Day 149 - Joe's

Today I had to head over to the Southside of Bethlehem to pick up some tickets at out church.  On the way home I saw Joe's Barbershop.  Now I have passed this Barbershop at least once a week on our way to & from church, so today I thought I would stop and take a few images.  As I was taking pictures, Joe came outside to talk with me.  A very nice gentleman who bought this business in 1962 from  previous owner.  So as far as he knows, this building has been an active Barbershop since the early 1950's.  A local establishment that seems to be the hub of information on the Southside, for as I was there, the newly elected mayor of Bethlehem came in, swept the floors for Joe and then sat down and talked to the clients there about the previous elections.

So this is Joe's

All images are taken with the EOS-M w/ EF-M 22mm f/2 STM @ f/3.5

Joe is the barber on the left

Thanks for stopping by today.

Day 148 - A Juggling Act

Well today is another one of those cool very rainy days, keeping you indoors and thinking creatively.  So as I was juggling some thoughts through my head, I came up with this idea of an image.  Although it is only 1 image here, it was really created from 4 images then brought together using Layers in Elements 11. The final processing was done in LR & Silver Efex Pro 2

All images are taken with the EOS-M w/ EF-M 22mm f/2 STM @ f/3.5

Hope you like it as much as I had fun making it ;-)

Day 147 - Memorial Day

My wife & I had today off.  So we went down to Bucks County and did a 4.2 mile walk along the the Delaware Canal. During this walk I took both the EOS-M and the 5D MKII with me.  Here are the images we saw along our way:
