Catchin' up

I noticed that recent posts have been bereft of photos, as this medium allows for great opportunities to express myself through the eye of a lens, though this expression is now ubiquitous and devalued as every handheld gadget allows every Tom, Dick, or Harry to be a "photographer". More on my photog snobbery in a later rambling...

Anyway, here are some snapshots that have been piling up in my phone...

Gratuitous bike shot after Rockburn 'cross race.

Phone booths in the East Wing while waiting for my beloved at the Hopper exhibit. Two observations: 1. You just don't see these things anymore and 2. These particular phone booths are keenly designed in the manner of the rest of the East Wing--no afterthought here.

While looking for a West German set screw for my Mom's towel bar, I spotted this bathroom setup at Union Hardware: TV in your mirror, neon lighting in your vanity. Only $14,500. God save us.

Or how about an aquarium integrated into the vanity…fish in a fishbowl in a sinkbowl…Go

d save us part deux.

Me and my nephew…in motion.

Christmas night, after the carnage of present opening has been swept away. It has been said that cats are living sculpture. The only photograph in this sorry bunch.

Our view at M&T during the Steelers Ravens game.

One week later, the shrine to SuperBowl hopefuls---only to be dashed that same night.

Pomegranate seeds--yet another brilliant example of nature's candy. My sister showed me how to "shell" them without dyeing one's hands (and everything within spraying distance) pink. Submerge pomegranate in water, peel out seeds, voila.

Underground sewer connection on Call Street SE. OK during the day. Don't go at night.

The Metro. I'm always amazed by the simplicity of the tunnels coffers.

Someone didn’t edit…
