Smog Boy Revisited

The nearby used car dealership, which was also a "Smog Boy Test Only" station, as the sign has weakly bragged for at least three years, may no longer be a boy o' smog. Since I took pictures just six days ago, the yellow sign, long ago been relieved of its red lettering, has been painted over with gray, and not very neatly. Below: "before" (July 21) and "after" (July 27):

Below: A weird thing happened below. Reflection of Cape Honeysuckle juxtaposed with discarded basketball hoop on top of a retired U-Haul trailer behind the former "Smog Boy" place.

Friends (Plexi)

Neal Dougherty always used to tell his Digital Media Foundations students (about Photoshop), "Friends don't let friends Auto Contrast." I know this because Tyler knows this. Actually, I know this because I was an Art Lab T.A. during my first year at UT.

Since nobody was here to stop me,  I hit Auto Contrast for my images of/through the plexiglass at a local playground. Here are the befores (upper) and the afters (lower). Ultimately, I favor the befores. . .
