Loner into the waste did go…
On Friday I happened to be driving through Kirkwood and happened by the old, abandoned Pullman Company Yards. I happened to have my camera with me, so I did some exploring.The Atlanta Preservation Center describes it as
The Pratt Engineering Company purchased this property adjacent to the rail line in 1900 in what was once the City of Kirkwood. In the 1920’s, the Pullman Company bought and expanded the industrial complex for its southeast repair facility. Many of the industrial buildings, characterized by brick clad and riveted iron skeleton construction built by Pratt Engineering and the brick clad reinforced concrete buildings built by the Pullman Company remain on the site.
Anyway, check out the photo gallery.

The old round up
- Digital Camera crop factors

- More solar power
- via Marginal Revolution –
The public’s opinion of past wars improves as a new war approaches. Thus, after Vietnam most people thought the war was a mistake and this held true for decades until the beginning of the Iraq war when the opinion of war in Vietnam suddenly improved! Even more dramatically, a majority of people thought that World War I was a mistake until World War II approached when the percentage thinking it was a good war doubled.
- The worst school murders actually happened in 1927, though it did not involve shootings. It’s a horrifying story.

Scenic views wanted
Does anyone know of any great views of the city? I’ll soon be doing another installment of the fiddler photo series and I’m looking for some good places to shoot. All suggestions welcome.

Tommy Womack at Decatur CD
Yesterday I went to see the immensely talented Tommy Womack at both Decatur CD and later Eddie’s Attic. One of the best shows I’ve seen in years. The photos are from the in-store appearance at Decatur CD.

Quick tab clearing round up
- Meanest quote: they “breed like flies but die in the same way.”
- Joaquin Murietta
- The funniest thing I read on Sunday “A small group of the SOF participated in mass nudity and arson as means of protesting against materialism”. Mass nudity and arson! Probably not at the same time though.
- Why the camera adds 10 pounds.
- Bikes must ride single file on Columns Drive

The elephant is almost eaten
And my crushing workload is almost abated. In the meantime, this guy was on my roof a few days ago.

Swamped
Work comes at me from all sides, but as the saying goes “I’ll sleep when they drive a stake through my heart”. Here are some recent photos. The Safe Place one is kind of creepy.

Christmas 2006
This is a bit late, but here are the photos I took on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day of 2006. Some of them turned out very well. The heat lamps allowed the shadows and the colors to do very nice things. Most of the photos were taken with the lovely new prime lens Mike and Erin got me for Christmas.I overdid the flash, which made many of them fit for conversion to black and white.
