It was kind of a dud if you ask me. But, since there is only a few more days of 2010 with no snow in the forecast, we might as well make a big deal out of it. Danbo sure seems to enjoy it!
I spent a frigid day shooting in downtown Worcester, MA. After a friendly young man offered me some "crack", which I politely turned down, I came across this interesting abandoned theater. Inside the entryway was a dead pigeon and hobo urine.
Last weekend I was the second shooter at our friends Mike and Natalie's wedding. They are special people and it was nice to help record their memories. I have done a couple weddings in the past, but being the second shooter is nice because it takes the pressure off. You don't have to worry so much about getting "the shot" and can concentrate more on capturing the feel of the day. While there is definitely a need for the formal shots, candids really help you to remember the event. To see more photos of the wedding, please click here.
I found another old railroad bridge. This one was in Webster, MA. I like this location a lot. I think I will have to come back sometime and explore a little more.
I have always wondered why candy bar companies call the smallest of all their products the "fun size". There's nothing fun about that! One bite and it's gone. What would be a "fun size" is a candy bar the size of your head! I guess we can only dream...
My new friend Len Scap and I went shooting in Princeton, MA today. It was a little chilly, but the scenery was great. Len is a pretty good photographer, I think I can learn a lot from the little guy.
One of my favorite bands is coming back for a reunion tour. Space suits, ear piercing sci-fi surf sounds, and a flaming theramin make for one of the best live shows ever. You can't beat the up close and personal feel of the Middle East in Cambridge. I can't wait!
Not many people travel down this lonely road, so I had to wait about 30 minutes for a car to drive by. I left my shutter open for 25 seconds to capture the headlight streaks.
I was looking through some of my old stuff recently and found my BurgerTime game. This was my favorite handheld video game. It was made by Mattel in 1982. You play as a chef who has to make burgers by climbing the different levels and dropping the burger layers down to the bottom. When the evil hotdog, steak, and fried egg attack, you have to sprinkle them with pepper. I know, pretty violent. I popped in a battery and surprisingly it still works! I even saved the instruction booklet. I'm not sure if it's worth anything, but for sentimental reasons I think I'll hold on to it.
I had to use a work van to pick up a few things today and noticed the interesting pattern of circles and lines. Kind of reminded me of the old game Connect Four.
Another reason why this is the best time of year, these cool little pumpkins.
