after a bath

nothing like a clean infant to bring a smile to your face :)

today's agenda: nothing

sitting on the beach on Little Palm Island.... doing a whole lot of nothing.

cat in the window

returning back to a cruise ship in the Bahamas a few years ago, I was greeted by this orange cat in a cabin window:

variations of a theme

mmm Skyscraper I Love You...

I am by no means an expert on flora & fauna, scientific names, or anything remotely close to that. I do know that I love this plant, not sure if it would grow natively in Florida or not... can anyone tell me what it is?

obese sitting branch

years of obese tree sitters scarred this poor branch for life

equipment on the river

not sure why, I just like it.

they threw eggs at me

amsterdam architecture

Amsterdam is a very photogenic city, even upside down in a canal

inverted oleander

The Oleander outside my window.

Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore, Firenze, Italia

La Défense

During our last stay in Paris, we had an inexpensive hotel way off the beaten path in the La Défense business district right next to La Grande Arche, which on this particulary cold February night looked very cool...

Mona Zhen Arch

After an olympic night of drinking draft St. Bernardus and numerous other quality beer libations at Le Bon in South Miami Beach, the walk back to the car was derailed for some craziness (while Birago lost his car). There are a few more of these that I'll dig up later on...

U2 concert shadows

looking forward in reverse

this was shot in a hotel room, i really liked how the early-century people in the painting appear to be staring out a window in the the real modern world.

we live in the gutter

It's amazing what you can find in the gutter if you stop and pay attention

a decomposing mouse

at the hospital

this bird flew to the ER, only to be ignored and left for dead on the roof above.

i have no legs

this was shot in San Francisco a few years ago. I love the disattached illusion.



ps - the post title is a very obscure dialog reference to a subway scene in NYC from the 1995 movie, Kids. (I know DJ remembers this one!)

sand shadows

I love shadows, and I'm not too particular on where they are cast. In this case, it was during the Air & Sea Show on Ft. Lauderdale Beach in May 2005.

see the flying haggis

Unbeknownst to many North American's, if you look very closely, you can occasionally spot a flying haggis with the unaided naked eye; as pointed out below by Steven to Ty in a downtown Atlanta hotel room.

a urinal

For years, the urinal has been largely ignored in photography circles, I'm looking to turn that trend around starting with this dimly lit urinal, shot in 2003 at Swig Bartini in Weston, FL.

one flew over the mango tree

some older pics from the 3 year old mango tree in the back yard

pool shadow map

as a kid, I loved the water and spent a significant portion of my early years partially submerged in the family pool. i remember closing my eyes, going underwater, curling up into a ball, and spinning myself on various axis', after 15 seconds or so i'd stop, and try to orient myself back to the original position I started in. Lucky for me, I did this back in the early 80s, eluding the satellite's that today would have captured a bizarre floating kid in pool photo and made me famous(?) for 15 minutes on some distant website that tracks down satellite imagery oddities.

Anyway, what we have here is a screen enclosure casting a street map like shadow into the always mesmerizing pool.

my junk tastes like tuna

while i don't intend to turn this blog into another dumping ground for pet pics (get your fix of that here), we do have 5 animals... 2 cats and 3 dogs, and they each have their own distinct personalities which I will attempt to occasionally share with you here.

Below we have Benjamin, sometimes referred to around the house as the fat fuck, we don't leave the tv on for him (hold your kitty pr0n jokes), so he gets bored often, which typically means he cleans his junk, alot, in fact, its just a hairless lump of cat goodness down there. Observe:

imadethismistake

kyle is kyle

you may know him from imadethismistake or perhaps youtube

i shot these at uncle sams music

a concert in central park

i recently flew to new york city with only the clothes on my back for 32 hours, hung out with new and old friends, drank beer, lots of red bull, saw underworld in central park (below), digweed @ pacha, hailed a cab at 5am during a rainy shift change and made it back to LaGuardia for a flight home. slept on plane.

my photo diarrhea

so i couldn't even make it past the subject without having a potty-mouth, how sad.

i used to take alot of pictures, recently not so much, but I really should do it more often, and maybe I will if i have an outlet to do so, which is why this photoblog was created.

title: TrippingTheLightFantastic

This is actually a track off of BT's Ima (no amazon affiliate link on that one, but I like to reference alot of random shit so future posts will likely have it) I needed some kind of photo reference, Available Light was probably taken (yup, and parked! http://availablelight.blogspot.com/), and there you have it.

Whats else... inspiration.

waytoblue .. a friend of a friends photo's that been around for awhile

and Rebecca told me about this one, with equally cool name: documented radiation

alright, pics to follow whenever I get off my lazy ass.
