Dodge Charger
Picture Date: 04/08/2010
A very dirty Delaware State Police Dodge Charger. This Charger sports clear lenses on the lightbar which is different from most other DSP vehicles. This was also the first Charger DSP purchased and equipped, hence the experimental "swooped" striping on the sides. It was decided that the rest of the Chargers will have straight stripes, as normal, and this is the only Charger where the swooped stripes remained to my knowledge.

For an overcast day with the sun making some funky colors in the gray sky I think this came out very well. I processed a few others with angles from the other side of this monolithic statue but it included the sun which made the clouds kinda weird and oily looking.
Sometime this week or so I should have another pano of the Austin skyline which I am hoping will come looking great and not have different light variations like my previous pano from Austin. It will take some time but I'll definitely get it posted once it's completed.

To learn how I process my HDR's I have a tutorial up as well as a PDF in it's description so you can print it out.

On the wall of the Cheerful Tortoise, a Portland State University hangout. PSU wrestling is one paint job away from obivion.
Collegiate wrestling is in decline on the West coast.
The first wrestling match we attended was at Portland State University. Now that program's been shut down, as has wrestling at the University of Oregon. Wrestling died at the University of Washington in about 1980.
I like wrestling because men can excel regardless of their stature. That's not true of many other sports.
It's also one of the few sports that hasn't been tainted by professionalism at the high school and college levels. It is and will remain a true amateur sport. They do it because they love the sport (hence the word "amateur"), not money or fame.
Here's an excerpt from a March 2009 newspaper article about the PSU team's demise:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even as he watched his team compete for perhaps the final time at this month's Pacific-10 Conference championships, Portland State wrestling coach Mike Haluska remained optimistic.
"I just had a really good feeling through all of this that it would work out," Haluska said.
Instead, the Portland State wrestling team was informed Wednesday by the university that it has been eliminated.
The news comes two months after PSU president Wim Wiewel created a seven-person task force to look into concerns with the wrestling program related to finances, academics and lack of success at the Division I level.
"This is very disappointing," Haluska said. "None of (the athletes) want to leave. They all want to wrestle at Portland State. Right now, they're obviously pretty down. But we're going to fight to keep it."
Portland State athletic director Torre Chisholm told the Vikings their fate in a 45-minute meeting Wednesday morning. The university task force recommended that wrestling become a club sport.
"I don't believe that it was any single area of concern that led to the decision, but a combined effect of all the problems," Chisholm said. "Added together, the wrestling program was in serious distress and the university lacks the resources to fix the many problems."
Portland State becomes the 15th college in Oregon to eliminate wrestling in the past 35 years, including the 670th in the nation, according to the National Wrestling Coaches Association. The University of Oregon cut its program after the 2007-08 season.

The 71st annual Photography Salon was held at the Iowa State Fair. More than 1,500 photographers entered and 617 were chosen to have at least one photo displayed. I was honored to have won first place in the "Things & Still Life" category.
This is just a simple triptych of the event with a shot of the crowd gathering in the courtyard of the State Fair's Cultural Center for the awards ceremony (bottom) and a couple of shots Mary took of me receiving my award from Charley Starnes, the superintendent of the photography salon (middle) and standing next to my winning entry (top).

Empire State Building New York USA
I think it is the new World Trade Center being built in the background. Photo taken from the observation deck of the Rockefeller Center, Mid Town New York.
Exposure: 1/640 sec at f/11 ISO 640 lens: EF85mm f/1.8 USM.
Since visiting the Empire State Building years ago, I've been determined to build my own version. I've been busy with a big project for a while now (several years in the making), but I wanted to take a break to post something different. Made from over 7,000 pieces and built over 14 hours, I designed this piece with many SNOT techniques to capture as many details as possible at a (relatively) small scale. That said, at 31 inches tall, this is my tallest creation to date. This building ended up requiring a great deal of trans-gray 1x1 plates (so much that only one Bricklink store in the world had the required inventory). In fact, in total, the tower includes over 3,800 1x1 plates (over half the pieces).

BASTROP, Texas – Despite earlier optimism, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department firefighters and other personnel were still facing a fire threat to historic structures at Bastrop State Park today.
According to TPWD incident commander Robert Crossman, all but about 100 acres of the 6,000-acre park have been blackened by fire, but firefighters have so far been able to save most of the Civilian Conservation Corps-constructed structures on the park, with two possible exceptions – two CCC observation structures believed to have been damaged.

Certified milk tester for NYS
Show chairman for NYSDGBA
Registered operating room nurse for Syracuse Ortho Specialists SOS
Judged the youth 4-H fitting and showmanship class @ NYS Fair
Won her first goat at 8 by writing a 300 word essay on how she would care for it.
“I remember being in the car and getting butterflies when I saw the fairgrounds exit.” First started to really talk to Tom in their early 20s, they had started to date long distance while she was in nursing school in AZ. When Tom had his accident they began to speak more and more. She came up to help take care of him after one of his surgeries to rebuild his ears. She stayed at his families house for a week after the surgery to take care of him. That was a defining moment in their relationship. After she graduated she moved to Syracuse. Her and Tom bought his parents farm, the same house she had stayed to take care of him. They still live there to this day.
“All the goats have their own personalities, some I hate and some I love. I can just look at them and tell if something is wrong.”
“Favorite thing at the fair is walking around, people watching, there is always something new to see.”
“The worst part of the fair is leaving, and saying good-buy to the whole goat barn family until next year.

Lets play peek-a-boo for a second. This view is the produce wall in the old Albertsons blue-gray store. In Stater Bros.' remodeling, the department signage and the wall it was attached to came down, exposing this earlier (looks like 70s) paint scheme. (The framing you see is new construction, btw., and the black plastic was the deli corner.) Was this an Albertsons interior - or something else? Stater Bros. 7814 Firestone Blvd, Downey, CA 90241.
