365 – 86 SPEED

What defines speed?

Physics defines speed as Speed is the rate of motion, or the rate of change of position. It is expressed as distance moved (d) per unit of time(t). Speed is a scalar quantity with dimensions distance/time. Speed is measured in the same physical units of measurement as velocity, but does not contain an element of direction. Speed is thus the magnitude component of velocity. Velocity contains both the magnitude and direction components.

Ok I know that’s a little heavier than what your use to from me.  But tonight as I was walking through the city I caught a glimpse of the car in tonight’s photo.  Which made me think if the 1970 Boss 302 Mustang that I grew up around and rode in every summer.  The Mustang was a fun car to ride in but it wasn’t as fast off the line as the 1970 1/2 Z28.  So the question arises what is speed? Is speed just going fast, maybe 80mph, 100mph, 150mph?  Or is speed what you feel as you accelerate from 0 to 100?  I’m not really sure how you might define it, but either way it’s fun.

Project 365 | Day 85 Life in a Bag

If you had to live your life out of a bag, could you?  Could you survive without your phone, computer, TV, and internet?  I’m old enough to remember a time before the internet and cell phones.  But it’s hard to think about leaving the house without my phone today.  I’ve actually driven miles away from the house and turned around to get my phone.

In todays photo I don’t know if the person is truly living out of the bags or just moving some of the possessions. But I thought about the person after I took the shot and wondered if they really were living out of the bags, could I do that if I had to?

At your worst are you really that bad off?

Project 365 | Day 84 Concentration

I willing to bet that everyone reading this post has done this at one time or another.  You know when your walking down the street looking at your cell phone and run into something or somebody.  Bet your laughing right now saying “Yep I’ve done that”.  I’ve done it on more than one occasion and the bad part is I don’t even need to have a cell phone in my hand.  I literally have walked into things just because I was looking at some reflection or light pattern on a building and was thinking that would make a great picture.

Fortunately today I walked around the city for and hour or so and managed not to walking into anything.  And I’m hoping the guy in this picture done the same, although he does seem to be concentrating on his cell phone and perhaps he did walk into something or someone.

I would love to hear your stories about walking into objects or people while paying close attention to something else.

Project 365 | Day 83 Across the River

Tonight I decided to walk in a different direction after work.  I wandered around heading towards the Smithfield Street Bridge and took a photo from the city side looking at Station Square.  I really liked the way the sky shows the daylight escaping as the reflections in the water show the night life of the city taking over.
