Chuck & Paula Beehner > 8-30-2009… Only In The AM… An old AM only radio still hangin’ around the dash of a ‘70s Scout… I wonder if it still works? Would need to fight off the spiders to find out…
Chuck & Paula Beehner > 9-20-2009... Guess this would be in that Halloween genre, shot this at the park, a tree stump. It reminded me of the Ghost Busters!
Chuck & Paula Beehner > 7-9-2009… Nectarine Okay, it is from today…it is from were I was yesterday when I stumbled upon the lizard. I’m not too pleased but I’m postin’ it anyways… Thank you all for your comments on my photos to date. There are a lot of very talented artists out in the world of Smug… Your input is appreciated.
Chuck & Paula Beehner > 8-28-2009… Finally They Have The Guts… Well it has been a long time… The CEO of the company I work(ed) for, Aero Union Corporation, died about 6 months ago. The new CEO, one of the owners that took control, has really mixed things up. Those that had for years held the company together thru tough times have been sent to the archives while those that did nothing have been elevated to power. What a shame, a real shame… While I was one that kept a major program on track, once finalized, I was branded and sent off to the wasteland… This shot taken about the time this transition started does capture the feeling of a company going down in flames… It appears it is… The management team being propelled forward manages in a bubble and perpetuates lies and deceit thou ought the company. It starts at the top with an attorney that obviously has no self esteem. He promotes those below him that he feels are truly beneath him… They in turn promote those they feel are beneath them, and so on, and so on… The spiral has begun… Those that can manage are being replaced with those that have no clue… I am sorry if this presentation is too cynical, it is the feeling of the day as I was terminated today. I feel good about my abilities and will move on. This day has been building for quite some time and is not a surprise at all.

Chuck & Paula Beehner > 12-31-2009… Party With Jack!! Happy New Year!!! Jack and a few of his friends got together and partied for New Year’s Eve… Hopefully someone here is a designated driver! Happy New Year everyone!! Have a safer and saner one than this group! Thanks for all your comments this past year and looking forward to seeing you all on Smug next year!!
Chuck & Paula Beehner > 10-30-2009… Old, old cameras… The simple box camera as best I can identify it is a Kodak Hawk-eye No. 2, Model C. Kodak produced this model from 1926 to 1934. Somewhere along the line someone lost the handle and replaced it with some simple cord, I’ve left it alone. The 3A Folding Pocket Kodak, this one is a model B-4, Eastman Kodak's first postcard format camera, was introduced in 1903 and sold until 1915. That puts this one in the ±100 year old range. This one really had some features…the lens can be adjusted up or down and right and left from the film plane. Shutter speeds of 100th, 50th, 25th of a second, Bulb and Timed, f-stops f4 to f128. An optional glass focus plate was available and an air squeeze shutter release “bulb” could be used. Sweet camera for its day…still is… Detrola Camera, Model A; Detrola (International Detrola Corp) was a radio and record-player manufacturer, based in Detroit, Michigan. They also made a few cameras, over a very short period they were in business - 1939-40. Most were cheaply-made from Bakelite mouldings and pressed tinplate. Have many others, but most are packed away…this will be my last of these for a while. Plan on getting them all out and posting in a gallery sometime in the future.

Chuck & Paula Beehner > 11-10-2009… Yellow Finch The wintering birds are starting to come back…these do hang around all year but not in the numbers we are seeing now. We keep feeders around and they are all over them, I’m trying to avoid showing them hanging on a feeder and more in the natural setting. We have many native trees - alders, birches and sycamores that provide food for them in addition to the feeders. Using the 70MM-200MM, full zoom…cropped top and bottom only. With patience I’ll get some closer shots…
