Those occasional photographic accidents….disastrous or fortuitous? evetheblog.wordpress.com/2025/07/06/oops/
Last night Paul was dropping me off after Funktion when a shiny new Mercedes McLaren raced up the street and drove right into the Vedanta Church's iron gate, pictured here. We parked and ran down the street to make sure everyone was OK. Two Persian boys in their early 20s were the occupants of the car. They were fine but desperately trying to flee the scene. The driver was trying to reverse out and accelerating but not going anywhere- just blowing up dust all over the sidewalk. His friend, meanwhile, was on side of the car trying to push it out. Funny thing is, the right from wheel was turned sideways, axl busted I'm sure. His friend kept elling him to turn the steering wheel and while he did, the wheel never actually moved. We were trying to help but there was obviously no reasoning with them. Pretty soon after that, an older man from the church came out. He asked if they were ok, inspected the scene and started to write down the license plate number of the car. The guy outside of the car got in his face and said "lose that piece of paper. we'll pay you in cash, right here, right now," and proceeded to take out a ridiculous roll of money from his pocket. All 100s. The man from the church wasn't interested in that and said he wanted to do deal with this situation by reporting it to the proper authorities. This made the young guy really mad and he started to get in his face, like he wanted to fight him. Paul and I ran over, I told the guy to calm down because this man was likely a priest from the church and to realize that he hadn't struck the gate of a private residence, it was a CHURCH. Pretty soon, the driver knew he was fucked, got out of the car and started saying shit like "There was another car flying down the street and I veered to get out of the way. There was no where else I could go!" Yea fucking flat out lie. Paul and I looked at each other, and knew cops were about to come and though we'd witnessed the whole thing we began to feel really scared that if we were to tell the cops what we saw, that those guys might retaliate. I live less than half a block up the street, and the last thing I want is for some stupid, rich idiot kids to start fucking with me for giving a statement. Paul walked over to the guy and said "If I were you, I'd grab the keys and just leave...get the fuck out of here or you're going to get arrested for a DUI." The guy shook his head, walked over to his friend (the driver) and started conversing in Farsi at which point Paul and I just walked away. I hung out in my living room trying to hear what was going on. I heard cops arrive. I heard a tow truck. I never actually heard the boys' voices again.
NUTS.

The best plans sometimes go wrong. What started off as a lemon risotto almost ended up as lemon and finger risotto. Parmesan, a large knife and a unsuspecting finger. Oops. Lucky I'd finished with the lemons, and wasn't cuting chilli.

#90. Jules, Tate and their cousins decorated Easter eggs with their Grammy (my mom) today. I dropped one on it's way to the fridge.
Always remember the Rule of P: Proper prior planning prevents piss poor performances. Modelers, take note! Prairie du Sac Industrial Park.
Edited, darkened the interior of the car so you could(sort of) see what happen outside.
best viewed large(so you can actually see what happened)
(Scroll for the bloody beauty) Because I'm an idiot, I sliced my finger open while trying to fix my candy corn button that broke the other day. Because I'm a loser, I took photos of it.
Not much you may say, a scraping of paint and a slightly damaged rear end, but that's pretty bad going for an almost new bus, which had just been swiped by T419 XVO. After some sorting of paperwork and an apology both buses were on their way.
Common hazard of an ultra-wide (in this case 8mm) lens: if you're not careful, you end up with your feet in the picture!
Monster west swells have hit the Big Island as they always do in January. So this float that should normally reside 300 yards offshore now looks like the newest beach bar of Kona. Oops!
he felt because it was very wet on the ground and he slipped, but no problem... he stood up in a second:)
Spotted as I pedalled to work. The car was heavily damaged at the back also. Exactly what happened on a straight, relatively wide urban road in benign weather conditions was unclear.
Day 299
Oops! I thought this was my 300th day but it turns out I messed up numbering somewhere in the last week, and it was my 299th day.
So....In the last 299 days of self-portraits, I have begun to do a few things that I hadn't done before, such as:
Participating in Half-Nekkid Thursdays,
Learning how to play with texture,
Learning a bit more about my lighting equipment,
Playing with my hair,
Learning how to clone,
and posing with knee socks!
But I still love to do the things I have always loved as well, such as:
Jumping shots,
Cropping my head off (seems to be something I do a lot),
Letting my daughter Jaymi in my portraits,
Reflection shots,
and posing with my feet in the air.
Caught with his hand in the cookie jar!
No, Phil, I'm really not a fibber -- this is the first Raccoon I have EVER seen in this area. Wouldn't you know that the night after I make my comment about your Coon:
www.flickr.com/photos/phils-pixels/4628624826/in/photostr...
that I've never seen one even as road kill around here, one would show up at my feeders.
Granted it was 3:30am and I'm not usually up THAT early. The "Big Guy" (Bear) had already woke me and dogs up at 1:30am and then I couldn't go back to sleep and was messing around on my computer. Dogs start making a ruckus again, so I grab the metal pot and spoon (to chase bear off -- I don't even think of taking any more pictures of him) and peered out the window. I see 2 eyes that are way too close together to be the damn Bear. Sure enough it IS a Raccoon. I just couldn't believe it!!! Now I have to tell the truth, I am MUCH more wary of Coons that might be rabid than I am about the bear. Still, there's NO way, I'm not getting some photographs of this guy!! The flash on my Nikon is like a spotlight, and I was very pleased with some of the following shots, taken in pitch dark -- and no, NOT through the window. I was standing outside on my front door stoop. I made up a little story, since I have been up half the night, already had a whole pot of coffee, and had nothing better to do but play: (Coon talk is in Capital Letters -- my answers, normal type -- thought you might like to know that)
