Black and white photo in portrait format of a man preparing orders over a mobile commercial charcoal grill.

The grill is covered by an adjustable wooden roof hydraulic roof with steel frame. The right centered supporting has a large diameter (~0.7m) circular grill height adjuster attached. A rectangular steel warming tray lid sits on the far left of the chrome colored table counter in front of the grill.

Eight large slabs of steak and chicken are lined from left to right cooking on the grill grate. A large stainless steel pot is in the far left corner simmering baked beans. Two medium sized rectangular warming trays are in the far right corner.

A man in his 60's wearing eyeglasses, and dressed in all black baseball cap, short sleeve T-shirt, apron, and latex gloves is pictured from waist up in the left center of the photo. He is holding a large hoagie in both hands above the grill ready to toast the opposite side.

The background consists of a chain link fence at the same height of

Black and white photo in landscape format of a group of 11 photographers in a photo club or workshop lead by an older gentleman.

The young photographers are grouped in two rows with their backs to the camera in the lower right quadrant of the frame. The first row has 7 people kneeling and sitting actively taking photos. The second row, closer to the camera, has the remaining four photographers doing the same and the leader/instructor.

Their subject is a young woman in the center of the photo. She is leaping in the air in the middle of an arched walking bridge over a small canal. At the apex of the jump, she has both hands above her with palms facing the sky, and both knees bent behind her at a 90 degree angle.

The background of the photo consists of: tress behind and left and right of the walking bridge; a young girl with back facing the camera on another walking path on the opposite side of the bridge in front of a fresh water lake; and thick cumulus clouds in the top center of th

Black and white photo in portrait format of my son practicing soroban (abacus) calculations.

The photo was shot as my son is sitting at a table over his right shoulder from behind. His head and top of right should fill the entire left third of the frame. His left hand is holding the left side of the soroban to keep it steady, and his right hand is moving the 8th upper bead from the left. The soroban is resting on top of two sheets of multiplication and division math practice sheets of paper.

Directly left and above above the sheets of paper on a corner of the table is a round ceramic dish holding office utility clips. Above and middle of the sheets of paper is a small binder memo book. Above that is a keyboard and monitor facing opposite my son. Above and to the left of the sheets is a rectangular pencil eraser. And under his right forearm is a ball point pen.

131/365 Ramen shop, part 2

#photography #manualFocus #365project #blackandwhite #monochrome #darktable #SilverEfex #50mm

High contrast black and white photo in square format of two Japanese chouchin (提灯), or paper lanterns, hanging from the ceiling in a ramen shop.

The photo is metered for highlights and underexposed to give the feeling of a dimly lit room. A wide aperture was used to isolate the first lantern in the top half of the frame, which seems to be hovering in mid air, as the hanging ceiling bracket is barely visible. Two vertical painted lines on the left half, and small evenly spaced horizontal inner frames, run from the lantern's top to bottom. The right side has small vertical Japanese lettering in three columns, three more Japanese words circled in black, and a sake container to the right.

The second lantern, positioned below and slightly to the right of the first, is out of focus due to depth of field, but a dark colored crescent is visible in the center.

The far background has a barely visible painting with randomly shaped light colored vertical lines against a dark background, and two

130/365 First time we've been to a ramen shop in over 10 years. There's a lot of good things about living in rural/suburban America, but unfortunately many types of ethnic restaurants are non-existent.

#photography #manualFocus #365project #blackandwhite #monochrome #darktable #SilverEfex

Black and white photo in landscape format of a mural inside a ramen restaurant.

Two Japanese chouchin (提灯), or paper lanterns, are hanging from the ceiling in front of the mural in the top left and right of the photo. 富士山 (Mt. Fuji//Fujisan) is written in Japanese vertically on the left of each lantern with an ocean wave and part of the mountain drawn on the right.

The mural has a chain of matsu (松) pine tree brannches extending from the top left corner to the middle of the frame. On the top left of the mural, a rising sun behind 富士山.

Under the mountain are ingredients from the restaurant's signature ramen dish: three sheets of nori, two pieces of char sui, and corn. Above the nori sheets three strands of ramen noodles are held above the dish with a pair of chopsticks/hashi (箸) by a kabuki yakusha/actor (歌舞伎役者) right arm extended, left hand holding a soup both ladle at waist height, and dressed in traditional kimono. He's intently concentrating on the ramen as if finishing its pres

129/365 Am thankful I retired from civil service. Government red tape & inefficiency. :(

In this case it took months for the city to notice the rotted, unsafe wooden planks. Sign and barricades followed over two months ago, but work still hasn't started. Guarantee the project is stuck in contract bidding hell. :(

#photography #365project #blackandwhite #darktable #SilverEfex #signs

Black and white photo in landscape format of a closed & barricaded walking path closed due to safety concerns.

A temporary steel mobile barricade stretches horizontally across the bottom half of the photo with 8 evenly spaced vertical support bars. A warning sign is attached to the 4th to 2nd support bars counting from right to left that reads:

[black and yellow triangular warning icon with exclamation point]
TEMPORARY
CONTRCUTION
WALKING
PATH
[large double sided arrows]

Behind the barricade are dark colored wooden planks perpendicular to the bottom of the photo and a chain link safety rail fronting the ocean. An ocean inlet and coastline are in the far background with cirrostratus clouds looming above.

