Not sure I'd call it an *attractive* POV! If you want something a bit more handsome, try the alternate:

I explained the assignment for today and she immediately suggested "inside the garbage can".

2011/02/10: Change your point of view. Make a photograph from an unusual point of view today. #ds452
The sound of the ringing telephone down below was not the sound Conrad wanted to, or even imagined he would hear.
Here he was set up for the good life, living on a boat moored at Grove Harbour marinia, the life of Sonny Crocket without the guns and chases.
The sound of the old phone was a reminder of its place in the grand sceme that got Conrad here, the biggest game he had ever run, and which, ironically, came down to the physical wire (or what it represented) at the end of the phone line. He needed to keep it alive as part of the front of the ficticious Oak Tree Partnership, the "owner" of five other sham corporations each in turn which owned more enterprises that had filtered out the funds he had siphoned fmr Wall Street.
Ahh, nothing like the classic Wire scam.
And it had set up Conrad into the life he had dreamed of, where he could stop running, stop living under false names (well he would hang on to this one), stop having to think nine steps ahead to the other contignecies.
Ring.. Ring....
Damnit, that meant only one thing.
Mikey.
This was the emergency number he gave his little brother for exactly that. So Conrad was not exactly excited to find out what jam his kid brother had gotten himself into.
Lifting the hatch down into the cabin, Conrad waved at Ricardo, his neighbor out for his daily poodle walk.
With the phone on its fifth ring, Conrad had no time for the usually bullshit chat with the supposed ex Mayor of Santiago de Cuba.
Nestling deeply into the leather chair next to the compact offiice area, Conrad picked up the phone, marveling a moment at the wonder of a traditional telephone, tethered to the world by a line, a huge anacronism in the day of mobile phones. But there was a puremess of POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) in that it worked when the power went out, when the winds blew like howling hyenas, and without even needing electricity.
"Hello, Mikey," he said.
Pause.
"Because you are the only one who should be calling me. What's going on? Where are you?"
....
Conrad waited, Mikey was not the quickest with unrolling the facts.
"Arizona? What is the name of that town again?"
....
"That's a real town name? Geezus. It's on your delivery route, right?" What kind of trouble did you get into."
....
And so slowly, Mikey stammered out his situation. Conrad could not be surprised, with all the ways the world had taken care of his innocent brother.
"So she sent you the photos? They definitely show your face?"
....
"Oh Mikey, you got nailed. She has your home address, and the last thing you need is Doreen getting a surprise envelope in the mail."
On his iPhone, Conrad was quickly looking up an address in Flagstaff.
"Okay, Mikey. Go to this address in San Francisco Street in Flagstaff- its an offive where I will wire you the cash. Pay her off and get home."
....
"What's going to happen? You don;t need to know, Mikey. Just tell me about this woman..."
...
"Uh huh, got it, White Toyota.... red hair.... plays card at Spotsman's Lodge"
....
"Don't worry, kid, that's what I am here for. Now get your ass to Flagstaff, pay off the bitch, and head home. Call me when you get there.... yes, I love you too."
Sigh. There goes the nice stretch of retirement in paradise. Conrad would be packing the gear, and heading to west Buttfart Arizona, and see about a little game of Get Back with some floozy who fleeced his brother woth the oldest trick in the game.
But.... Conrad wanted to play this differently. An inkling of a plan set in his brain like a fertile seed, one that would grow and blossom during the long drive west.
In this game, the expected revenge would never happen, but the bitch who messed with his brother would not know it. It would be the ultimate set up that was never delivered.
The idea of playing a new game that was not the old game that was not even the real game was intriguing Conrad.
He was most alive when he was curious with a plan inside of a plan inside of plan.
And so, he hung up the old phone, pulled out the old worn travel bag, and looked up where the hell "Burns, Arizona" really was.
He was back from retirement.
Again.

Wanted to try the Daily Shoot challenge today and just more playing around with my 5D and 50 f/1.8 in the apartment. Need the cold weather to go away so I can head outside and shoot.

Whooppee, day off work tomorrow. I thought I would start my long weekend off a bit early with a bit of pampering down at Bliss Beauty Lounge followed by a chippy dinner - classy ;)
Off to bed soon so I am nice and fresh for my full day of shopping tomorrow!

This is the view I saw of my son Alex during his emergency caesarean section. This point of view could be considered unusual.
Alex says. Hello. My name is Alex Lee Peter. Pleased to meet you.

I was driving home and notice the nice delicate shades of Pink and Blue in the sky during the sunset. Then I saw all these power lines and all the towers and got this vision in my head.
Enjoy and remember to comment and critique.

This is the lamp in my bed room. I think it looks like tentacles.

This is the underside of my Laundry Room Chandelier...yes, I said laundry room. If I had it my way, I would have one in every room. lol
Staring down the barrel of a pair of chopsticks flanked by a Chinese teacup, at the Dumpling King cafe in Adelaide's Chinatown. Complementary hot tea and chilli sauce sit on tables along with the cutlery.
I took this shot while waiting for my wontons. I totally recommend #7 Prawn and Pork Wontons in Soup, which is what I had today.
Taken with iPhone 3GS.

This lamp is with me when I shoot photographs. Then it's positioned in every direction but not like this.

The Daily Shoot #452: Change your point of view. Make a photograph from an unusual point of view today.
Today's Daily Shoot assignment was:
Change your point of view. Make a photograph from an unusual point of view today.
and I wondered what my refrigerator sees first thing in the morning.
Well, wonder no more! This is it! Or it would be if O.J. was my morning "go-to" drink (I'm really a coffee, black, kinda guy), or if I really wore a dalmatian robe around the house. ;-)

Cooper with a watchful eye....
Played some Angry Birds for a little while...I'm not totally obsessed with it, but I do enjoy playing a level or two here and there. My only purchase from the App store on my mac. It is worth the $4.99 I paid for it.

The view of the lobby from my floor in the hotel we're staying at in DC for the conference. I like the piano island.
Doug (@dougpete) and Kelly (@kellmoor) debrief the panel discussion at the OTF Teaching and Learning in the 21st Century conference. Doug moderated a discussion "Social Networking and Web 2.0 in Education," and Kelly sat on the panel, sharing her work in using new Net technologies with students and educators in her district.
Other participants on the panel included representatives from ETFO, OSSTF, OECTA, Ontario Student Trustees Association, and the Waterloo Region District School Board. Anchoring the panel was conference keynoter Will Richardson (@willrich45).
And Danika. (@danikabarker)

Wooden giraffe mask held up to the window. Tweaked the shadows a bit to give the clouds some definition.

Wandered down to Circular Quay, found an a glass elevator that heads up to the overhead highway i've never seen before. It's kinda cool up there, you can see over the top of all the wharfs, the bridge and the opera house all at once. Added another photo below showing the view. This photo is the top of one roof with lots and lots of poopies :) Changed the murky blue to a nice aqua, contrast and clarify just on the side with the birds.

Sometimes, it makes sense to put your camera under a car.
Today was one of those days.
Incidentally, shank's pony is one of my dad's sayings. If you're not familiar with it, I guess it is really very old. Goes back to old English. You're riding "Shank's Pony" when you walk. Sort of the original all-terrain vehicle, I suppose. :)

Just a quick shot tonight. I have a collection of Snow Babies. This one is looking through an ice hole. So tonight I let it hang off the cabinet so I could get low and shoot up at her face. Here's a different view www.flickr.com/photos/nedrai/5434788695/
