Bill Pador > Good Morning Everyone, First I'd like to take a moment to say THANK YOU for all of your wonderful prayers, well wishes, comments & emails yesterday reference my not feeling well.  It over whelms me with the support & personal messages that you all have sent me in my time of need and honestly you are the best damn group of friends a guy could ever have. Unfortunately the injuries, disabilities & chronic pain that I deal with on a daily basis are sometimes very hard to deal with physically & emotionally and can really kick a man hard, but when you have such good friends & fellow artists that honestly care about you it REALLY HELPS A LOT ~! To be quite honest when I started reading all the comments it brought a tear to my eye knowing that I wasn't alone in my fight but also to read that so many of you also deal with chronic pain or have someone close to you that suffers from this. No matter how tough life can be it's always easier when you have some sort of support group be it family or friends and you have all made me feel very loved & cared about and for that I can't thank you enough, so from me to you I say THANK YOU !

Now - I had an interesting past 12 hours, as my no frills image out my front door shows we got about 4" of snow over night SO FAR with another 3"-4" expected all day long. But the most fun came at about 10:30pm last night while I was sitting in front of my computer in my basement office when my house began to SHAKE & RATTLE - Because we had a 3.0 "EARTHQUAKE" centered about 15 miles from my home right here in NJ !!! Yup my 1st FELT Earthquake at age 44 and it was a small one but it sure scared the crap out of me when stuff moved across my desk and ceiling panels moved for a few seconds. I first thought a bomb went off close by but soon found out it was a Quake after I dialed 911 to report the blast and was told what had happened and all was safe LOL. I felt a little stupid for calling but the news is reporting that 100's of people called in the same thing so I wasn't alone LOL. No damage & no injuries just a really weird feeling that I don't wish to repeat anytime soon ;)

Hope you all have a Wonderful & Productive day and I promise to catch up on my comments in the next day since I am feeling about 70% today and SHOULD be 100% by tomorrow and can concentrate on getting back to my normal routine. May God Bless ALL of You, You guys ROCK !!!

Bill Pador > "Happy Mistake"
"seeing it bigger is better"
I felt it was about time I looked to do an abstract piece since it's some of my favorite things to photograph for fun and I haven't done one in a while. So when I left the house before I started thinking of what I'd like to do and as I drove down this one lane road (all 9 miles of it) to the main highway I started cranking off some frames at the road side, lakes etc. as I passed them using a slow shutter speed after choosing an aperture that would allow me enough light but slow everything down to blur the road side out. Well this one turned out to be a HAPPY MISTAKE and was not planned at all. I was just testing my settings as I drove about 45mph and using my right hand I laid the camera across my left forearm out the window and got this one. I didn't even see what I had until I returned home a short while ago and started looking on the monitor at my results LOL.

I really liked the lines in the road, guard rail and tree blur but then to have the image in the mirror be so in focus and having the road curve off into the blurred road like that really gave me a smile, with the telephone pole and bright sky right in the middle of the trees up top between the shadowed trees, now that's a abstract mistake I'll take any day ;)

This is straight out of the camera except the file size was downsized a bit, I tried a few things in post, even some frames but everything I did seemed to screw it up one way or another so I just left it alone. Hell I liked it so here it is but I was torn between this one and my ALTERNATE HERE in my over flow gallery, which was a car passing by a short time after this one was shot and reminded me of that car from that scary Car Movie "CARRIE" from the Early 80's (OK so I'm dating myself LOL) what do you other MID AGED folks think? Does it remind you of CARRIE too ???

CORRECTION: Thank You LESLIE for pointing out that the car movie was was "CHRISTINE" and not Carrie !! That's definitely the one I was thinking of ;)


Ma-halo
