Building Fun

Giving up on the plugin and moving back to Live Writer.

I am liking this shot of the pipes  The brick is set off nicely:

This one I am not as fond of but still like it:

Stairs

Not sure if I really like this workflow. The plugin is ok but needs to be a little more fully featured to really take the place of a dedicated text editor.

This pic of stairs is one I really like. Makes me think of a mental institution:

Gorging

Trying something a little different with this one. Got a plugin for Lightroom that let's me export all my photos right to the blog without going through Live Writer. Might take a few tries to get it to work.

Eileen's favorite spot in the house.

Everybody Loves A Sculpture Park

And by the end of this you will be able to tell my favorite part of the sculpture park.

Found graffiti on the way there.  Very hippy futuristic:

And now for a ridiculous amount of shots of essentially the same thing.  My goal now is to commission a Richard Serra work when I am rich and famous.  Just hoping he can last that long.

I like how the black and white flattens the depth of this some:

Showing off the curves.  Everybody loves curves:

And more:

And just in case you did not have enough:

The camera is in macro mode so a meta shot of even more close up texture:

Everybody Loves A Parade

Especially a naked parade.  Starting the morning off with some Bloody Marys and then watching a pretty cool parade is not a bad way to spend a Saturday.

After the parade we caught these guys playing out front of a liquor store on the sidewalk.  Their first couple of songs were pretty good but they kind of fell off after that:

My holding the little one during the parade:

Some dancing in front of one of the floats:

More dancing although with many more people:

Something having to do with the fall of the French empire (It was at this point I realized I needed a program):

Getting The Love

You almost cannot identify what is going on in this picture which I like:

And how can you not think that these whiskers are majestic?
