe it or not, many elicit emotions" It means I am going beyond just taking a snapshot. Those bolts caught my eye when I was working on another Idea. I looked up and there they were looking at me. I cropped it down a little yesterday and it works much better.

The nuts are cool but I really dig the wine glass! I also typically enjoy artistic shots of old rusty machinery. Not sure why: I just do.

mknittle

Thanks Tim, I was really happy with the wine glass.I like the way the stem reflects in the glass below. That is what got me hooked on the reflections.
I also like rusty machinery and abandoned buildings.

Took me a while, but believe it or not, they scream "Killroy was here". It is the screwiest thing I know, but that's my emotional reaction to them, just something about the holes turning to his eyes..........

That's what you ought to title it, would mess with peoples minds.

mknittle

Yes they do I didn't think of that but they sure do Good title too.

saw this pic while looking around on E-bay and thought of you Mark....sure you could do a better presentation of it though. But maybe food for thought...

Wow, Mark,

Nice photos you did there.




And here, all this time I thought that you were just some wingnut from CA..


When in reality, you are just a wingnut from CA that knows how to shoot pictures..



The nuts with eyes is cool. Kind of along the lines of the "Twilight Zone"...

mknittle

This is really a nice composition.

patdaly

Nice composition, but oh good LORD did they need to arrange it better..... I get the heebie jeebies looking at the pistons out of line, pins sticking out different,and those clips...............

Ok, so I am a wee bit OCD.

mknittle

Thanks "T" the nuts are on an electrical tower. the "eyes" are where they are staked with a punch.

mknittle

I picked up some parts from The Hungry Diesel. I got a fuel pin and 366 Gov. spring and this. It will look real nice.
I was going to build one but am having a hard time getting into the shop.
Augie sent me a link to this one and I really like the idea of the V band flange that fits the HX 35/40 and s300 turbos.

mknittle

I Rubbed on this a little this morning. t needs to be buffed with fine compound. I don't know if I will use them or not when they are all done.
