Actually, the grand finale would have been watching me carry that little stack of typing paper with burning wooden matches on it to the sink and shrieking like a little girl. THAT'S A FINALE!
I just noticed that I said 'typing paper'. TAKE THAT YA YOUNG WHIPPER SNAPPERS! And to me 'wireless' still means a radio! Don't like it? I'll run ya over with my horseless carriage!

The Thing of the Moment's Photography Tips O' The Day®: How to Make a Complete Ass Photographic TOOL of Yourself.
Behold intrepid photographer. Ok, a minor distraction but not too bad. However, that's not good enough...
When she popped up on stage wielding those lenses she startled Mr Alberti who handled it well but you could tell he wasn't expecting it. WHY HAVE lenses like that if you need to be ON THE STAGE? Will we be seeing fleas on Macroday perhaps?
Hip checking the child with the flash was a nice idea, too. Keep that perimeter clear of distracting nuisances. I bet Mr Alberti wishes HE had thought of that
BEGONE YE PHOTOGRAPHIC TOOL! What a dope. Those credentials must give you the right to make an ass of yourself. And you have. Here at...

Sundown on the 2006 American Folk Festival
The 2006 American Folk Festival ended today. These images were taken from the top of the parking garage which is the BEST and most UNDERUSED and CONVENIENT parking bargain in the city during the folk festival.
The rest of the images canbe seen here.
Also, if you do or don't find yourself on here, email me at jkirlin@gmail.com and I will delete you or send you your photo pronto.

Rite of Passage
This is my newly 18 year old niece sstout's tattoo. She held a gun to my head and made me post this to further rub in everyone's face that she's now an adult. Her parents are less than delighted at this first of presumably thousands of tattoos. I understand how they feel as parents. I once had 3 goldfish. None of which got tattoos.

The Twenty Five Cent View
This is Lincolnville, Maine. And above you can see the ferry terminal and the M/V Margaret Chase Smith.
Lincolnville Beach.
But you don't want to wake up next to it out of season. If you catch my drift.
Somehow I don't think my quarter is going to get me the Million Dollar View. And it SHOULD read, for best results remove eyeglasses and slowly back away.

Confessions of a Premature Epostulator
This is the version of the web shot that was supposed to accompany the earlier post with the pig. I had been advised by photoblog advisor torekimi to crop out the ugly white distraction on the side and posted it incorrectly.
Today's Tuesdays Photos theme of Network allows me to post the corrected version and now with The Thing of the Moment Lite you don't have the other poor cropped one staring your in your face.
