Champagne Velvet

More Michigan finds for the viewfinder. I like signs and painted metal. The person who designed this must have had a day job working for the highway department because to me it looks like a worked over road sign. Maybe that was the idea in order to get you to pay attention.

The beer with the million dollar flavor... I guess a million dollars probably doesn't buy as much beer as it used to when this sign was made. At least I still have my million dollar tastes if not the flavor (or the million).

There is some additional information about CV Beer at www.cvbeercollection.com that looked interesting if you want to take a look. If I collected things I would have been tempted to buy this sign but I collect photos instead which makes loading the car at the end of the vacation a lot more simple.

To And Fro

What's the matter with me,
I don't have much to say,
Daylight sneakin' through the window
And I'm still in this all-night cafe.
Walkin' to and fro beneath the moon
Out to where the trucks are rollin' slow,
To sit down on this bank of sand
And watch the river flow.

- Bob Dylan, "Watching The River Flow."

It's been a weird week with people and dogs in the hospital. Not much happening photographically this week except for a couple of trips to buy supplies for lighting projects. The new flash should arrive this afternoon so I will be playing with that this weekend and reading the manual online at lunch time. I didn't win (didn't expect to) the Orbis ring flash in the Strobist Boot Camp II assignment, so I guess I'll have to get busy and build my own instead...
