Photo Friday - 'Best of 2007'

I've kind of been waiting for a theme to post this one, and it hasn't come along, so I'll just do it for this one. Definitely one of my favorites of this year.



This picture has also been recently published for a release in January. More on that later.

First Snow

A couple of weeks ago we had our first significant snowfall of the year. A couple days after that, we had freezing fog, similar to what we had in February of this year.

Here are a few favorites from the recent freezing fog:

Over this past weekend, despite ridiculous, alarmist predictions of seventeen inches of snow for our area of which only around seven actually fell, we had little problem getting out of the house both Saturday and Sunday.

The Force Was With Them

...for a few seconds, at least.

If I had seven grand to burn (so to speak), I'd probably order a brand new D3 and some decent glass to go with it (and then go crazy waiting 4-6 months for it all to arrive).

These guys chose a slightly different path. They decided to build a life-size X-wing, launch it and hope for the best.

Now, why didn't I think of that?

Because I'm not a GENIUS like these guys!


Is that a beautiful sight, or what?

Here's the video

Here's the story

Here's 'what REALLY happened'

Photo Friday -- 'Dead of Night'

Gotten out of the Photo Friday habit recently. Partly because of being busy, partly due to uninspiring themes, but I've missed some good ones too:

Real Life
The City
Silence
Strength
Dangerous
Travel
Two

Acutally, looking at them all together, most of those aren't uninspiring at all. I guess I've just been lazy.

Anyway -- what I'm posting this week for the 'Dead of Night' might look familiar to those of you who follow my Self Portrait Challenge entries because I posted this back in May for the SPC theme, 'On The Street.'



'Shopping Cart' (below) was taken the same night in a parking lot across the street from 'Awning' (above). I ended up using 'awning' for SPC because the theme was 'On The Street' and not 'In A Parking Lot' but also, I think I got too attached to the location in 'awning.' I had found the door and awning along with the graffiti, corrugated tin siding, and downspout would make a cool setting at some point for a photo. I was 'done' with my photoshoot and walking back to my car when I saw the shopping cart just how you see it here and thought it might make a compelling image. So the tripod, camera, etc. all come back out for this shot. Now, separated by a few months from both, I think I actually like 'shopping cart' better.

SPC - 'What I Wear' #3

I wear my camera bag just about everywhere -- just in case.
