Took this while partying above the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville.
It is really hard to get a good picture of Liza.
Once again the trails behind the law school stink like diesel fuel. It isn’t as bad this time as when I last noticed it over the summer. If you are back there with your dog, don’t let them drink or swim back there. When I called the ASPCA’s animal help line last time they said [...]
I was out at Chris Green Lake Park with Julie and Liza. We went for a very long hike that eventually brought us back to where we started but not before encountering this scene. This is the reason that camera phones are so great, I always have it with me.
Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar on Tuesday night.
Spent a a few hours last night hanging out in Lee park listening to some great music at this new tiny venue. Aptly named the Garage, it is a marvelous venue. Plop yourself on the side of the hill in Lee park, sit close to the garage on the ground, or slump into the couch [...]
One more reason I am glad I don’t smoke. Sean and Lee huddle under the awning during yesterdays rain storm to enjoy a cigarette. I stayed high and dry while I stuck the camera out the door.
A question to the local blogosphere. Has anybody hiked the section of the Rivanna Trail behind the UVa Law School recently? I was walking there with the dogs today and they came out of the water covered in what smells like fuel-oil/diesel fuel. Alice called the the ASPCA hotline and for the sum of $60 [...]
If you were hanging out at Friday’s After Five last Friday and you were inside the Pavilion, you missed the real show. These two guys, Oliver Chappel 10 (right) and Steven Bishop 9 (left), exercised their 1st Amendment right by rocking the Free Speech monument. In compliance with that stupid sign, they didn’t chalk on [...]
Airball.
Saturday night I trekked out to the Dogwood Festival to see what I could see. I hope to go back tonight and continue photographing.
My Canine Hobo Sleuthing Companions and I decided to investigate further the hideout we found deep in the woods of Albemarle County. Just a few short months ago this old dairy barn was full of cows eating in their pens producing milk. Until They showed up. Once Their taint touched the cold concrete floor it [...]
Noses to the crowd, my canine hobo sleuthing companions came across this item in the grass. To the untrained eye it would seem this can of Pepsi is quite old. Oliver, Liza and I know better. Anything that is grasped by a hobo instantaneously ages, rusts, and starts to disintegrate. This unfortunate item even touched [...]
….in Hobo Hideout. Oliver has a nose for hobo activity. Out on our walk Saturday morning we came across this hobo hangout deep in the woods. Hobos are rapidly taking over our crumbling infrastructure. America is under attack! When is our government going to take this threat seriously? These building were abandoned by decent, hard [...]
I think this is clear evidence that hobo/hippies have infiltrated our park system. We cannot ignore this menace any longer.
I think I have figured out the allure of my pinhole camera. Generally pinhole cameras have extreme depth of field due to their small aperture. Everything from the closest object to the farthest mountain are in sharp focus. Through a defect my pinhole renders everything the same shade of fuzzy. The effect of this in [...]
Sugar, flour, rice, corn starch. Add a little sunshine and it is a recipe for a nice picture in my kitchen. The kitchen is definitely my favorite part of the house. So far it is the most complete and has a great view with amazing early morning light. In the summertime the trees and bushes [...]
Went to X-Lounge last night with a couple of friends. The people there are a lot of fun to look at, though conversations is strictly a no go when the place fills up. We got there pretty early and it wasn’t too bad. Once the place gets packed the decibels rise through the roof and [...]
