Went out and about. Took a few pictures and stepped
in some dog pop. The picture taking was OK, and the dog poop was from a small dog or a big one that isn't getting enough fiber. The piles of dirty snow wasn't good for photographs, but it worked well at cleaning my shoe. A business owner got all paranoid because I was taking images of the trash receptacles. He was stoned out of his gourd, so it was easy to fuck with his head a bit. His helper recognized me as a customer and that jogged his memory. We ended up joking around. I showed the images I took and he seemed to like them. Of course as high as he was, he'd like anything.

So here are two images from today.

1. I was taking a few pictures of
the moon through some branches at dusk. A lady said, 'pardon me sir, why are you taking pictures of my car?'
I had to explain that everything was ok, the moon was well above where her car was parked. People seem much more paranoid nowadays. I like the table/chairs shot.
:) This is what I was taking instead of her car.

2. You should have said you are doing a photo essay of
cars of the paranoid.

Photographing the moon is not easy. I'm still working on it.

3. Alfredo - you make me smile often.
I like them both, but the second one is the special one for me.
Intriguing in the color rising from the gray.

5. Went back and forth on which I liked better
until it occurred to me that I don't have to choose. I think they're both great.

(Nice to know that dirty snow is good for something.)

6. It's the mailcarrier in me that built up a catalog of
methods for cleaning poop off the bottom of my shoes.

Screwdrivers are good for cleaning out those places you might have missed.
