I love the preparation(s) for this event. I love the transformation of our homes into the Holiday theme. I love Christmas.
at the end of the hall is this quiet spot with a quote by Robert Redford. i especially love the last line, "Nature and creativity obey the same laws, to the same end: life."
I was surprised to get this effect - part of the sky and trees reflected in the window I was shooting through, while the main subjects were clear.
Connolly Cabin, Isle Royale National Park.
I was looking for something in a box today and could not resist pulling out a couple of CDVs to scan. The hair part here looks "boy" but the china head doll says "girl" to me. In any case the little one is holding tight to it. The rocking chair must have been a problem since there are stops under the rocker to keep it from moving. The back mark is for James Zelner of Mauch Chuk, PA.

This is an old, weathered "Cracker Barrel" style rocking chair from our house in Atlanta.
It saw a season or two on the patio rather than the porch so this one is extra weathered.
There are two more (on the porch) that will be painted as well

My boss re-canes them and I repair and/or refinish the frames.
The seat and back were dropping disintegrating cane every time it moved and the varnish was flaking, lifting and discoloured after it had been accidentally left outside.
For a while I had parts of this hanging all over the place and I had to have a chart so I remembered how many coats each part had been given.
please show me what you have done with it in the comment box ;)

but do not make other stock from my stock!
As the weather gets warmer, people spend more time outside to clean up their lawns, gardens, and patios. This particular porch looks especially welcoming!
Here is the completed nursery as seen from the door! The closet runs the entire length of the wall to the left, and the wall unseen on the right houses the bookshelf I previously showed, as well as a cute white wicker hamper. All that's missing is a baby! (but she will be here no later than Wednesday! We are scheduled for an induction very, very early that morning if she doesn't get here on her own before that!!!!)

As I have noted in several earlier Flickr albums, as long as I continue going to the same NYC dentist, you can count on two or three sets of photos of Bryant Park each year. The reason is simple: my dentist is located in mid-town Manhattan, about a block from the park — and when I'm done, I'm always tempted to walk over and see how the park looks. Consequently, I've collected almost a dozen separate sets of Bryant Park photos, which you can see summarized here on Flickr.
At least one or two of those other sets will provide you with the historical details of the park; or you can look it up here on Wikipedia. But this particular visit (and one or two others in this collection) had nothing to do with my dentist: I was on a lunch-break from a weekend class at the International Center of Photography, located about a block away. It was a relatively mild late-winter Saturday, and I was feeling somewhat claustrophobic after spending the entire morning in a small windowless basement-level classroom; so I opted to skip my lunch meal, and just wandered around the park taking pictures.
After surveying the scene, I decided to make at least one circumnavigational loop, to photograph whatever looked interesting. Actually, there wasn't much alternative: the central lawn had been completely torn up, and roped off to keep people away. I think they're going to be laying down new sod/grass for the spring season ... but in any case, everyone was confined to the chairs and tables around the edge of the park.
Of course, there were lots of people reading books, chatting on their cell phones, and carrying on conversations with one another. But there was there was something else going on, to a far greater extent than I recall ever seeing here in the park before: people sound asleep. A couple of the people looked like homeless vagabonds, but most were well-dressed middle-class people who had simply decided, for whatever reason, to stretch out in a chair or lay their face and upper torso down on a table ... and drift off to sleep. So I took a few pictures of the people, as well as a few unusual displays of affection.
All of this was shot with my simple Canon G12 camera, instead of the various large, bulky DSLR cameras that I normally use. The main advantage of the G12 is that it's small and unobtrusive; and because it has a swivel (or "reticulating") LCD monitor, I can tilt it so that I'm looking down toward my feet while pointing the camera lens at an unsuspecting subject, who might be only a few feet away. Thus, instead of hurriedly firing off three or four shots with my Nikon D700, and hoping that one of them might produce good results, I could take my time with the G12, and get a single well-composed picture. Over the course of two weekends, I ended up taking a little over 250 photos, of which 100 survived the editing process, and will be uploaded here to Flickr over the next several days...
At the end of a one-hour lunchtime each day, I turned off the camera, and headed back up the street to my ICP class. But I'll be back to see my dentist next month, and I'll try to stop by the park again, to see what it looks like when spring has returned ...
