Richmond in Pictures II

[source]

Do you take your pictures out of a moving car?

[TBurban]

I used to do that, a few on this batch were from a moving car, and so were the ones on the bridge, simply cause there wasnt much room to stop on it. but the others were from walking. As the nicer weather moves in this spring, Ill be taking more, and all from walking. But this morning when I went it looked as if it were going to rain, and I didnt wanna get caught somewhere downtown in the rain. Plus I have a convertible, so for some of these pictures the top's down.

Tommy you never run into me.

I did Shockoe Bottom today between MSS and 21st Streets, Dock and Main. If I am able I will do Franklin Grace and Broad between MSS and 21st tomorrow. I started out late though today. But was done with more than enough sunlight... and what happens at 9999? The cam won't let me take another pic until I reset the counter. So I'm at 0098 now. Let's see how long it'll take to get back to 9999!

And rub it in with that convertable!

I take a lot of pics with the car moving. The pic of Dick's in Short Pump was a hope for the best pic driving by. Then the other day I took some while on I95 of the 895 bridge.

What size memory card? I just upgraded to a 2GB from 256MB

[wrldcoupe4]

man 2 gigs would be great...

[Cadeho]

I'll upgrade when I get a new camera. I have a 128MB and a 16MB card. If I had 2GB... come on I'd do 1000+ pics in an outing!

I agree with you. I did some research, and this is the same card my next camera will use. I got a deal only $89? or so.

If one time I do see you downtown, Ill take you for a ride in it

[TBurban]

Just thought this would be cool to see

Huge storm cells

[Cadeho]

Tommy get out of my head!

From da hood

Laburnam east of Carolina Ave.

Laburnam/Meadowbridge/Richmond-Henrico Tnpk

Laburnam and Chamberlayne

Brook and Lombardy

Belvidere and Canal/Cumberland

Let it rain! And the sun hadn't set. Spring and 2nd

Cary and 3rd

Sorry for the blurriness... it got really dark and I didn't have the flash on, or was steady. The rain drops obviously reflected the flash... but the two pics before it without came out terribly blurry, but lighter! The clouds were black behind downtown.

[TBurban]

Haha! nice shots Cadeho Are those bushes in the first picture? Odd looking things I must say

[Cadeho]

Why did you remove the other pics?

I pixellated it so I wouldn't get stalkers!

[TBurban]

Haha, I was wondering what that was......I took some of mine out cause they were crap compared to yours.

[Cadeho]

No they weren't! And they were gone when I posted.

[TBurban]

The quiet before the storm, very breezy

Cloud rollin' in

Storm cells taking over the sky...

Those are the only three I could recover..... the rest were ehh

[Cadeho]

Thanks Tommy! You're a reporter too!

[TBurban]

Haha right on man, I just noticed your new signature, very nice skyline picture

[Cadeho]

Thanks, I've been wanting to do that. 300x50 as set by the rules... although... I have to squint! It's my favorite view of the city... and I need more shots from Tree Hill Farm on a nice clear day in the morning, not dawn like this one. But I need permission so I won't get shot!

[wrldcoupe4]

Cam do you have a bigger version of that pic? It looks awesome!

[Cadeho]

They're too big to post. I'll link the album.

Tree Hill Farm 10/16/05

Tree Hill Farm was dawn, here was dusk that day. That was the day I took 900+ pics from sun up to sun down... and then I caught a cold!

[wrldcoupe4]

That's great... post them all!

[source]

I like the pic where the red light is on fire.

[Cadeho]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Screw the Grace St pics... I just put them here and wrote commentaries on each one and I accidently pressed back on the wrong screen and LOST everything!!!!!

[Cadeho]

Ok, I had reposted and when I did UP was down... AGAIN!

Then in the middle of uploading the pics, I went through two power surges and then it looked like the power would go out. And so far today the power's gone out twice since near 6AM this morning... so I'll make this quick before MORE problems come up. I copied the post and I'll paste it as it is.

Now I'm posting more pics than allowed...

I wanted to go to bed at 2...

I guess I'll try again...

I have all of Grace downtown, but I'm going to start from Adams St. eastward. I'll point out which buildings are "graceful" and ugly. Not all of them are attractive in any kind of eye. I skipped some parking lots and a deck, but I do have them.

From April 16, 2005.

The storefront is ugly but the house is beautiful

UUUUUGLY storefonts on visually interesting Queen Anne houses.

Cramped and out of place... but good food.. they need a new building

No comment

Whoever ruined this building needs to be hanged! Look at that Mansard roof! I wonder what's underneath that awful facelift.

UUUUGLY!

Needs a shower and attention

Was this a theater? It needs attention.

Nice accents but needs attention too

Ugly

The best in the block

Uneventful

The Franklin St side is better and I miss that building with the cornice at 3rd and Grace they demolished in 1999.

Has a beautiful face and ugly behind... although it's red now, it doesn't help!

The following were taken February 6, 2005.

The following were taken November 11, 2004... I have better of this block but I can't find them. They're in the unlabled group.

We need a bookstore!

This block has interesting architecture, I'm sorry I could only dig out the bad ones. I know I have a set where I took several of Berry Burk and the others in the block. It was cold and there were homeless bundled in the doorways.

So there... got through with it in a half hour!
