Antique Pricing Fail

Sometimes antique dealers get a little too anxious to price their merchandise and forget to take off the original price from the object they're trying to sell.


At least they're only calling this one "vintage style" and not just plain "vintage".

Micro World

Sometimes all it takes is a change in perspective to create a whole new world. These photos were taken at  an erosion area at a construction site. From above it just looked like bad erosion. Getting the camera down in the gulleys though brings in a new perspective and with it a new world of possibilities.

As a kid I would have loved to have come across this with a bag of plastic army men or little Matchbox construction vehicles. The little dirt bridges that didn't get washed out are ripe with the possibilities of a little boy's mind.

Fun With Lens Flare

It's nice when you can still capture some good lens flare with a digital camera. Thanks to my trusty Nokia N8, this isn't an issue.

Springtime and Dandilions


It's that time of year again. That special time of year where everything turns green and starts to bloom. The only trouble is that the first things to bloom at always the things you don't want in your yard...

Teddy the Pyromaniac


The family didn't realize that their new addition was really a pyromaniac until it was too late and Teddy had already torched the house and cars. by then it was too late. Pity.

Don't blame me if that's not what the book is about. I just judged it by its cover, that's all.

Humpty Dumpty

The Humpty Dumpty statue in front of the Richardson Library. The book titles he's sitting on are awesome.

Somehow I don't think these ventilation rotor lights would work in the dining room...
