One of two images I did for my annual April Fools joke post.

Such love on flickr!

I've never played an April Fools joke (can't you tell??) but it was sorta fun. :-)

Once the blight of the urban landscape, these relics are now declared to be Official Works of Art.

Thank you to the Emeryville Board of Urban Arts for your vision!

The other day I found an enormous bug in my house. I had no idea what it was when I saw it, so I grabbed my camera and put on the 65mm macro lens to make sure I got some detailed shots of what I figured might be the important characters. Details at Enormous Unknown Bug!

The little character in the bottom right has changed! Not sure what it is though. Apparently it is different depending on region. Cute!

"My boy fell asleep at my house in New Jersey. While he was asleep, we picked him up and put him in the shed. We put a walky-talky in his pocket and we acted like he was kidnapped for two and a half hours. When he started crying, we let him out."

April the First, Two Thousand and Nine

The gang got together for our 1st annual April Fools Somethingoranother. The theme for the night: 'Stache Bash. A few of us grew out our beards for about two months (Casey grew his out for three years), and then we shaved down to the 'stache and had a night on the town--the ATL was none the wiser!

The 'staches are gone by now--and we've paid our respects--but the night will live in McGee infamy.
