At the M.A.M. - Museo de Arte Moderna - aka Museum of Modern Art, in Mexico City. Starting with the universal and obligatory won't-you-take-a-picture-of-me-while-I'm-standing-in-front-of... An older Japanese couple, moving slowly and talking quietly but animatedly to each other about nearly...

In front of Mexico City's Museo de Arte Moderna (Museum of Modern Art), a soccer ball... transformed into a potted plant. (It was actually part of one of the Museum's current exhibits... about the multiple uses of soccer balls.)

Walking around Mexico City...

In many parks and public spaces in Mexico City, one sees art, often huge pieces of sculpture. What I never realized is that some large sculptures, especially the ones which started out very white, can get dirty over the years. Fortunately, there are urban clean-up crews, who come by and give the...

Of course, pretty much every small town seems to have at least one tire store. And every tire store has a space, usually out in back, reserved for truly dead tires.

Seems like every small town has its alleys. And half of them are dirt, unpaved. The kinds of places neighborhood kids love to play in, or ride their bikes down. Or splash through the huge mud puddles after the recent rains.

PART 2... the Downhill Dummy RUN! (Not quite as along as Part 1) First out of the gate was a Storm Trooper who charged downwards...as the many spectators cheered. Tiger-striped Free Kitty got some oohs and appreciative aahs-- There were a lot of younger skiers and boarders lining both...

Our local ski mountain, Mt. Ashland, has a featured event near the end of the ski season: the 'Downhill Dummy Race'. Essentially, you create a fanciful dummy on skis - the wilder the better. Then, one by one, the dummies are pushed onto a short downhill course which ends in a slight hill and...

Great image. And... is their Ice Cream truly delectable?

Harrisburg, Oregon.

Creswell, Oregon... on the main street.

I LOVE this series of images. Really hard to pick a favorite among them, but I keep coming back to the first shot - of the snail amidst the dead leaves.

The woodpecker's hollow 'granary tree', seen on a nature walk.

A brilliant Porcine Portrait, Gerry!

I love so many of the photos you've been posting in this thread, Melanie... but I think this one may be my favorite. Such a great image. And the biographical details you provided in your accompanying text make it even more poignant.

For me, a small town can be anywhere between a few hundred to a few thousand to several dozen or twenty thousand. I have to agree with Melanie, it's got something to do with the 'vibe' of the place. One of the characteristics for me is that, in many (most?) small towns... you sort of get the...

A superb series, Arturo. And a compelling argument for the E-M10.ii, and the tiny pancake Olympus zoom. But I think the thing I like the most is the way you've found mixtures of light and shadows in your images, and used them to 'paint' in the frame. Really cool stuff.

Great sense of moodiness in this photo, Bob. I'm curious... was it just about to rain when you took the picture?

No ICM, John, but there was definitely camera movement, though of the unintentional variety - plus a slightly too slow shutter speed. A lucky accident, as far as I'm concerned :)

Taken while shopping at the supermarket...

The windshield of my car, during a lull in the rain.

Very cool set of photos, Andrew... I'm impressed with what you are doing with this neat older camera. I also have to confess my favorite of these in terms of tonalities and colors is the one you tweaked in Analog Efex Pro - it has a muted richness to it which is very impressive. Hope to see more...

Museo Tamayo, Ciudad de México.

Museo Tamayo, Mexico City.

At the Oakland Museum of Calfornia.

Brrilliant idea for a thread, Paul... Thank you for starting it!

Damn!...what a great shot, Roberto. Seriously.

The high-contrast B&W mode on your little Casio really makes striking (and beautiful) images, Melanie!

I LOVE this shot, Bob.

Walking around Portland, Oregon... I crossed paths with this snail.

Boise-Cascade factory in Medford, Oregon.

Graffiti beneath a bridge on the rural outskirts of a small Oregon city. And--

Great shot, Hanneke.
