Bomb Scare

We had a gentlemen doing general home improvement on a trailer he rents out when he found a hand grenade. The bomb squad from Raleigh was called in, and they told us the grenade was rusted beyond use, and took it away. Amazing how boring a bomb scare can be when it takes over two hours for the squad to show up. In my boredom I found a willing model in the inchworm. To the great amusement of the reporter and several officers.

Wow, so I have not been good at updating at all. My apologies. This week will bring massive updates as I have about 2 months to catch up on! First up, a sampling of some of the places I've been. Gotta love any room with an antler chandelier. As for that last photo, a gentlemen was doing his own version of a farm funeral with dead chickens, except the chicken parts were rather large and did not agree with state codes for fertilizer. I was rather sick when on this assignment, no voice and could barely breathe nonetheless smell. I figured what the heck, that wing would be really pretty against the sky with the grass so delicately hiding the remainder of the rotting carcass. So I threw on my wide angle and got down about 2 feet from the thing. The guy who took me out there asked I wasn't gagging from the smell. But I figure, if life hands you lemons make lemonade. Like this wider shot better than anything I shot with my longer lens and it's a different view than you'd expect.
