Hammer365: 097/268 The Stand Off

Img_0199

If you subscribe to my Twitter feed or are a Facebook friend you already know there has been a Police stand off right in front of my house.  This all apparently started over a bucket of suds that were not paid for. It is now 10:00 PM and this all started just after 2 this afternoon.  I don't know all of the details but what I do know is this little deal is going to cost tax payers a load of money. Once this is all cleared up I believe the suspect should be sent a bill for every stinking dollar his little pea brain has cost the tax payers along with a decent gross margin.

App: TiltShiftGen then Lo-Mob with TriBlack Film.

Hammer365: 083/282 Garmin World Headquarters

Img_0176

From the front steps of my home I can see the Garmin building (not this view, however). I really like the design of this building and the wave of glass that captures a really cool reflection that is always there but more vibrant with more sun.

App: Cropulator and TiltShiftGen.

Hammer365: 081/284 Oh, Lady Liberty

Img_0174

Perhaps the most entertaining street corner on all of Johnson County, KS lies at the intersection of S Mur-Len Road and W 135th Street.  

  • At least 365 days a year this street corner is the operational showroom for the Little Ceasars dude right there on the SW corner, strumming his pizza guitar.  Want to know a secret?  There two are of them! Yep, they are twin brothers and they alternate working the street corner for the sad little pizza pizza company.  I know this because I ran into them at Pizza Street (a competitor). Both chowed for 35 minutes straight without even breathing and only grumbling and mumbling as crumbs dropped from their mouths.
  • 3 months out of the year on the SE corner one of the previously mentioned Caesar brothers dons the big Incredible Hulk gloves and a green money hat to sandwich board for a business going out of business back over behind Buffalo Wild Wings.  I often wonder how long it will be before they shut down.  And will they employ the Caesar brothers to push 25%, 50%, 75% off chicken legs, last chance?
  • Up on the N side of the NW corner is where I found the subject of today's Hammer365.  These lady Liberties are in every town, proudly waving at passers by. These two cats have soul and rhythm and at least keep themselves entertained for the duration of their shifts. It's like watching someone on crack, I think.
  • Just 100 feet away on the South side of the NW corner (man this is getting confusing) is a big fluffy dog with his tongue hanging out working for the pet shop there. He dances a little but is in the shadow of the dancing ladies.
  • Now there's a new King in town - just a block west is the Cash for Gold dude, sporting a Kings robe, staff, blue blockers and 44 oz Super Big Gulp. He also has a real boom box setting atop his late 70's model disco conversion van to keep his King's groove going.

There is work out there. You just have to want to work.

Hammer365: 017/349 Frozen Blackbob Park (with alternates)

(download)

How about this weather?!?  Well, at least it's above freezing.  I stopped by Blackbob Park on the way home from Church this afternoon to see what I could find.  We've had a heavy fog for the last two days and I thought that added to the effect I was looking for in this shot.

 

This was taken with ProHDR and then modified in BestCamera and even more in MoreMONO to finally get what I was looking for.  The last shot was taken in nosFilter and not modified otherwise.

I love my iPhone Camera.

Hammer365: 011/355 Russell Feed Store

Img_0015

Okay, I cheated a little on this one.  I couldn't get out today to take grab a fresh shot so I'm posting this one from yesterday of the old Russell Feed and Grain at the corner of 175th and Woodland Road in Olathe.  

I spent the day with four new sales reps training and feeding them with knowledge.  This is going to be a great year!
