I use digital and take the images in color then convert them in Photoshop. I get better control over the end result that way. I too like black and white images. B&W portraits can be much better than color IMHO. also like the ones with the subject not looking directly at the lens.

Yup, but there aren't too many fotomats left in the parking lots. There are professional photographers that will only use film. Eric Clapton once said that digital music like MP3's are like seeing the grand Canyon through a screen door. That is sort of what anti digital photographers are saying...Mark Edit: Fujifilm still sells film:

Hope you don' mind me playing with your image, Mark. This is about the best IMHO that I could do with out getting too complicated. It is a tritone Black, blue and pantone (light off grey) If I went much farther I lost detail. I am a big fan of dark brooding clouds.
it is a little darker on my editing computer.

Mark, that is cool. I like how the sun shining on the island is highlighted. I have shown this pic to a few people here and they all want a copy of it. The Gal that owns a store that I go to wants to blow it up and frame it. It just shows that even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every once in a while ...Mark

Today I finally started my king pins and steering linkages. King pins werent too bad to my surprise and they both broke loose easily. Also, cleaned up the rust off the knuckles and painted them. Will need new front pads. Apparently driving without rear brakes for a few years wore them down pretty fast lol.

The first one is across a little valley that burned a couple years before the shot. At first I didn't think It would be very good but it came out pretty nice.
The second one is about 2000 feet above the American river at Mosquito Ridge.

Yeah, they were about 50 miles from the house. That is the only thing I miss.

Eastern KS, is like eastern, OK where Mknittle is, is not to bad. Lots of rolling hills and green grass. That's where I grew up. Western KS is flat as flat can be. Nothing but a wheat field on the left, wheat field on the right, blacktop ahead and blacktop behind for hundreds of miles.

During Friday's trip to Murrieta an electrical problem caused the little 1 amp fuse in my GPS to pop. On the way today to get a fuse and some groceries I tried to adjust the mirror and that came unstuck from the windshield for the 3rd time.
While gluing the mirror back on I replaced the fuse and at least the GPS works again.
Just like Rosanne Rosanadana used to say...

Is it ok to paint machined surfaces on the knuckle, caliper bracket and spindle? I was wondering if these parts need to have bare metal to metal contact. It doesn't appear that they were ever painted in those areas. These parts got really rusted on my truck. The passenger side splash shield is barely salvageable.
