A TPF Moment

AIRIC · May 31, 2005

Ever since getting back from New Orleans life has been a whirlwind. I got a promotion at work, which has really picked up pace with summer coming on and some new equipment at our labs. As well, I have been trying to keep up with the aviation/airshow scene that is really starting to pick up. I try to plan shoots on weekends but since I dont have a weekend open between now and the end of July it looks like I will be doing an air-to-air shoot next Wednesday evening after work. Never tried that before as I will have limited time but it sounds like a challenge.

Anyway, this evening my wife went out so I took what I know call a TPF moment and drove over to a local abandoned farm and wandered around. This is what I came back with.

Just a few photos for your pleasure. I hope you enjoyed my TPF moment

ahhh how awesome. TPF moments are the best, arent they?

Again I can't get over the fact how much your frames make your TPF-moment-results ("photos" in other words

) live. That close-up on the concrete pipe would be nothing without that frame!

Your TPF-moment-results are once more so good that it is hard to pick a favourite or best. But if I were forced to pick some "most appealing" (to me personally, that is), I'd pick 1, 6, 8 and 9 (hope I counted them right - a little number above each of them would be helpful).

I don't think I would be allowed to enter an abandoned farm-building here. It'd all be blocked off - not that there are many around, anyway...

Nice, mood pictures Airic. You do well sir.

hehehe I think LaFoto has frame envy.

Airic - these photos are absolutely gorgeous, but I don't think they are a TPF moment, I think they are a "Quick run out to the store and buy frames and hang them on the wall" Moment.

Numbers 5,7 and 8 are my favourites. I just love those building shots. But they are all really awesome.

Super shots, I enjoyed each and everyone. Happy for you that you have so much work lined up, as evident in your posts you deserve the work.

AIRIC · Jun 1, 2005

Thanks everyone. I really enjoy shooting and it will always be a hobby/passion first for me and a job second. That is why I do less weddings now, to much like a job.

i'd also jump in there for a handshake! good eye Eric on all these! :thumbup:

Great eye as always Eric, you consistently see opportunity in the ordinary better than anyone. I've almost given up commenting on your posts, as by the time I get to open them over here, there are alway at least a dozen glowing comments from the North American contingent so there's little to add. But to produce a series like this from a short stroll is incredible. Congrats on the promotion too.

Great pics, nice frames.

Chiller · Jun 1, 2005

Another awesome series Airic. When I see your posts, it is like taking a walk through the same buildings. Very well captured sir.

eric, these are great..as always... i love the second to the last though..that is really an eye catcher.....by the way, on number 6..what are the two iron "horns" sticking out from the wall.... i hate to sound ignorant..but i have never seen that before..its a great shot, too...all of them are... but that intrigued me...
