With sunglasses on, these vendors working at the Buffalo Wild Wings booth at Martinsville Speedway last weekend are definitely “stylin”, meaning they are looking good. If you’ve never been to a Buffalo Wild Wings casual sports bar and restaurant then you are missing not only good food, but some great sports programming, especially good during college football season. Their “wings” are super, as are their ribs, and the beer…lots on tap or in a bottle…ice cold and tasty. It’s been over a year since I’ve been and I’ve missed it. Around here the place is known as “B-Dubs.” You can figure that out for yourself…but a hint…a “B” and two “W’s.” Anyway, maybe this photo I made and my words above will make you hungry. Cheers!

Opposites
After I made these two photos it came to me that they are really opposites. First, these images were made looking through the front window of an antique store, and they are clearly ceramic figures. The main difference is that the first one, the clown, may cause people to say “Yikes, what a scary face!” while the second one, the cowboy, most likely will be met with a much happier and warmer reception. Clowns frighten many people, while cowboys always seem friendly and manly. So, that’s my story…opposites. Short as it is.
Shopping Cart Man
The people who take care of empty carts at shopping areas always seem to me to be attentive and patient, given the fact that so many careless shoppers just leave their empty carts anywhere they please after they unload regardless of the fact that storage racks are nearby. This man at WalMart was one such attentive and patient person. He was not aware of the fact I snapped his photo, but had he been I bet he would have given me a big smile. These folks are not paid enough for what they do! As an aside from a photographic processing standpoint, I decided to make it B&W because I felt the image was distracting with all the varied colors on nearby parked cars, and the bright colored vest he was wearing. My subject stands out better this way.
A Downtown Saturday Afternoon
When I can, I like to wander around on a Saturday afternoon in downtown locations such as in Winston-Salem, NC. Lots of people “are out and about”, largely relaxing and having fun. Some of that involves listening to music as the young person at the left of the first photo is doing, and some of that involves enjoying good food and drink as those in the second image are doing. When was the last time you went downtown on a Saturday afternoon?
