Feature Entry: Photography and WalkingHaving Google to help explore the culture of walking provides interesting and unexpected results. Using Advanced Google, I fed in “walking” on the first line and “finding objects” on the exact phrase line. One of the interesting hits produced a photography group that takes walks with their cameras while searching for worthy photographic shots. The moderator has a blog and followers posts their favorite “finds” or photographs on the web, as the one above.

Go Saints!!!!!
C'mon Bobby! You can't dangle that much Sunday coinage in front of us and not divulge at least the nature of the location! This coin spotter is always looking for fresh ideas.
ReplyDeleteNow that is just plain mean. Yesterday while going through Jiffy Lube it occured to me that I never would have considered JL as a money spot and that I should thank you for it. Now I find that you are holding valuable information from the rest of us? It's not like I'm a threat to your totals being this far away. Shhh, whisper it... no one else will hear....
ReplyDeleteI checked out the Photography blog. Have listed it on my favorites. There is always at least one camera in my car, usually two or three. Sometimes I carry my little Point and Shoot around my wrist. This morning I would have shot a picture of a guy hitting all the money spots ahead of me. Gotta set the alarm earlier.
Thanks for the nice comments on your last post. Zeus says thanks as well.
Oh, and good luck with that approaching storm! Batten down the hatches and let us know how you're doing.
ReplyDeleteO.K., O.K., maybe Ms. MoneyWalker will not read the comment section. There is an upscale car wash drive-through only style on the fringe of my walking territory (not the one with the open policy on vacuum cannisters). This Sunday about 6:30 a.m. I walked the extra three blocks to check out the concrete arround their vacuum areas. I've done it maybe three times in the last year usually finding a penny or two--not worth many trips. There are ten vacuum stations and each is equipped with a modified 55 gal plastic garbage container. On a hunch, I decided to check one for loose change. There was no yukky trash in any of them except it looked like the manager had dumped the contents of the vacuum cleaners into the corresponding cans. It was just a matter of bending over and picking the coins up from the bottom of the trash cans. This coinage find may not be for everyone, but it was 6:30 a.m.

Psst... don't tell anyone, but you finally got me looking in the vacuum canisters. There's really only one place that amounts to anything but it consistently pays off well. This morning it included a dollar coin. Most of the other washes are locked or cleaned out at night. Thanks, I think???
ReplyDeleteSorry, but you are hooked!!
