Okay, I know what you're all asking. Why the heck is Ron posting a photo of a toilet? Well, I went to Sabin Point again today at lunch since heavy downpours were imminent and I really wasn't dressed for bad weather. This toilet, sitting on the edge of a driveway right next to the park, was the intended subject. Why it caught my attention was not so much the fact that you don't normally see a toilet out on the side of the road, but the fact that this toilet has been sitting here for two years! At some point, I'm guessing the guy that owns the house finally realized that the trash men weren't going to pick it up, so he might as well leave it there just in case he comes home late some night and can't make it into his bathroom in time! What other explanation can there be? Anyway, my warped sense of humor finds the entire concept absolutely hilarious.
Post processing started with a neutral greyscale filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, and boost black. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.
@cejaanderson LOL Thanks, Jane. I wonder if I can convince one of my equally warped friends to pose while sitting on it reading a newspaper.
