Appomattox Court House / Formal Surrender Ceremony / Union Line at Court House / Confederate Force at Attention / Dignity in Defeat / Stacked Arms # 1
This is my favorite from the Big Surrender set. It's hard to capture the energy of live music in a still picture, but I think this one does.
Lee's Surrender overshot blanket, ready to weave. This felt good!
I assume that this weaving pattern came from sometime around the Civil War, given the name. I can't wait to actually have it finished!

The Fine People At Wikipeda have this to say about the original picture(s) this was based on.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%E2%80%93J_day_in_Times_Square
V–J day in Times Square, perhaps the most famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, is of an American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945, that was originally published in Life magazine. (The photograph is known under various names: V-J day in Times Square, V-Day, etc.[1])
Because Eisenstaedt was photographing rapidly changing events during the V-J celebrations he didn't get a chance to get names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the faces of either kisser and several people have laid claim to being the subjects. The photo was shot just south of 45th Street looking north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge.

However it does seem this statute is based on another photo taken at the same time by a navy photographer. (from the same Wiki entry):
U.S. Navy photo journalist Victor Jorgensen captured another view of the same scene, which was published in the New York Times.[4] This photograph shows less of Times Square in the background and does not show the full body of either the sailor or the nurse. Unlike the Eisenstaedt photograph, this photograph is in the public domain (by virtue of being produced by a federal government employee on official position).
I think i'm settled on using the name that her previous owner gave, Tinkerbell. :) The girlfriend actually suggested "Pinky" but that is kinda... ackkkkk...:/
Don't worry about the large looking thumb over there, unlike how it looks, its harmless!
Her markings are rather unique and upon first impressions she looks like a LH Black Dominant Spot Banded. However, neither parents displayed the dom spot pattern so that seems unlikely. It's a long shot but just maybe, she could be a recessive dappled or perhaps her markings come from being a tortie? Her parents were a SH Tortoiseshell banded & LH Golden.
Her temperament has been superb so far and it has made the settling down so much easier.
Headed out of Austin again with Brenna Larkin for a pretty neat photo shoot at Longhorn Cavern State Park in Marble Falls, Texas. We stopped by train tracks on the way there.

How riot police treat surrendered protesters?
These were taken at the Knitting Factory in 2008. It has the smallest stage I've ever shot on, so there was tons of cutting eachother off...running into eachother... close hand to hand combat! These are my best buds, and I shoot them more than anyone else I know. It shows the on-going saga of their career...
sometimes it is better to surrender in front of the technology! xD
I love this picture, Gretel is so funny xD ♥

These sunflowers caused me to pull over on the side of the highway and take pictures. I think it's because of the staring flower in the next photo.
