Picture Thread 2014

Enjoying the porch we still have after-dinner light.

You see this? You make fun of Sokar being bald one time(ok, perhaps more than once), and you go fucking bald yourself. I do look a bit like Lex Luthor, though......

Or, Brian Cranston.

Mine may be going gray, but at least it's all there.

At least no one will be asking me why my beard is red, and my hair is brownishblondishish.

I'm skipping grey and going right to white.

I lost mine at 32 (random immune system fluke). Didn't lose it all, but it would have looked so weird that I just went ahead and shaved everything off.

Old people!

USS North Carolina last week. It's supposed to be the most decorated Battleship in WWII, but I didn't see so much as a Chinese lantern.

Posting in the thread about Stallion's tiny human arrival, reminded me of my own tiny human. He's almost 8, now.

He's small for eight!

8!! No way! Just yesterday you were changing his diaper.

We're under the traffic pattern for Newark and Teterboro airports (even though Newark is 30 miles south!), and it' usually pretty busy up there. I got curious tonight, so I sat on the porch while Mary walked the dog and took 1 pic of each plane that flew over. The big ones were headed for EWR, the civil ones and bizjets for Teterboro. The hi-altitude ones must have been passing thru from Europe, 'cause they were WAY up there.

34 planes in 23 minutes!



And yeah, that shot of the Dash-8 in front of the moon would have been awesome if I hadn't gotten excited and jiggled the damn camera.

In all likelihood it still would've been blurred due to the motion of the aircraft.

I was tracking it. But I'm sure I jiggled the camera when I hit the button - I tend to do that. Also, dusk light, telephoto lens, automatic setting, yadda yadda.

In that case the moon would've been blurred due to the panning of the camera.

YOU'RE A MEANIE!!

Not to worry. ShootER probably would'a left the lens cap on.

Nah, I'm not a Jeep owner.

Climbing is all legs, Forbin. If you can walk up stairs, you can climb, at least a little bit.

Dan, is the next foot by your left hip and next hand on the volume just out of shot? With that paint color, it could almost be my local gym.

Had a family wedding a few weeks ago, made it a point to get some headshots of me in a suit, without a busy background. Finally have a decent professional looking pic to go with my writings (see byline), on LinkedIn, etc.


Wow, all blown up like that, you can see my sideburns needed a trim, look like I got same major ear hair going on!

Next time take a few steps away from the background so it'll be out of focus.

... then focus on the background.

No.

Soma doesn't speak to you?

Used to. Doesn't post enough any more.

Soma is always with you. Literally. Blood, saliva, semen... you name it, he's there.
