Nothing to add to that, really. :)
I'm going out tonight so I'll be visiting your streams later. (like tomorrow!) I was trying to keep up during the day, but I think everyone uploaded when they got home from work, just like me!
Have a good night everyone!
Oh!! Is anyone's stats doing weird things today? Like they're unusually high and hits are coming from random Flickr pages?

When I first started shooting street I used to get a little 'Chicago Love' just about everytime I went out!
It hasn't happened in a while.
I guess I'm just better at approaching people... and making the getaway.
Ahhhhh... 'Chicago Love.'
It's been too long.
I really like how the depth of field in this one worked out.
In other news... somewhat sad... my house was burglarized recently and a bunch of my camera gear was stolen.
And a book of DVD's that was filled with pictures of my kids.
And a bunch of paperwork.
I think I know who did it... and I'm not even bummed about it because they'll probably be caught.
My Nikkor AF-S VR 70-200mm f/2.8 G IF-ED Serial Number 315523 was stolen.
My Nikkor AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-200mm 3.5- 5.6G IF-ED Serial Number 3109840 was also stolen.
My Nikon SB-800 Speedlight Serial Number 2529680 was also stolen.
There was other gear and I'll post the model numbers and serial numbers here soon.
Sooner or later these serial numbers will turn up.
I will have replaced them with a check from the insurance company by then.
But the insurance company will no doubt prosecute the guilty party.
I'm really only bummed about the DVD's with my kids pictures on them.
They were all pretty much labled as 'kid pictures.'
I don't know who would want to steal just those things and leave a whole bunch of other valuables behind... but my insurance company will take care of it all.
And they've got a great record of recovering gear.
So... to whoever broke into my home and stole my camera gear and the pictures of my kids... I dedicate this photograph to you.
If you aren't arrested for burglary and maybe even a few other things... well... there's always karma.
I'm smiling as I write these words so don't feel bad for me... not a bit.
Justice is coming... I know that much.
Thank you guys for all of the kind words of encouragement and support and all of the nice flickermails!
In a very ironic way I can only tell you that this is a really good thing. :)
The area of the Terminal Tower in Downtown Cleveland is extremely busy with all walks catching and transferring the transit system.
This man was heading to the Allen County Public Library in Downtown Fort Wayne, IN. He looked pretty tough.
Definitely not the picture I wanted.
I had another idea.
I was laughing because my next door neighbor, who is this really old gay man who I am kinda scared of, is obsessed with my roomate and I. With my roomate because he loves her shoes (not kidding) and with me I really don't know why.
But he was outside and kept telling me to take my shirt off, and my roomate kept threatening me that she was going to lock me outside.
That and with this lucifer's armpit heat I was just laughing, most likely because I was dehydrated.
So this is all I got. The rest were just horrible.
Maybe I will do another one later, once it cools down.
My roomate kept calling me a little "vaj" because all I have been doing is complaining about the weather
and now that the heat is here
I can't handle it.
Karma is a bitch.
But this is like hell hot

Some little girls having fun at the beach (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines).
Happy weekend, everybody! :-)
The room was beautiful...
it had two queen beds and eighteen foot high ceilings.
I knew from the second that I saw the place that we were gonna get some 'air' in there.
'Maybe it was high enough to do flips' I thought.
You certainly wouldn't have to worry about hitting your head on the ceiling.
I waited all week until after we'd packed up before I told them I wanted to do some jumping.
I've never forgotten to look at the world through the eyes of a child.
My children remind me to do that every day and I really appreciate them for that.
They give me the world...
the way it's supposed to be.
Did I tell you it was gonna be an epic weekend or what?
I hope I wasn't the only one feelin' all of that love.
I hope you were bathed in love and light this weekend too.
Three shows... a photowalk... a hot date with a beautiful woman... supercopious amounts of street shooting... I learned to use off camera flash... hung out with some fascinating people and shot the shit out of them... another beautiful date with a hot woman... overslept and jumped outta bed on Sunday morning for the photowalk after sleeping for only two hours... wait that was Saturday...
How did I get here?
I remember the sun comin' up and the freakin' birds starting to sing.
Why do birds gotta be so damn happy at five in the morning?
Epic weekends tend to all kinda 'run together.'
Three hundred miles on the odometer since Friday!
Some killer tacos...
that great sanguich in Joliet.
For the first time I got 'thrown into' a place I wanted to shoot... after I got busted with my fake pass...
Then the waitress bought me a beer as I shot on stage.
It was like opposite world this weekend.
That's the world I live in.
I'm tired... I feel like a zombie... I gotta wake up... I need to shower and shave... I've got way too many pictures to go through... I'm glad I get to share these stories with you or I'd forget them all.
This coffee is like heaven.
I hope your weekend was everything that you wanted it to be.
Don't worry about it.
You got the whole week to recover.
Let's make it a great week getting ready for next weekend!
Don't forget to remember the love!
When I first got her it was hard to walk around on deck or inside the cabin... I'd come home all sore and with bruises... it hurt... but that doesn't happen anymore... I can move around with a lot of confidence and balance... knowing her motion and knowing where to put my hands and feet... it's pretty cool to experience... you get to really know a vessel... all of her idiosynchracies and stuff... sounds and vibrations... you watch her react to certain situations and you get to know her... this is what her rigging does when she heels like that... this is how the helm feels when the main and the gybe are curved perfectly... and there's always something else you can do... always a little better... always seeking more and more... an edge in given conditions. I ripped her main sail a little bit... in a way I feel bad... a little sail repair tape'll get us through the season... but I'm a clumsy and brutal sailor and I do things in a way that sometimes create a whap or a bang and a sudden force... I know I'm not supposed to sail like this but I love to kick off my shoes and feel my barefeet on her deck... it's the most telling that way... I can feel her so much more and we keep getting tighter and tighter... sometimes I think about the big waves or a storm... I think about how we'll both react and sometimes I can't wait to get into the shit with her and then enjoy that first beer back in the calm of port. I'll take it easy but I'm gonna keep pushing it all... I'll probably break and tear things and see what we've both got but Infinity ain't gonna be no 'Harbor Queen' no way... the lady and I are gonna keep dancin' that dance out there and when the water gets warmer we gonna get crazy on Michigami!
Don't know if I've ever mentioned the fact that I LOVE summer?! ;-))
Here's another shot of my perfect sunday yesterday.

Back from my holiday to Mexico & still recovering from Jet Lag... loving it ;)
Anyway first of many shots from this Holiday which I'm hoping you will all appreciate.
This one is a selfie during a deep sea fishing trip thanks to a GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition camera, loving life :D
