Another shot of my little girl Matilda, this time through the cardboard tube from a roll of paper towels. The image was processed a-plenty, of course, but I honestly have no idea where the speckle-spiral came from -- although not green, it was in the original image as well. Odd, but cool!
My little girl marveling at a department store mannequin. There's definitely a message in here somewhere about our cultural commodity fetishism -- just check out her, "are you my mommy?" look!
This little guy was chugging along the canal today and, so far as I could tell, its only purpose was to break the ice (and advertise coal for sale). Then a few minutes later, I saw a parade of river boats working their way in its wake. I never thought about this before, but I doubt those little canal boats are capable of cutting their way through the ice.
Always wanted to hire one of these and spend some weeks tooling through Europe's canal systems.
I've been pretty lax about following the weekly images so far. Today I spent about 45 minutes trying to capture a decent image of smoke coming off an incense stick before finally giving up. Soooo, I present here my streetscape! This is just outside my little girl's playschool after a rainstorm.
Rusted and padlocked gate outside of my little girl's playschool. Strangely, the rusted portion has been painted over with rust-colored paint. Is this a thing?
This is my first attempt at shooting running water, in this case from my sputtering bathtub faucet which appears to be reflecting some color from my little girl's bath toys.
The rental property I am leaving is suffering from tremendous neglect which, depressing as it is, has a certain beauty from the outside. This is a leaning weather-vane on top of my garage just before sunrise this morning (ah, the joys of young children!).

Toilet waste is never intentionally dumped overboard from an aircraft. All waste is collected in tanks which are emptied on the ground by special toilet waste vehicles. A vacuum is used to allow the toilet to be flushed with less water and because plumbing cannot rely on gravity alone in an aircraft in motion. The infamous blue ice is caused by accidental leakages from the waste tank. Passenger trains, on the other hand, have historically flushed onto the tracks; however, modern trains usually have retention tanks on board the train.

Despite the peaceful foundations of global monotheistic religions, the broad diversity of interpretations can lead to a sharp paradox regarding the use of force. Inevitably, we must ask ourselves: How can those who ascribe to peaceful beliefs suspend their own moral foundation to beat the drums of war? ... read more
