records Doris loves

The toddler play area at SeaWorld San Diego - we could have just gone here all day and Raley would have been happy. She was in strict delivery girl mode - lots of blocks to pick up and bring back to us! And the middle part (with the kid in the red shirt) just cracks me up. In fact, if you hear laughing on the sound, that's me - I'm just happy my hands weren't shaking with all of the convulsing I was doing!

Harmon added this image of the woman and one other to the original painting "Persistence of Memory"

New edition to my Salvador Dali collection.

This ones an "after" Dali lithograph.

I bought it because I wanted to get any of his prints that had this one graphic editors markings , especially the finger print shown.

It was one of three prints that came up on ebay a while ago (from the same seller) -

All of them had the finger print.

I actually was surprised to get this as cheap as I did as seller contacted me and sold it to me as a "second chance" offer.

I lost the auction but he sold it at my 2nd highest bid price.

The graphic editor ( Harmon) got Dali's finger print after Dali could no longer sign prints due to his illness , before death and used them to allegedly authenticate the lithographs.

Actually this shouldn't be considered an "original" Dali litho as I am sure he didn't do anything as far as the production of it ,

including allowing the size changes or additional images added to the original "Persistence of Memory"

There are still a few of last season's leaves that hang in there until they are sure the new generation is well on its way. :) (Due to this delayed spring, I understand their persistence!)

Eternal Lovecraft: The Persistence of Hpl in Popular Culture At The Best Price!

Well, we did it, the quintessential TIFF experience.

Not put off by the fact our first choice didnt happen, we still wanted to see Ang Lee's "Lust:Caution". So we got up on a rainy Sunday morning and went to box office at 7am....yes, 7 am.

No more tickets.

So we went rushline, and we were 3rd in line!!!

we waited under dubious cover, for 2 hours 15 minutes. We managed to pick up a free ticket from someone who didnt want it, so Angie went in. Then i managed to get Rush Line ticket!!! YAY!!

Everyone should try this once, its fun! hehe

A persistence of vision toy, like ladyada's mini-pov, only shittier!

I find when shooting Butterflies that persistence and patience is required.

This was shot with my new Canon EOS 60 D..

We're just now bonding and it's going pretty well.

The AG logo dances on my exhausted retinas.

Persistence paid off as Barry Battista caught this nice brown trout April 15th at Spring Lake in Florida just before dark on Tax Day, April 15, 2010. Barry says this shows it pay to do your taxes early! We agree!

Mojave National Preserve

The grand beauty that the Mojave Desert manifested was a reminder that persistence is one of life’s most precious qualities. It cultivates vision, preserves hope, and renders commitment.
