Hand tinted print from an Ilford SFX200 infrared negative. Photographed with a Rolleicord III, 3.5 Xenar
This '61 Beetle was unique, not just because of its year and its two-tone color scheme. Look closely, and you'll see that the steering wheel is on the right-hand side. There's a simple explanation for this. The owner is a Brit, and when he moved to America he took his prize '61 Bug with him.
I had to bend over backwards to get this picture because it was so crowded around this Bug. I took it with a disposable camera and had a CD made, like with all of my pictures. But when the lab scanned the photo for disc, it was cropped. Thus the right-hand-side steering wheel appears in full view on the 4x6 glossy print, while it's somewhat cut off here. Sorry I couldn't do better. But it's still an interesting specimen of VW for people used to left-hand-drive (i.e., most of us) to appreciate.
Sculpture of a jazz band stands at the entrance to the New Orleans quarter – one of the best-loved photo opps for shoppers. Every day, people pose with the silent band members for photos. The band was created by Colin E. Spofforth, who made sketches of four men, Maynard Chitters (trombone), David Grillier (clarinet), Reginal Kollier (vocals), and Elmar Hubbard (banjo). The band is ten years old, being one of the original pieces of art that opened The Trafford Centre.
I'm not quite sure how we came up with this, but I find it amazing...
Emma was my little muse this morning, sitting on the couch curled up together in a blanket~
when the sun came in behind us through the window she started making shapes with her hands in the light...
I focused on the suitcase behind her hands and took the light reading from that.
she glows~

Christmas morning before opening of presents my son set up my tripod and his camera and took a series of family portraits, taking suggestions for possible poses. This was one of the better ones.
A lot of my pictures from May of last year (which is where I'm currently caught up to) were taken in the middle of my RT and subway fascination...as well as pics of the city in general. As much as I had fun going around and getting pictures of these things, I'm not really feeling them right now...so I'm having to browse through more recent pictures in order to mix it up, rather than post like 5 consecutive pictures of the RT or subway.
I know some of you guys like my TTC-related pics, and I still have dozens of them to post...but I feel the need to post a bokeh'd pic like this one in between my longer-distance, shallow-DOF city scenes.

Today the zoo made the decision to remove the elephants, over a period of time. I'm not sure what to think of this, but I think a lot of zoos are phasing out elephants in light of research into their well-being...that's my understanding of it, anyway.
