Have always though that the humble twin set is , for me, one of the great feminine outfits. Yes it may look a bit retro, but I still think they are a fabulous garment...perfect for the office!!

I met Sam and Lisa while we were all awaiting the Snowbirds arrival in Kingston Ontario. The Snowbirds are Canada's aerobatic demonstration team based in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan.
Word spread on social media that the Snowbirds, having just completed their annual airshow in Toronto, were en route to Quebec for their next show and were going to spend tonight at the Kingston airport. Quite a few aviation enthusiasts waited out a heavy downpour and a waterspout that came and went over Lake Ontario.
Sam, Lisa, and I had selected historic Fort Henry as our vantage point as it sits on a hilltop over Kingston and at the strategic mouth of the St. Lawrence River and the Rideau Canal.
A number of photographers and aviation enthusiasts waited out an intense downpour and even a waterspout that appeared over Lake Ontario and then disappeared.
While waiting for the airplanes to arrive and do their formation fly-by, I struck up a conversation with Sam and Lisa who then agreed to pose for my photo project.
Sam (with a cell phone on a tripod) is posted to the nearby army base where he has been serving for the last two years. He is originally from Toronto. Not a super-serious photographer, he still came prepared with his cell phone and tripod. When I asked if he had an "inside track" on when the Snowbirds would arrive he jokingly said "I'm Army and they are Air Force. We don't talk to each other that much."
Lisa, on the other hand, came equipped with a Nikon and a 200 mm zoom lens. She wished it was 600 mm. She is the photographer for the Royal Military College, "Canada's West Point" where officers are trained. It is located nearby. Lisa was very enthusiastic and said she had been in the military for 11 years, having decided upon the military as a career and as an educational opportunity. She talked about some of the exotic equipment she has used in the military - especially a high speed camera which was used to analyze how body armor stops bullets.
Before long the Snowbirds made their characteristic dramatic arrival from Toronto, circling Kingston in a tight formation with their smoke trails streaming out behind.
We all hoped for one more pass but after two or three circuits we had seen what we had come for and packed up our gear. I said goodby to Sam and Lisa and said I had enjoyed meeting them and they in turn wished me well and said they hoped I was enjoying Kingston.
Thank you Sam and Lisa for a friendly chat and for participating in my project. I hope we all got a decent photo or two of the Snowbirds.
Once again, an interest in photography served as a bridge between people who might otherwise never have met. I felt fortunate to have shared some time with these friendly, respectful soldier-photographers.

I made this for the Phat Quarter comic swap. Sam & Max is the only comic I've ever read, so I gave the antique treatment to a quote from Max, the adorable homicidal bunny.
I love my hobby... Its been a long time since I have spoken with one of my oldest friends. Its always difficult as we both have young families and now live on opposite sides of the country. But luckily I was featured in the local paper and his parents sent him a copy over to read and then an e-mail arrived in my inbox from him. A nice suprise and all thanks to this crazy hobby.
So this ones for you Sam.
As with most shots this is best on black - Hit 'L'

The reason Sam's Point got its name was because "a man named Sam, pursued by Indians, jumped off the cliff to avoid capture and miraculously survived the drop with the trees breaking his fall. " - Wikipedia.
I normally visit the Saddle River County Park in Glen Rock, N.j. Today 3/11/08 was a beautiful a very sunny day and Goose and Duck was too happy and was a nice day for good shots.

Nato a Samo nel 310 a.c. nell'antica Grecia e morto a Samo nel 230 a.c. nell'antica Grecia.
Astronomo e fisico, Aristarco è noto soprattutto per avere per primo introdotto una teoria astronomica nella quale il Sole e le stelle fisse sono immobili mentre la Terra ruota attorno al Sole percorrendo una circonferenza. Sappiamo inoltre che Aristarco concordava con Eraclide Pontico nell'attribuire alla Terra anche un moto di rotazione diurna attorno ad un asse inclinato rispetto al piano dell'orbita intorno al Sole (l'ultima ipotesi giustificava l'alternarsi delle stagioni). L'unica opera pervenuta di Aristarco è il breve trattato "Sulle dimensioni e distanze del Sole e della Luna", in cui stima la grandezza del Sole e della Luna e calcola le relative distanze dalla Terra: calcoli effettuati con le conoscenze geometriche di quell'epoca. L'opera di Aristarco può pertanto essere considerata una delle prime opere di trigonometria.
