Winter in Nebraska. I think this shot about sums it up. Poor little lawn ornaments...

Duck and cover, anyone?

This was taken at an abandoned Happy Chef restaurant in Onawa, Iowa. You used to be able to press a button and hear the Happy Chef statue sing "Mairzy Doats." The statue is gone, but I will always remember standing in the parking lots listening to the end of his wooden spoon. That didn't come out quite right...

Haarlem rooftops

These are some rooftops/façades in Haarlem, The Netherlands. The wind was the biting, icy kind, but the same kind that makes the sky look phenomenal.

This about sums up Beale Street

Beale Street is kind of like the French Quarter, but only kind of. It's touristy, loud, and looks much better in the dark. No Dixieland. Only the same three chords again and again, occasionally punctuated by an overenthusiastic harmonica player. STAX is much cooler...

Birds on wires

This was shot just outside my apartment last fall. I thought it was kind of cool and kind of creepy at the same time. If only I were a composer being filmed for a PBS bumper...

Sorry I don't have any of the photography geek data on this one. If I find it I'll update the entry, but don't hold your breath.

This was taken in late summer, just as the sun was getting low in the sky. I loved the warmth the light gave to the stonework (which, sadly, doesn't seem to be showing up in the online version of the photo). It may not be all that artistic, but it's what you get when you take pictures from a car on Wisconsin Avenue during rush hour.

Christ Episcopal Church, Rockville, MD

I just really liked the warmth of the light in this shot.

Timed crossword

Still working out the macro lens. This watch belonged to my father. I wear it now, despite it not exactly being the most stylish. Besides, it has Spanish days of the week. Can't beat viernes.

Up, up, and away!

One of my first shots using a macro lens (60mm). It's a little more difficult than I thought it would be, but when it works it's a thing of beauty.
