<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Took these Monday when the river was a couple feet over flood stage -- meaning some minor flooding. I've probably seen the river this high in my lifetime, but my life is long enough now that I can't quite remember it. Plenty of other folks were also in downtown Cincy and Covington taking pics.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Got a fun assignment at work: take pics of the folks who had been with the agency for 25 years. The idea was to shoot each person in their workplace. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It was certainly challenging. I had 15 to 30 minutes with most folks -- who I was meeting for the first time. I tried to keep it simple and get people posed and comfortable. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I mostly used an off-camera flash and umbrella with an occasional second flash. I shot everything with my Nikon Df and cheapo 50mm 1.8 lens -- which I liked for its versatility and the fact that it's small, unassuming and made people a little more comfortable. I have access to a 70-200 2.8 lens, which has awesome optics but is kind of like pointing a bazooka at someone. Most people, it seems, would rather not be on the receiving end of a bazooka. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Above are some of my faves of the 40 people I shot. The <a href="http://www.stevehymon.com/Other/25-year-pics/">whole gallery is here</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'd absolutely love to go into some other workplaces and take pics such as this (if you're interested, email me at <a href="mailto:steve.hymon1@gmail.com">steve.hymon1@gmail.com</a>). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Many people take immense pride in their work even if they don't necessarily feel appreciated. Other than a work I.D. nearly all of the folks above had never been photographed doing their jobs--the ver things that has allowed them to have a life. It was also a pleasure to meet so many different colleagues and learn a little about the many jobs that keep the buses and trains running each day. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was standing at Huntington and this hawk flew right over my head -- I could feel breeze -- and landed right in front of me. While I had camera wipointed at nearby butterfly. Well, okay! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">Went for a walk in the neighborhoods around the L.A. River in downtown L.A. a while back with the camera. Found myself trying to use the colors and bountiful street trash to frame some interesting pics -- finally getting around to processing a couple months later and almost sort of like these. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Some heights bother me. Some don't at all -- hell, I've jumped from a plane twice. The ones that do: trails that drop off into the abyss. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Which is the reason I've shamefully neglected to hike to the top of Mt. Baldy in the past. I heard the trail had some steep drops, thusly I avoided. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Dumb. I finally grew a pair and walked up the other day. There was, indeed, one quarter-mile stretch I really did not like. At all. But I did it without crawling and only nominally hugging the cliff next to the trail. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As for the hike, it's well chronicled elsewhere on the internet. I did the ski lift version and started at the Mt. Baldy notch. The first and last stretch are, as advertised, steep. I huffed and puffed. The summit was chilly. The views: smoggy. I could have picked a better day, but there are always other days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">No epic pics. Just a few snaps above to remember a fun afternoon. I came down the ski lift as it was getting dark out (the lift runs later on Saturdays during summer and early fall) and that was pretty cool. It was a good day.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Snapped all but the last one while walking around downtown Taft, California, in the far southwest of the San Joaquin Valley and a town long associated with the nearby oil patch. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As with Main Streets in many places across the U.S. there are more than a few empty storefronts and what's left is the usual mix of antique stores, a few restaurants and the inevitable karate studio.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The photos were done very quickly without a ton of thought -- and although I noticed my reflection while taking them, I didn't bother to do anything about it. The top photo is my favorite. I'm mixed on whether modern cars add or detract from my urban photos, being too sleek and nondescript to have much visual interest. Perhaps here they serve as a contrast to the old buildings and old-timey feel of the place.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Most of the wildflowers left are yellow, although there are some patches of purple, blue and orange here and there. Thanks to the internet and social media, the place is crawling with people, btw, but still remote enough to provide elbow room, especially away from the main road. </span><br />
