Calf and a Half

For Half Nekkid Thursday

And fear not, Gentle Viewers, this will not be a blog you must avoid on Thursdays because I'm only doing this once.

This was originally posted on June 30th for Half Nekkid Thursday and turned out to be a VERY FUN photo, I'm also very pleased with the lighting, cropping. That would make this silly bit of hedonism MY FAVORITE for the year

and thusly submitted for Thursday Challenge: My Favorite.

Kids, When I Was Growing Up, Gas Was Less Than 2 Bucks Per Gallon!

I took this for in Aug 2003 for 2 reasons, I was learning to take night photos, and I couldn't believe the high price of gas.

I know, I have to stop posting photos of gkirlin. I'll try to go on some self imposed moratorium.

Good Luck to Louisiana and Mississippi

She was like this as I walked up...took a couple of pictures, talked to her a little...and was STILL like that when I looked back a couple of minutes later.

This Is YOU

Are you:

A) The New Nokia 75000 Wearable Cell Phone?

B) A desperate shareholder trying to pump up your US Cellular Stock?

C) The person who drew the short straw back at the office?

Kissing on the Street: Part 1

Do we see this less now because A) We are winning fewer World Wars against the Japanese? Or B) The Increased Availablity of "Rooms"

Kissing on the Street: Part 2

He: I've been waiting for you for hours... desperately!

She: I'm sorry, the crowds..you know. But we're together now... FINALLY!

Kissing on the Street: Part 3

He: At last, Contessa! We meet in person!

She: Contessa??

Kissing on the Street: Part 4

He: You aren't Contessa, Carol's roomate, who works at the Hospital?

She: No, You aren't MusicLvr@aol.com, I mean, Vince??

He: No, ummm...well this is a little awkward....

Kissing on the Street: Part 5

He: I, uh...

She: Listen, We better go, I think that's jkirlin in the bushes over there and we'll end up on his stupid blog.

He: Great, just what my wife needs to see...

I've been asked to remove my bird feeder, by my landlords, which I suppose is reasonable given that it's attached to the side of the house inches from my window.

"Mean Don" and zkirlin tussling it up on turn 4 and unable to get past a t-boned jkirlin. There is no zoom used in this shot.

What, you ask, is locked up so tightly behind this big fat gate?

MY ABILITY TO TAKE A DECENT PHOTO, APPARENTLY!

I was whining to my new blog friend, Invictus Oculus about how, for me, photography is a solitary pursuit. I'm reduced to snapshooting when anyone is around and SUCKING snapshooting at that.

Then I wonder why I can't even PAY my non-blog friends to look at my blog. I practically have to hand over hand them just to get them to bring it up on their browsers ONCE.

AND THEY NEVER BOOKMARK IT! Philistines! MONKEYS!

But I digress.

I went to Boston to meet a friend for dinner and thought I would take several hundred stunning jaw dropping photos and took nothing but CRAPOLA!

I didn't have it.

You ever have days like that, Gentle Viewer?

Do ya?

Yeah ya do.

But you know what you do?

You maintain your diginity and not post!

BUT NOT ME, BABY!

Enjoy the banality!

Great Art is Lost on Me

Even Medium Art.

I have no idea what bowling has got to do with the Boston Public Library. (McKim Building).

After 40 years, I know what I want out of life.
