I love this city for the exploration and discovery of such weird and wonderful things.
This was a photo I took just before leaving after taking some sunset shots. I liked the bokeh in the shot and thought that it added a lot to it.
This is part of a set of silverware my mom got before she married. Something about the size and slender but comfortable handle makes these spoons my favorie for eating cereal or cottage cheese. The forks of this set were all deco-weird and unusable, and i have long since lost the butter knives, but the 4 spoons that i still have are the ones I always reach for in the silverware drawer.
Found object pendant featuring the brass pull from an antique dresser, part of a vintage necklace and a coffee stained piece of ribbon.
This strange object is a light aircraft which followed Waverley for some distance circling round us. I managed to catch it through the heat haze from Waverley's funnel and thought it made an unusual photo.
Waverley is often followed by various boats and aircraft or helicopters. Two days earlier a helicopter had followed us for some while along the Sound of Mull, and we encountered jet skis in Loch Linnhe.
Anyone able to identify the type of aircraft?
On Friday, August 7, 2015, a few lucky tweeters joined @amhistorymuseum and @SILibraries to tour "Object Project," "Fantastic Worlds," and the Dibner Library.
A roller creature caught in a precarious situation. 16 x 18 x 5 inches
Read about the making of "Roller Baby," as I like to call it, here:
The largest of the raptors, with an enormous bill. Has been known to carry off seal pups in the wild.
Victorinox Infantry Watch.
I'm 46 on Friday by which time I'd have had this 6 years.
It has been constantly reliable, quietly comforting & reassuringly accurate.
Unlike me.
I wanted to make sure that the subject was filling up most of the frame and I wanted to make sure the camera was high enough to see the shadow in the back as well. The most interesting part of this photo would be the gold reflection of the cart. I thought that it was cool to see both the dark shadow and bright reflection from the same subject. The emotion/feeling that I wanted to convey through this photo would be a feeling of richness, since it is a gold colored cart on something that I tried to make look like the red carpet. I had a low f stop because I especially wanted the cart to be in focus and a high shutter speed because of how bright the sun was.

Scooby was feeling a little jealous the last couple days. He's not satisfied just being the icon.
He will be 4 years old in a couple of weeks. As for the name it was his choice.
Old Objects
ca. 1930-1946
Wood engraving
Gift of the artist’s mother, Mrs. S. E. Geary
In this picture Geary represents a variety of early twentieth-century objects in the yard of a country house. Such scenes were undoubtedly quite common in rural Missouri in the early 1940s, the probable date of this print.
An old car sits in the backyard of the wood-frame structure. Geary also depicts a well, a laundry tub on legs, a bucket, and a large pot. The sagging fence and the unrepaired roof suggest neglect, although smoke billowing from the chimney indicates that the home is still occupied.
