Wide Angle

Just experimenting with my new super-wide angle lens. I thought this was kinda neat. Note the Keen clogs. Everyone should own a pair of Keens. But that's just my opinion.

DIY Despair

Despair.com now features a DIY section where you can use your own photos to make wonderful demotivational artwork. I think I will be having fun at this website for a while.

Ice Shelves Make Walking Fun!

My son and I race home from the bus stop and see who can get to the best ice shelves first, making them collapse or crack.

Then I get his "leftovers," usually being heavy enough to finish the job.

Free Trade, Trade Pain, Pain Free

There are a couple nice free trade gift stores near our house. I bought this little statue at one of them recently, a carving of a woman who obviously has teenagers. I think I need to go back and get a few more and hand them out to friends in similar situations, sort of as a solidarity move. An "I feel your pain" kinda thing.