High contrast black and white photo in portrait format of a locked entryway at a ferry terminal.

Two large signs with vertically centered text in the middle of the frame read:

Top sign:
SECURITY NOTICE
FACILITY IS UNDER
CAMERA
SURVEILLANCE

Bottom sign:
CAUTION
GRATED
WALKWAY

The gate is made of two doors framed with large rectangular beams on its outer sides. The two vertical inner beams of each door are framed in the photo about 20 percent from the left, and are secured by a single padlock about 20 percent from the bottom. A large diameter cylindrical handle running horizontally across the entire width of each door, and small diameter rods run vertically from top to bottom.

In the background the metal grated walkway, side guardrails supported by triangular beams, and roof structure converge into a small rectangular point in the top third of the photo.

#photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #SilverEfex #framed

Black and white photo in portrait format of a man caught in mid-stride walking outside of a small business.

The photo was taken inside the business looking out into the street through the front entrance to create a slightly left-tilted "frame". A male passerby, dressed in dark pants and short sleeve T-shirt, is entering the frame from the left and looking at something on the outside wall facing the street. His left hand is in the middle of pulling down a pair of sunglasses propped on his head. His right arm is bent at a 90 degree angle at his side, and he's holding a mobile phone with thumb above it's face as if in the middle of texting someone.

Outside the business, lined on the sidewalk are a number of small and large planters visible in the middle of the door frame. In the far background two cars passing by in opposite directions are partially visible, as is another small storefront on the opposite side of the street.

121/365 Hawaii has a very unique, laid back and informal island lifestyle.

I've heard of Hawaiian Pidgin before, and know that "howzit" is a salutation with the rough equivalent of "how is it going?" or "what's up", but just found out the U.S. Census Bureau recognized pidgin as one of the official languages of Hawaii in 2015.

Busy today and barely kept my 365 project streak alive today by 55 minutes.

#photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #SilverEfex #365project #hawaii

Black and white photo of the dashboard in landscape format of two vanity license plates prominently displayed on top the inside dashboard of a custom car through the front windshield.

The Hawaii license plate is on the passenger side with the word "HOWZIT?" in all caps vertically and horizontally centered and taking up two thirds of the plate. Above that, vertically and horizontally centered in all caps is the word "HAWAII" with font about a quarter size compared to "HOWZIT?". A rainbow arches from the bottom left and right edges of the plate. The bottom of the plate has a barely visible "ALOHA STATE" between the bottom edges of the rainbow.

The left third of the other license plate is underneath the Hawaii plate and not visible. What is visible: "HINGTON" on one "line, "GREEN MV" next, "PNW EXCLUSIVE C.C." next and " EVERGREEN STATE" on the bottom.

The rest of the interior is slight out of focus due to depth of field. A dark colored couch seat with middle divider, dark colored stee

120/365 John chronicled +50 years with his 1958 Thunderbird during our 15 minutes chat. It survived 2 marriages, multiple overhauls, and "rough use".

A film shooter, he proudly showed me a number of prints taken on journeys with his car across the US.

His passion made my day. IMHO sticking with anything for over 50 years is admirable. Wished him many more years of good memories with his beloved.

#photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #SilverEfex #365project #vintage #classic #cars

Black and white photo in landscape format of the proud owner of a white convertible 1958 Ford Thunderbird.

John is dressed in dark steel framed rectangular sunglasses, white T-shirt with a Ford Thunderbird printed across the chest, dark colored unbuttoned collared shirt over the T-shirt denim jeans, and black shoes.

Before taking the photo John asked to give him a couple minutes to close the trunk and engine, and retract the convertible's soft-top roof. He then propped himself up on the driver side door with right hand placed on the small side window, right knee bent over the door, and left left planted on the ground for balance.

Groups of spectators to the car show, a number of other cars on display, and a typical US small town business and residential structures are in the background.

118/365 See this quite often; a forgotten item in a park or other public place. It always makes me wonder what caused the item's owner to be distracted and forget they left something behind.

The mug was likely a gift. :(

#photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #coffee #SilverEfex #leftBehind #forgotten

Black and white photo in portrait format of a steel coffee mug forgotten and left behind in a public park on top of a trash receptacle.

The top part of dark colored cylindrical trash receptacle is centered in the bottom third of the frame. The receptable has a "roof" over the opening to dispose of trash. Sitting on top of the roof is a dark colored handleless steel mug with four ribs at the bottom. "Only the best Dads get promoted to Grandpa" are inscribed above the ribs in white-lettering.

In the background: a steel guardrail running horizontally across the frame directly behind the trash receptacle; a left-tilted power line with power lines running horizontally from left to right across the top of the frame in the far distance; an open gazebo in the middle of the frame in the mid distance; dark colored foliage and trees in starting in the middle of the frame and extending to the top left in the mid distance.
