For several months I’ve been asking folks what do you call people that do odd things in photographs, usually behind the primary subject’s focus. I been told they are “clowns”, “hams”, “_ _ _holes”, and “photo whores”. But of late, I’ve seen them called “bombers”…or maybe I should say the practice of stealing the scene is called “photobomb”.

Many things are good about Sam’s Club. You get a good product at a good price, and the people, at least those at my local Sam’s, are generally accommodating and nice to deal with…considering Sam’s employees typically have little interaction with customers (besides at the checkout stand). The one shorts-biter thing about Sam’s is you’re gonna spend some bucks to save some bucks. When was the last time you got out of the store for less than $100? Continue reading “Hot Spotting at Sam’s”
Don’t ask what’s up with me and wonderful piano playing…I don’t know!
Well, on second thought, maybe I do know…It’s my mother’s fault.
Perhaps I do…but then again, maybe I shouldn’t.
That’s all I need is another camera, as if the nine working snap-shooters I have won’t do what this does: Turn you iPhone into a DSLR
Hmmmmmm. Continue reading “Do you think I need one of these?”
The Lake Dallas 4th of July Parade Spectacular: For even more fun and parading, see my Flickr set, or just click on the “Flickr” in the right side column. Continue reading At the first (of the day), it’s all about the parade
Lake Dallas (Texas) Fireworks Spectacular: Continue reading In the end (of the day), it’s all about the fireworks
I like ping-pong. Growing up, we had a table in the basement.
It “served” a competitive purpose amongst the brothers…it also doubled as a laundry foldingtable for the whole family. I remember having to clear off my brother’s underwear to play ping-pong when friends came over (my brothers were always such slobs :) ).
From just a few weeks ago…these still make me smile.
Woo Hoo! It is Friday!
And a special Friday it is.
Because….don’t you know…it’s…
“Celebration of the Senses Day” where everyone should stop somewhere along today’s journey and watch (see), taste, feel, smell, and listen to somthing…somewhere.
No?
Don’t want to do that?
Then there are these “holidays” to account for today: Continue reading “It’s Finally Friday”
Hmmm. All sorts of ideas and imagination stretching to meet the “challenge” this week:
Pictures of the Week….
9/22/2010: Austin, Texas
Got to see a few of my old friends tonight. I love nights like these.
K-Berr (Kati) and Will got married in an outdoor ceremony…on the hottest day of the summer (so far). It was 107° on the drive to Burleson, but the Lone Oak Winery had a cooling breeze across its meadows and under their large shade tree. We left the reception at 10:30pm – it was stil 97°. Gotta love Texas in the summertime for sure.
It was a wonderful evening for the newlyweds and their guests.
Hmmm, lets see…how ’bout…
maybe a Bentley, or a Mazariti, or a Mercedes
No…perhaps a Jaguar, or a Maybach, or a Triumph, or a Lamborghini
I know!
A ’41 Ford Super Deluxe, or a ’59 Chevy Parkwood Station Wagon, or a 55′ Studebaker Speedster, or a ’38 Buick Roadmaster!
Hmmm is about right…. Continue reading “When I grow up, I want one of these”
Done deal!
Thanks to a simple email question from OFSIL Becky, it got the line cast and look what happened. Everyone got called and sure as a Canadian fishing license, father and sons are trekking back to Canada to try and catch more trophy Walleye this fall!
The four of us will be packing tackle and poles and head off to Halley’s Camps in Ontario!
And even better…OFB Tony gets to join us this time! Continue reading “Here we go again”
Yeah…more golf. This time clips of our talent and prowness on a golf course:
I took over 1400 pictures yesterday! This series could go on for a long, long time y’all (just kidding…on the series going on for a long time…maybe a week…OK, maybe not):
OFB TR started it today. There were a few barbs trade via email…creativity was shared without a tee time reservation.
Friday’s golf outing amongst the family should be fun, interesting, and full of…well…lets just saw if history is any indication of what’s in store for the course, I will need to be a designated golf cart driver for the “young’uns” and their run to the liquor store (losers by the beer) will be sobering. Dad and his 3 sons (the old timers 0r “old farts” if you’d rather) versus 4 of his 5 grandkids (the “Young’uns). It is safe to say we talk (and Photoshop) better than we play the game.
Here are the traded smack photos for today. I must say they are kind of funny. The photo-doctoring all started with OFNi Dani’s clever and humorous talent. Continue reading “Smack down golf”
Pictures for the Week
4/9/2011: at a stop light somewhere (maybe it was Grapevine)
I must admit it does bother me some that a preachy window sticker like this one is prominently displayed in the back window of this guy’s car. Maybe it was a disgruntled mood moment for me: we were both at a standstill in our cars during rush hour traffic that was going nowhere when I saw this….
More pianos…arrrrg mate. As one of the commenters says: “even his ass could play the piano”. These piano guys are just too good! Continue reading “Pounding – no tickling – the Pirate ivories”
It was a grand 3-day holiday weekend. This Monday also ended the National Backyard Games Week…Tuesday will mark the end of the National Barbeque Month. I did my usual photography stuff…I actually hopped on the bicycle and tooled down to the Corps Park for pictures this morning. We celebrate all that weekend stuff, and most of us, somewhere, sometime, somehow reflect on our fallen military heros. It truly was a meaning full weekend – thanks!
