Description
Busy bees, indeed.We ( and ) went out photo hunting again yesterday. This time it lead us to an old town called Liberty, which is officially listed as a ghost town. There's people living there though, so really it was just a few abandoned buildings. But there were also these fantastic old trucks. And lots of yellowjackets. Figured I'd try my hand at a diptych.
As with nearly all of my photography, I try to touch it as little as possible in Photoshop. I like to keep my photography, and my photomanipulation artwork as seperate as possible. So, these two pictures are untouched, except for the tiny frame I added around them.

I love this piece. It seems to say "out of ruin, life continues". Very thematic.

Wow, this is so amazing! Unbelievable picture. I had to share this with a few friends. I can't wait to hear what the guys from the Deadliest Catch pick from your submissions. I will be sporting a T-shirt for sure!
Miss you guys, Leslie

Thanks Leslie!! I was stoked when I saw those yellowjackets - I knew right away I had to get a picture!
I'll be posting the t-shirt results very soon!! (I just got an autographed picture of the whole crew, and Mike Rowe in the mail a couple of days ago! Well, no..Mike Rowe wasn't in the mail..... he was on the picture. You know what I mean. LOL)

Thank you!! You are so right, they can! They were everywhere. I was surprised I wasn't more leery of them.... but I guess having a zoom lens kept me far enough away not to feel like I was in any danger of being swarmed. lol
