Five Mile Dam - old Instagram


Cleaning up my photography files not only on my computer but also on all the different social media sites, where I regularly (or more irregularly) post, I stumbled upon this Instagram originally shot in May of 2012, with a Motorola Droid. I couldn't remember, that this was my first picture I also published on Viewbug.

Unfortunately I can't remember what filters I used with my phone - these days I normally published onto Instagram as is, without using the filters. Exceptions may be stuff on the road, sunsets, neon signs to make more "artsy" contribution. The resolution could be better, but for a first generation smart phone this was quite amazing and yes we have come quite some ways since then.

The picture depicts "Five Mile Dam" in Hays County, Texas - between Kyle and San Marcos. I've seen this river from dirt dry, no water at all to raging floods, sweeping parts of houses and even whole cars away. But in general it's a lovely spot to visit, especially in summer, when you can swim behind the dam.

Vintage Fun

This is an old blog, from 2 1/2 years ago, containing some of my mobile phone photography - even though hardly ever shooting with my phone anymore, I still think that some of these "old" images captured the moment, I was looking for and trying to preserve it. (Oct 2016).

Twenty20 (formerly InstaCanvas) is a social media platform to showcase, discover, and buy the best in mobile photography & art.

They hold challenges regularly and for this weeks contests I entered an Instagram I shot almost a year ago. A friend of mine bought a 48 (?) Plymouth I did a photo study on.

Twenty20 - Challenge: Vintage II - Plymouth 

Another challenge open this week is Fun. I chose an Instagram, I shot last summer of Country Funker (Mike) Barfield. Shot during one of his shows at the White Horse, in Austin, Texas

Bluebonnets - Spring In Texas


Spring in Texas 
After a good freeze and enough rain, bluebonnets can be found all over Central Texas - love this flower and yes it is the National Flower of the State of Texas. Shot this at a friend's house, glad he had a small windmill in the background too.

Chicken Shit Makes You A Winner

You are hollering. Loud. A simple number. 18. Over and over. Your eyes are fixed on a number grid. You are not alone, there are 50 others...
