No comment(s)

My new format change has definitely caused a major blip. My ability to receive comments from you, faithful followers, is down. After staying up until almost 1:00 A.M., I feel much like the first two guys in the photos for this post. Finding a fix for the comment glitch is top priority for me today. Again, if any of you have switched to 3-column format and know how to remedy the 'no comment' problem, please let me know asap...and THANKS!


Garbage Nap by Chris

If I may ask you to humor me...please try re-subscribing to follow my blog, and then attempt to leave me a comment today. I will be checking back throughout the day to see if anything is getting through. It is just no fun logging in to my dashboard, and not having any comments from you to publish!


Metro Punk by Tina

Thank you to Leah of Moxie Photo and Design, and Char of ramblins..., for sending me private messages via email to alert me of this issue--glad you've got my back, ladies!


Streetcar Rider by Tina

In the meantime, hope you enjoy these candid street shots we took around town last spring. In posting these, I realized that we seem to find our best subjects at bus/trolley stops. Also near (or on!) garbage receptacles!

Onward and upward...have a super day, all!

Tagged by Kim

Well, I got tagged again...this time by Kim! It was only last week but I'm just now catching up with posting my seven random things so here goes.

Random Thing One:

Before I was into photography, I used to do collage. Before that, I was a rubber stamp artist. I read the magazines, went to conventions, shopped, swapped, joined online groups and yes, I made plenty of art with rubber stamps. For 15 years I shared this hobby with my Mom, who now houses almost all of the collection we amassed. We stopped counting how many we had when we passed the 20,000 mark...and that was only the wood-mounted stamps (we also had unmounted rubber stored in binders).

Random Thing Two:

One of my favorite things to eat is sour cream. Besides potatoes, I like it on all sorts of cooked veggies, in recipes and as a base for a fruit salad from my Mom's recipe--so good!

Random Thing Three:

I have yet to visit The Grand Canyon. This is one place I would like to see, and it is on my short list along with any other of the National Parks in the USA of places I would love to photograph.

Random Thing Four:

I enjoy short stories. I am amazed at the ability some writers possess to create a coheasive story with well-developed characters--start, middle and finish--in such a limited format. Only drawback is I always want the stories to keep on going...which rather misses the point.

Random Thing Five:

I used to write poetry. Mostly in my high school days and I kept it in albums. I wrote over 200 poems, sometimes two or three per day. I still have the albums in a box in my garage.

Random Thing Six:

I love Paris! The city, not the celebrity. From the time I was old enough to know where it was, I've harbored a desire to experience Paris and perhaps even live there for awhile. I am sure that I, like many, may over-romanticize it but I feel an affinity to The City of Lights--even more so since I've been studying Art History as my major in college.

Random Thing Seven:

I have a fear of deep water. For some it's spiders, others it's heights. For me, it's deep water. The ocean is inspiring and beautiful but I have no desire to be out on (or in) it. Give me a river, lake or pond anytime and as long as I can see land on at least one side of it, I am good to go.

So, there's my seven. Here are the folks I have chosen to tag to share their seven:

Cheryl at Al Ain Notebook
Dennice, author of fringe

Pam of housemartin
Chelsey over at Paper Lady Invites
Lupe of Art Garden

Char who posts her Ramblins...
Emmy Lou aka the Pointless Nostalgic
