There are some photos in my Flickr stream that on their own, without context, don’t seem to make sense. They’re usually taken for specific projects in photo groups like “Still Life”.

I’ve taken a set of 7 for Project Love Letters, which will be launched soon.

One thing I will always notice living south of the border is the sheer glut of advertising. Take this photo, for instance. It’s blurry because it was taken from a moving vehicle along the freeway near our house, but still readable. It struck me as absurdly ironic that an agency as secretive as the FBI resorts to recruiting via roadside billboard advertising. What’s next, bus shelters? Inside restroom stalls in restaurants and clubs? Cereal boxes?

These are the Top 5 contestants remaining on American Idol:

Holy Guacamole, Constantine got eliminated. Granted, he picked the worst song imaginable for his voice: “How You Remind Me” by Nickelback, which was much more suited to Bo’s. But both Anthony and Scott were all over the scale on their songs, and their selections (Celine Dion [...]

I was reading Krisanne’s blog, and see that she’s bought a Mariner’s Moose to be a mascot for her upcoming road trip. An absolute MUST for every road trip is a travel companion who doesn’t take up much space and doesn’t make you stop for restrooms. Or force you to listen to horrible music or [...]

I have a thing for metro photos. New York, Barcelona, Paris, London, Washington, Vancouver, wherever there’s a subway or metro, I want to take photos. This was the first series I shot with a digicam, on the way to Montparnasse station in Paris last year to catch the TGV. I was [...]

Experimenting with PS filters. What a good sport David is… every time he takes a photo of me I tell him not to dare post it.

We had Passover dinner (called “seder”) at David’s mom’s house earlier this evening. As with all Jewish holidays, there’s a great deal of religious significance represented in the food and prayers. David practiced his Hebrew reading from the “Haggadah”, a booklet of instruction and explanation for all the Passover rituals and traditions.
There [...]

This photo makes Penny the cat look enormous and my mother-in-law tiny, but this is no exaggeration!
Penny only likes one person in this world, and that’s Mona. Everyone else can beat it as far as Penny is concerned, and she makes no bones about it. I’ve been trying for MONTHS to take her photo, [...]

Magic apple by AviatorDave

This is what I was working on last night when we got home somewhere near midnight from dinner/ballet. As per Gail-usual, it started out as something entirely different. I’d opened the fridge to get milk or something, saw the apple, and [...]
