Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde

Back in July, I joined a friend on a storm chasing mission around the Calgary area. I only got one good shot that day, but I also found another kind of chase happening: silos painted in the likeness of Mrs. Pacman and all four of her nemeses. I made a note of their location, and in October was able to return to the area just southwest of the city with my camera for a shoot with Inky, Blinky, Pinky, Clyde, and the missus.


The paint on the silos was much more weather worn than I remembered. Maybe I had just been too far away, or maybe the 3 months of southern Alberta weather had taken their toll. So, while I enjoy the charm of the worn look...


...I also spent far too much time and effort in the post-processing repaint not to post it here.


There is so much fun in finding gems like this. Often, the things you're not looking for make the very best finds, well worth a return visit!
