This is one of my oldest shots ever and it remains a favorite of mine.
It was taken in 1999 with a 1.2 MP Fuji camera.
This is from when I first started taking pictures as a rank amateur. Before that I think I used 110 film camera at Disney once, but that wasn't even mine! I never had one of my own growing up or even later as a young adult. My family just wasn't much on photo taking.
I was actually an adult in my 30's when I finally bought one of my own.
No photography training at all here, no digital imaging skills, hardly much of a camera to work with, nothing much except me, the camera, my white cat, some cool light and an interesting moment in time.
I've now cropped it properly, worked on it a bit in Photoshop in so far as tweaking the colors a bit, but mostly I've left it alone in so far as making it "perfect" goes. I actually like this shot almost exactly as I shot it.
The background is far from flawless and I could have cloned a lot more of the not so pretty stuff out but I chose not to on this one. I actually like it when there's a bit of imperfection going on in a shot and I don't like changing things just to make the picture look more professional. Imperfection can add interest sometimes and I think it actually does that here so I left well enough alone.
Anyway, the subject of this one was "reflections" so here you are.

Waffle House. Saw them when my son and I the other weekend went to Arkansas. We'll have to stop in the next time we're there. I mean if it's where insomniac photographers go, how could I resist?

Ive probably got 15 rolls worth of negs where at least one picture is in a wafflehouse... About to start a getting material for a wafflehouse-centered gallery show...
