My son was playing with Natasha yesterday, Moving his hand into her space, the top of the bookcase, and then jerking it out of reach before she could get her claws into it. He didn't want to be in my shot and moved away, but she wasn't done playing!
One of the main shows at the Minnesota Renaissance Fair is the jousting competition. It's actually fun to watch. This jousting troupe travels to various Ren Fairs; I've seen them several times but they always put on a good show. I didn't get that many shots of them at the MRF since every time I set up for a shot a horse seemed to get in my way!
I took this photo over the Labor Day weekend in September 2011.
Ok, so my new librarian friend, Bunny Spice,http://www.flickr.com/photos/bunnyspice/, who I have probably seen at some library event somewhere, suggested that I ...
"I enjoy your stream. We are quite alike in our photography tastes, which makes this fun for me.
I challenge you to take three of your favorite things (or a representation of) and compose a lovely still-life. You can light and process it as you wish, but it should be representative of your personality and style. "
I first had to think of three (notice how I scored a couple of extras?) favorite things. I hope it's a lovely still-life. I looked at the project as a story. In the year 2035 a grandchild is given a very old leather suitcase. The story she is told: this suitcase belonged to your great-grandmother, and years ago your grandmother treated it like a time capsule and packed away three (or four) things that had meaning for her. There is a letter, hand-written, that tells a bit about your grandmother, but she hoped that these objects would give you a broader picture of what was important to her and what were some things that shaped her life. Inside the suitcase the grandchild found: a wedding photo in a silver frame, an old toy car, a photo of three young adults, a bald doll, and a yellowed school schedule of some sort. The grandchild took them out, examined them, and pieced together significant pieces from the life of her aging grandmother. Whether the child was correct will never matter. What is important is that she held the objects and gave them life again.
(Feb. 18, 2009: It's not at all surprising to me that the most viewed picture on my photostream isn't one that I took, but instead one by some unknown photographer of a hundred years ago. For as long as I can remember, I've known that this was a compelling image.)
Me, me, me!
I've been tagged! This photo restoration is as good an occasion as any for my listing 16 things about me. I'm given to understand that I could probably get away with "9 for '09" but my friend yourwillingskin (AKA Northstar) wanted 16, so here goes:
1. I am the only son of an only son of an only son. In connection with this, the man in the centre of the picture is Joseph Reid, a schooner captain and my great grandfather. The little boy tucked into his arm is Eldred Reid, my grandfather.
2. I lived in the house in the picture for two years in the early 70s, when I was around four or five years old. I also spent many months and weeks during the summers of my childhood with my grandparents in Heart's Delight. Much time was spent catching frogs and crabs, as well as drawing comic books in scrap books. In my memories and imagination, the town of Heart's Delight will always have an association with sunshine and an easy state of being.
3. Although I've spent a lot of time trying to figure it out, I have no firsthand idea of how non-creative people can put up with their own company.
4. I don't count myself as having produced anything of any real merit for more than six years, since I moved out of a place I was renting as a painting studio on my 34th birthday. Subsequently, I sometimes have trouble putting up with my own company.
5. I sing. Nothing all the way through, of course. Just bits and pieces of songs. I got in quite a bit of practice while I was alone in my painting studio. Some people are gracious enough to tell me that I'm half-decent.
6. Or maybe it's impressions of singers that I do. Anything from the plaintive rant of Roger Waters of Pink Floyd to the plaintive swoon of Fran Healy of Travis. Sometimes I even do Elvis Presley.
7. For 15 years of my life I wanted to be a comic book artist. I was a teenager at just the right time to see Frank Miller and Alan Moore start to do their stuff. Although I got bored of comics when I was 17, the ambition continued until I was 22, when I decided I wanted to paint instead.
8. Watchmen, which was first published during my first year of university, was the last comic that I bought regularly. Alan Moore really had the golden touch.
9. My childhood was ruled by a boundlessly expansive imagination. The things that caught my attention -- comic books, chapter books, drawing, and later pop music -- seemed more wonderful than I will ever be able to express. Pretty girls should be listed there too. Pretty girls really had me in a bad way.
10. Off the top of my head, my favorite movies this past year were Superbad and... wait a bit, I'll get back to you.
11. Off the top of my head, my favourite music this past year was Bon Iver. (I enjoy mimicing Justin Vernon's falsetto, too.)
12. Way out ahead of the pack, my favourite author is Kurt Vonnegut. He offers me complicency, I guess, just as any friend would. I've also been deeply moved by the writings John Steinbeck. Saroyan has brought me to tears, but that was years ago. The best I read this past year was Cormac McCarthy.
13. Fortunately for me, I can't play first-person shooters. They all give me a terrible headache. Unfortunately for me, if I actually can see an avatar on the screen, then I can play computer games without getting a headache for quite a while. But I don't bother with them very much.
14. I work as a graphic designer at a small town printer's. I've known since the mid-90s that I found graphic design to be truly soul-sucking work. Maybe if my life hadn't had certain difficulties, I would have been able to work my way into an interesting graphic designer postion, like, say, art director for an interesting magazine.
15. When I wasn't painting or graphic designing during the past decade, I was driving ambulances, pumping gas, or working as a clerk. Like I say, if my life hadn't had certain difficulties...
16. If you've reached Number 16, then you're probably a friend of mine.
black and white or no?
i love this picture sooooooo much.
i was trying to get a picture of him looking of that fence but then he picked his wedgie and i HAD to snap a picture!
I'm getting things arranged at the new office. Nowhere near done yet, but this is what it looks like. The Pooh books are above the monitor just off the top-left corner of the picture.
look from under the water at Alu ^^

A poster on Lairdsland Road, Kirkintilloch . . . it could readily apply to the town council's attempts to revamp the Cowgate with their 'masterplan.' Roll on the council elections! As a certain Mr Trump would say 'What the hell is going on!''
A ways downcanyon, the bottom gets narrow and deep, carving a classic twisty slot. We explored for a short distance then clumb back out and tracked the top for as far as we could. Once again we failed to bring enough water. Seems to be something we have to do once every two or three years just to remind ourselves to not be stupid and bring enough water.
Whatever.
We're planning on going back and going much further down, or maybe starting from Route 24 and working our way up to here.

I have been working on this during my free time. It features the lyrics to Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip "Get Better".
They recently set up a facebook page after the London Riots -
After all the nonsense on the streets of England this last week, this song has a clear and relevant message. Buy the tune now and get it charting if we can, so more people can hear it, and perhaps heed this advice.
I'm trying to get 'Get Better' by Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip some exposure in light of the recent rioting in London and across the country, and get the wonderful message contained in the lyrics of the song out there in a time of need for such words. The mesmerising chorus says it all, and the song manages to say all that the politicians are unable to get across in a way that can be understood by those who need to hear it. Please take a listen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEitrZU-nCw. I believe it sums up the sentiment of many people towards the young people involved in the rioting: not that we are het up against them, but that we just want them to be better people.
The facebook group is kicking off in an amazing way, with 824 members in just 17 hours! Please like the page and spread the word, and maybe we can use music to calm the rioters troubled souls.
