Girls Day Out – Snapshot no. 34

A childhood friend of mine came into town this week, so I decided to take the day off from work and hang out with her today. Fortunately for us she had her niece with her. The three of us went to several galleries and shops. This is a photo of them inside of the HartContinue reading “Girls Day Out – Snapshot no. 34”

The Deli Counter – Snapshot no. 31

I ran out of time – and light – today, so I decided to take my camera into the store with me when I was on my way home from work. I stood in produce for a while, but could never quite find the right shot. I turned around and saw these women and smiled.Continue reading “The Deli Counter – Snapshot no. 31”

Story of the Day – Favorite Quotes

I interrupt this Snapshot of the Day series with a Story of the Day. There have been lots of great quotes throughout history, but my 3 favorites (at the moment, at least) are these: Going to war without France, is like going hunting without your accordion. — Jed Babbin Jerry! You know I’ve always wanted toContinue reading “Story of the Day – Favorite Quotes”

He logged and numbered every item he bought,Continue reading “Medical collection – Photo no. 25”

Walking the Dogs – Snapshot of the Day: 24

Well, my subject matter was good. I just didn’t do such a great job of capturing it. I should have shot her from the front because she had another dog in the baby stroller. But she was moving a quite a clip, and I really did not want her to know I was taking herContinue reading “Walking the Dogs – Snapshot of the Day: 24”

Mother’s Formal Dining Room – Day 22

Ok. I’ve noticed I have had windows featured in most of my images lately. I will make a conscious effort to not have them in my shots for a while. Meanwhile, this is a shot of the living room / dining room of the house I grew up in. My mother always wanted a formalContinue reading “Mother’s Formal Dining Room – Day 22”

This Way Out – Snapshot of the Day, no. 19

Ok. The fact that someone felt an exit sign was needed here just amuses me. It’s in the stairwell on the TOP floor of our building. There IS no other way out. The building used to be a hosiery mill, started in 1939. (First in America to make nylon hose) So chances are it hasContinue reading “This Way Out – Snapshot of the Day, no. 19”
