Cold Photos For Hot Days....and the Usual Comments

I've been preparing to set up a new computer and shooting some photos at the paddle tennis courts. Once that's completed, I can continue fixing my photos and posting more of them here. I'm constantly amazed that an old degraded photo can be returned to its original condition. Slightly out-of-focus photos can be made sharp, and grainy or noisy images can be made perfect. However, to fix one image currently can take 15 minutes to an hour on this computer so I've been putting it off until I get my new PC.  Meanwhile, during this heatwave, here are some old icy photos as well as some artsy new paddle tennis shots.

My new PC has not arrived on time, so did the best with these old snowy photos.

She was a neighbor, probably a freezing neighbor, haha.  But would be nice to have a spot like that today.  Some of the LA Valleys were 117 - 119 degrees.  It was probably around 32 in this photo.

This was an unusual snowfall in the hills above Santa Barbara from the mid-1970s.

As three artists might have painted Mackenzie playing paddle tennis at Venice Beach - late August, 2024.  The top artist would have been Benson, the bottom one, Van Gogh, and the middle one, Leroy Neiman.

November is getting close.  I hope you vote for which candidate offers the best policies for this country...assuming you can figure that out.
