Thank You Carmen

Recently a remarkable man passed away. Carmen Neff was a stalwart of Chowchilla and a very generous man all around the world. He was known as the ‘Windmill Man’. He not only owned many patents on these remarkable machines but installed them around the world, at times free of charge.

He allowed the photo club to visit him a couple of times (we only asked twice). Here is my small tribute to a WWII hero and local hero as well.

Sparkley Beer

Thought I’d share a still life I did a while back. This is one of my first still lifes and was inspired by a photo I saw of a welders sparks. Since I don’t have a welder I used a grinder and a piece of steel. No I didn’t drink all the beer, warm beer foam doesn’t last long. This little experiment taught me a lot about patience, now I just have to remember that lesson.
