Spanish Donuts

Captured along my travels… ok…. Alot of my descriptions begin that way so here is more info… LOL! Saturday morning walked to my nearest polling booths, voted and continued walking the streets of Brunswick. That is where I stumbled across this vehicular beauty!! So, I walked back home got the camera… etc, etc, etc!
The final challenge I was faced with was just how to present this…
I really like this version, it kind of sums up my personailty!
Ok, now I know you all think I’m completely up the pole! hehehe!
I hope you like it, if you’re curious to see the other versions, let me know and I’ll put ‘em in a journal!
Peace, love and bear hugs! :D

    Hey there Midzing and John! You know I toyed with the idea of taking my camera to the polling booths but I knew I’d get carried away and start taking pics of people voting and all that kind of thing!! They would’ve called the police… I would’ve been calling someone at Red Bubble to bail me out!! LOL!! I’m glad I left the camera at home!! :D

  • Trish Cooper

    Trish Cooper

    I looked at both images and there is just something about the black and white image..with just the tinge of red that makes this pure purrrfection!!! It truely amazes me how you take take a photograph that many others might take as well…and you somehow..make it look like something we have never seen before…that is the maark of a true artist though…taking everyday life…capturing ordinary moments…and making them EXTRORDINARY!! We get to see through your lens, wonderful,magical moments in time…and everyone of us will take certain images that strike a particular cord within us…and we will carry them with us for a long time…for that I (and im sure eveyone here) thank you my friend!!!!!!

  • billyboy

    billyboy

    Paul, the only thing more amazing than your style is that you managed to find this funky trailor… and to think that Brunswick has a sky that blends with it so well means it must be a way funky place! So Brunswick, Churros trailor and Paul Louis… an awesome coming together of souls, an accident just dying to happen… has produced a deeply soulful image. You were so right to go back and get the camera as the world would be at a loss without this. Churros… you placed the C word right where I can’t take my eyes off it… right, that’s it… I’m off to the bakery…
    Congrats Paul on another fabulous work!!

  • Paul Louis Villani
