Postcards From Nowhere: West Virginia, Ohio, PA
.jpg)
This week, I took off Thursday morning for West Virginia where I found a old steel mill and snapped a few photos. Eventually, I found my way back to work, but it was good to get out for the morning and squeeze off a few shots in West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
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 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 6 Meg (3:50 Adobe Flash slideshow(stay_with_you.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 (stay_with_you.exe), and it allows you to play, pause, skip forward, backwards, etc.
Image post-processing was done in Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended. The slideshow was created using Imagematics Stillmotion Pro.
The soundtrack is 'Stay With You' by The Goo Goo Dolls. Don't read too much into the song title or lyrics. I chose this song because when I went down to PPG ice skating rink in January, they were playing this song and I thought it was pretty cool.
Lyrics in the extended entry.

Goo Goo Dolls: Stay With You Lyrics
Songwriters: John Rzeznik, Glen Ballard
These streets
Turn me inside out
Everything shines
But leaves me empty still
I'll, I'll burn this lonely house down
If you run with me
If you run with me
And I'll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do
So take my hand now, we'll run forever
I can feel the storm inside you
I'll stay with you
Am I fooled by my own desires?
I twist my fate just to feel you
And you, you turn me toward the light
And you're one with me, will you run with me?
And I'll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do
So take my hand now, we'll run forever
I can feel the storm inside you
I'll stay with you
Now come in from this storm
And I taste you sweet and warm
Take what you need
Take what you need from me
Now wake up this world
Wake up tonight
And run to me
Run to me now
And I'll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do
So take my hand now
We'll run forever
I can feel the storm inside you
I'll stay with you
And I'll stay with you
