Of Mice and Mess
Laurie’s been reorganizing the house over winter break, and she finally got to the armory/computer room/photo room/workshop that has been doubling as a large closet to store everything that we didn’t have a place for otherwise. Scads of age old electronics, analog sound equipment, computers and peripherals have come out of this room — many of which go back to the stone age of their technology.
The Lion and the Lamb
As we begin this Advent season, I can report relative peace in the house — Guildenstern was lying (okay sitting) on the couch with a lamb.
Smile for the Camera
I find it interesting how digital cameras, and using cell phones to do photos, has changed the way people photograph each other, the attractions they visit, and themselves. I took most of these photos of people photographing each other, or taking a break from photographing each other, at the Musée d’Orsay. I like the photos in B&W because they have a 60’s look with people using modern digital cameras and phones to do their photos and then check out the results.
Blacksmith World Championships
Who would ever think the we would have the World Blacksmith Championships right here in New Mexico, just outside the Duke City? Susan, Lois and I checked out the 4th Annual Blacksmith Worlds at the Wildlife West Nature Park and Rescued Wildlife Zoo east of Albuquerque, and had a wonderful time watching the blacksmiths compete in making horseshoes and hammering them onto horses hooves. Each team had one hour to make one shoe and get it on the horse. Then the next competition would begin until all the horses had new shoes and all four hooves.
Back to France Friday
Streets of Paris, crucifix in Notre Dame, and some interesting architecture. Paris, France, June 2013
Caffe Solo
Harley Solo and the Lonely Caffe (sounds like a good name for a blues band) seemed to be the morning theme as I walked across Gold to the office.
1956 Chevy Bel-Air
I believe this is a 1956 Chevrolet Bel-Air.
Balloons in B&W
The balloons finely flew over our house this morning. They were high and moving fast, but even though I’ve done hundreds of balloon photos over the years, it’s impossible not to photograph them. I decided they look great in B&W and the checkered balloon displays the full range of the gray scale.
