Some Men

Just a Juxtaposition; Just American men in a couple of different locations, costumes, contexts. One is some guys at a meeting of the Economic Club, and the other of some guys marketing underwear at the Gay Pride Day event.

Ravens Collect Themselves

Ravens, typically solitary or in mated pairs, become gregarious in the fall when they mass together to start their southern migration.

Color Casts

In olden days shooting daylight film at night produced slides or negatives with pronounced color cast. I titled this 1982 Kodachrome cityscape from Hamlet, North Carolina, "Hamlet Under Vapors of Mercury", but I'm not certain that mercury vapor lights cause the overwhelming green, or if they were sodium vapor or even flourescent lights.
