Postcards From Nowhere: Winston-Salem

These photos were taken while we were in the "Twin Cities" of Winston-Salem, (aka "Camel City") for Uncle Bobby's funeral (Jan 28, 1010). Very difficult to come to terms with with the loss when someone so special disappears so suddenly. There aren't any photos of Uncle Bobby in this slideshow. Mostly it's composed of family photos, many of which I saw for the first time. I view this grand reunion, the reunification of individuals and of families, as one of Uncle Bobby's parting gifts.

The images were all captured on one of the following:

Canon EOS 50D with a Canon L-series image-stabilized, ultra-sonic telescopic zoom lens (EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 IS USM) with an ET-83C hood.
Canon EOS 40D with an image-stabilized, ultra-sonic telescopic zoom lens (EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM).

The images are compiled into a 5 Meg (3:45) Adobe Flash slideshow(2010_NC.swf) that you should be able to open and view with any browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.). To view the slideshow, just click on the photo above. If you want to view the slideshow as a Windows executable, you can play this version (2010_NC.exe), and it allows you to play, pause, skip forward, backwards, etc.

Image post-processing was done in Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. The slideshow was created using Imagematics Stillmotion Pro.

The soundtrack is "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon.

Lyrics in the extended entry.

Kings of Leon
Use Somebody

I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you and all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you

Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice

Someone like me, someone like me
Someone like me, somebody

I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now

Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody

I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see
