Since most of my shots are kind of on the same level of mediocrity, I've had a difficult time choosing. Even then it's somewhat subjective depending on what kind of 'favorite' we're talking about.

This one for the reason of badassery.

And this one for reason of sentimentality. The dog in the photo recently passed away (she was only about 7 years old). My grandpa was also critically injured a few months ago when he was checking a water well. The pressure tank's bottom rusted out unbeknownst to my grandpa. It shot up and hit him on his jaw right under his nose. After reconstructing parts of his cheek bones and palate, and a pair of new dentures, he's back to checking water wells and feeding cattle like it never happened. It was damn scary when it did, though.

My grandfather and older cowboys like him have an insane amount of toughness that I can't even describe. He was able to stay conscious, call my grandma on his cell phone (literally the only thing he said was "I think I'm in trouble"), wait for her to get there (she knew where he was), and then make the 1.5 hour drive to the nearest hospital. He's 85 years old.

It's needless to say, I am incredibly glad that I took the opportunity to get these photographs of him and Penny.

Those are both beautiful, and an amazing story of courage and strength from your grandfather! So glad he's doing well now!

Why did/would you ever go in there? :icon_shaking:

Abandoned hospital?

Raj, it was a prison: Eastern State Penitentiary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's now a National Historic Landmark and attracts a lot of photogs. Supposed to be haunted too

Al Capone, our most infamous gangster, was a prisoner there in 1929.

Per ffarl's request and a spinoff of the article posted... can you pick a single, favorite shot of yours to date? And... GO. I'll try, but give me a few minutes (hours) to try to decide
