Bright Sun, Hot Women, Fun Photos

September 7, 2014 Timothy Price10 Comments

On my way home from having a computer tested at the Apple Store, I drove by a group of women in bikinis standing on the sidewalk holding up signs for a carwash. I made a quick U-turn, parked and got the low-down on the charity carwash ABQ-Live The Magazine was holding to raise money for the Lymphoma and Leukemia Foundation. A group of professional models were doing a great job attracting people to the event. Menaul Blvd is not the prettiest street in Albuquerque, and the light at 1:00 pm was direct and harsh, but the models were great, and I managed to get a nice set of photos of three of the beautiful women working the event. Since the model wearing cut-offs wasn’t holding a sign, she did a little extra modeling for the camera.

HMMWV at the Ham Fest

August 10, 2014 Timothy Price14 Comments

I was tailgating at the Albuquerque Ham Fest in the early hours on Saturday. Lee Maisel, the owner of the HMMWV pictured above, told me about the Ham Fest tailgate party, which, unlike the traditional “before the game” tailgate party with crowds of rowdy fans, loud music, and kegs of beer, was quiet and orderly, with mostly older ham operators walking around sipping coffee and munching on breakfast burritos while looking at ham radio equipment and shootin’ the bull.

Besides being a ham, Lee Maisel owns and operates Albuquerque Laser Engraving. I had him engrave an iPad for a retirement gift earlier in the year, and he did a fantastic job at a very reasonable price. Besides precision engraving, his laser equipment does precision cutting, so he showed me a wide variety of projects he had finished and waiting to be picked up that involved engraving or cutting or both. All the work was very high quality and professional.

Urban Olympics

May 3, 2014 Timothy Price14 Comments

After a week of lectures on Medieval Mystics and Masters that kept us out late every night, I ended the week photographing the Urban Olympics put on by a downtown charter school. Various professional offices and other businesses put teams together to compete in silly events, such as mop javalin throwing, toilet plunger toss, a rely race that included a mad dash in high heels — tag the rider for the tricycle slalom — tag the backward skateboard racer — tag the office chair drag racer — and lastly, tag the tricyclist for the final speed run. There was waterboarding, a 100 yard dash, urban bowling with orange barrels and shopping carts, water fights, and other events. Cherry/See/Reames Architects, who shares office space with ARC, and one of our staff members participated in the event.
