RIP MIKE

Tonight, I had a fabulous night going to Decatur to see a friend of mine participate in a fundraising event for Girls Rock Camp Atlanta. In a matter of two and a half days, women form rock bands, learn a new instrument, and create an ORIGINAL song to perform at a coffee house on the third night. These women come from all walks of life and geographic locations, and they rock! My friend played bass in her newly formed band called "Black Ice," and it was so much fun being there to support her and her efforts for this organization. You may recall from ages ago that I wrote about her daughter performing in Girls Rock Camp last summer (and that, folks, is when the HOTDOG narratives began! See: http://365project.org/darylo/365/2013-07-13).

After the show, I hoped to meet with an old friend--another musician who I adore and admire. He was free for dinner, and we sat in an upstairs bar eating hamburgers, tater tots, and fries, catching up on our lives. He even made me a CD of music--ah, I love that. It entertained me on the way home.

Which gets me to this photo and the other one I'll link you to for the night! I drove back by way of this location: Cabbage Town, near Oakland Cemetary (I ate dinner in Grant Park next to the "Six Feet Under" pub), KROG STREET "tunnel." This little underpass is famous for its graffiti, and I used to traverse it back in the day when I was a fearless gal. Tonight, the photos were taken from the car as a driveby. I'll be back at night with a tripod, but my nifty-fifty did pretty well tonight!

Here's the other photo I processed with natural selective colors: http://365project.org/darylo/365/2014-02-16 HOTDOG! ;)
Sounds like a fun night! Great capture! Love the contrasting colors in this shot! Such excellent clarity too!

Hot dog. I feel as if I should get a college literature credit for all the reading I have done this morning!! Fabulous graffiti capture!

The Picasso-like skull is the attention getter here. Good image that translates to B&W very well.

@grammyn haha! I can't bestow college credit anymore. I quit my day job. ;) But HOTDOG points, now that I can do!

@rvwalker Yes, the skull was my favorite part. It was underexposed but with the processing, thankfully, I could pull it all out. Can't wait to go back there with a tripod (and a friend--it's a bit somber at night and well creepy too).

How interesting to read what you have said! this picture is rather agressive and attractive because of it!

Wonderful graffiti artwork! Love the Girls Rock Camp. Sounds like a rock'n time.
