Brandi Carlile, Rock Star Edition

So I spent the last 2 days at more Brandi shows here in the Boston area. Read about them here: I apologize in advance that this is yet another post about Brandi Carlile. I'm sorry, I can't help it - I am once again amazed by that voice of hers, among other things. Her new album, titled "Give Up the Ghost" will be released on Tuesday, and she's currently on yet another tour to promote the ...

graffitti against the wall

These were taken the day I walked across the Qalandia checkpoint when traffic was crazy. I'd been wanting to photograph some of this art for a couple of months, but never was just walking around the area to do it, so this was actually a welcome chance. Much less welcome are the cluster of boys (3 of them younger, maybe 10 or 11, and one in his middle teens) who followe d me around, first trying ...

[1478] Okay, so some days are pizza days

So, when I claimed that my family eats better than yours , that was not altogether true. (Just mostly). Here's a sampling of dinners over the past three days, when it's been just me and Mom and Elise at home. Monday: soba noodles with bok choy, zucchini, green beans, peanuts, and baby portobello mushrooms. (I took the leftovers to work for lunch on Tuesday). Tuesday: Papa John's pizza ...

Retaining wall on Lake Superior

As a kid one of my favorite vacations with my family with the yearly trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to visit my Grandmother's cottage and spend a week relaxing and having a good time. In August of 2007 I went back there for an immediate family reunion (since I now live in Florida) and decided to take a walk down the beach with my camera. What I found buried in the sand was amazing. ...

2 Looks in 2 days!!! OMG!

DITL #4

A normal day, no warnings, just lots of pictures. A pretty quiet day. Lots of pictures, but no warnings. This morning begins with a hesitant peek outside… looks a little gray and cold still, so I double-check the time, hoping it’s something like six AM and I can sleep more. No such luck. Make the bed in an attempt to keep my room nice as the day gets busier. Start the day by ...
