cure all
Sometimes, most times, a Gibraltar is the cure. I appreciate that Milstead & Co. are so very close to my workplace.

Simply put, I make photos of the things we see everyday. Small scenes we see and forget.

You are back working in Fremont again? That’s a nice new building where Milstead Coffee is, but I wish they would give a name to the statue with an oar. Statues need a name.
Yes! I’m back in Fremont and happy to be “home”. Are you referring to the statue of the UW crew member that memorializes their participation in the 1936 Olympic games? If so, I’ve had the same thought! Hope you are well!
I have been referring to that statue as “Joe Rantz” but maybe his name is Data 1 with the building.
Here’s a project to drive yourself nuts. Try to get a photo of “Joe!” I have made numerous attempts. My best one was at night, facing east with the lights of the restaurant and the outdoor fireplace in the background, and no vehicles (adjacent parking lot) in the foreground. It is hard to get all of Joe’s tall oar framed up without junk in the foreground.
Ooooh! Thank-you! Great idea and will do! Also, I’d love other ideas of projects to shoot in and around Fremont! Historically relevant scenes…I suspect you have the prerequisite knowledge to set me in the right direction. Also, if you like any of the photos, I’d happily share for your blog! Let me know!
Please just remember not to step backwards into the street while framing up a photo. I once stepped backwards into Aurora Avenue while concentrating on a house photo, but I lived to tell the story.
Gotcha!!!
