In the Wudadao neighborhood of Tianjin, China.
Wudadao (五大道), or the Five Main Avenues, are an affluent and historic section of Tianjin, China, in the Heping district just south of downtown. They five main avenues (streets more than avenues) are: Chongqing, Changde, Dali, Munan, and Machang. They take their names from cities in southwestern China.
This is a small, eminently walkable neighborhood (nearest subway station is Xiaobailou on line 1) that is most renowned for being eclectic. It is primarily residential, but sprinkled throughout the neighborhood are quite a few chic restaurants, trendy boutiques, a few sculptures, and a small park. The avenues have an east-west alignment and – from at least two of them – there are nice views of the Tianta Television Tower to the west that can be framed by the tree-lined avenues.
Wudadao is a photographers’ delight. Architecturally, it has a smattering of quite a few different styles: Renaissance, Greek, Gothic, and Romantic. The area designates 230 buildings as historic with those architectural styles from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. About 50 of the houses have been lived in by local and national celebrities which also adds to the quirky attractiveness.
Strolling the avenues with a camera is a wonderful way to spend a morning or afternoon. Stop in and grab a bite at any of the restaurants in the neighborhood. (I’m personally quite fond of Chateau 35 on Changde Dao which is one of the best steakhouses in Tianjin.)
If you are tired of strolling – though the area isn’t terribly large – you also have the option of renting bikes to ride around (standard, tandem, or “bike carts”) or even touring the area by horse and buggy. You will most certainly run into photographers like me trolling the streets and probably be pleasantly surprised by the area.
There's absolutely nothing interesting about this KFC, save for the man shooting up in the parking lot.

20 May 2009; Cobb School in Benona Township, Oceana County, Michigan.
This school, along with 5 other one-room schools ceased operations in 1956 to become Benona Community School. This school was merged into Shelby Public Schools in 1972.
there is always something magical about the basic one-room schoolhouse
Barren County, Kentucky. Barns of this kind, are found mainly in Barren County, Kentucky and counties that are adjoining. I asked many people why so built, before I found out. In the 1920,s in response to the collapse of the "Dark Tobacco" prices, the County Agent in Barren County persuaded many farmers to turn to Dairying.The barns rise vertically 3 to 5 Feet, slant out and upward at a 30 degree angle for a few feet, then return to the vertical 5 to 8 feet off of the ground. The slanted side forms a feed trough, into which hay could be easily forked into from loft.

Steve and I celebrate Christmas and spend five exciting days in Hong Kong -- amazing food, packed subways and streets, and tiny, tiny rooms everywhere. This may be one of our favorite cities, for its eclectic mix of different cultures and languages, squeezed next to each other with nary an inch to spare. If only it wasn't more expensive than NYC!

Slanted, issue #10. Theme: Heavy Metal. Lovers. Karlsruhe (Spring 2010)
Spread showing photos of selected items from the Linotype and Klingspor Museum archives.
While it can be debated this is the coolest t-shirt ever, the point of this pic is to show how I have slanted shoulders and how doing some dedicated upper trap work would be beneficial.

One of those shots where I laid down on the edge of a cliff to capture what really is a pretty boring shot.
