Skatin'

These guys were skating at a local park today. One had the Santa hat, the other was skating with skates he received for Christmas. It was actually difficult making a useable image because so much of the graffiti on the skate ramps were a tad inappropriate. Oh well, the kids were cool.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all !

Yee haw

These are from a few months back from my trip to Dallas,Texas. Just got the film processed so here are a few. The Taco Bueno is good (not as good as Taco Jose in Houston) and the burger is from Whataburger, a popular burger restaurant chain in those parts. The flag photo has some weird marks on it which could either be from leaving the film in my car during different temperatures, or the processors fault, I wish I knew.

Grand Tour

OK, the tour wasn't all that grand. But the building was designed back in the day by Alden B. Dow who is a well known architect.

the goods

Fellow photographer Wendy Torello has a sister (Leslie) that makes delicious baked goods. Here are two of them prior to their disappearance in my stomach and they were good. Any awesome food that is sent my way will find its way onto my blog. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Sewer

A nearby village is getting a new sewer system put in and this is the fella in charge.

Watching

This was an assignment for a couple that built a dance floor in one of their bedrooms. The guy, an avid photographer himself, was just watching as I was getting my settings adjusted.

Blog post #101

That's right, this is the 101st blog post so cheers to that. Also it's school swimming season and it's been real busy lately so here's one of the photos from the madness that is high school sports in the winter time.

Cold

Standing at a main intersection asking for money on the coldest night we've had yet. I can only hope that Don's luck changes for the better and that his future is paved with a warmer road.

Ficus

This ficus was left by my girlfriend as an addition to my living room. When it was first placed in this location maybe five months ago, it was flourishing. I tried lots of water, very little water, talking to it, cold and hot temperatures and as you can see, it will soon (probably tonight when I get home) pass on to that garden in the sky. Rest in peace little ficus.
