No missing those pants!
This was shot for the Assignment: Click! Photo for this week. The topic is "People on the Move" and I selected this photo to represent that topic. The bright pink pants in motion really drew my eye.

For flickr group roulette (and HNF) and inappropriate tags and Sassy Underpants Friday
Okay, I've seen these "in the art gallery" pics about a million times on flickr, so it's gotta be a cliché, right?
But, I've never done one myself, and I liked how relaxed everybody was in this shot, especially the guy in the pink pants doing his leg stretches. And yes, they were really pink pants. :-)
Happy Cliché Saturday

This is one of approx 250 photos that I decided were not so bad that I had to delete them and recover every wasted binary bit of storage on my computer disk ... but also not good enough to warrant uploading to Flickr as a "public" photo.
Since Flickr now provides so much storage to us picture-crazed photographers, I've decided to upload all of these "random pix" as restricted "friends and family" photos so that most of the world doesn't have to suffer through them ...
I've cropped and edited these photos, but have not gone to the additional trouble of geo-tagging them ... sorry about that.

In the spring of 2014, we came to Paris for a week of relaxed vacationing, mostly to wander around and see some old familiar places. It was a “return” trip for both of us, though in my case I think it’s probably been more than 15 years since I was even here on a business trip.
Business trips to any city don’t really count as a “visit” -- since they basically involve flying into a busy airport at night, taking a taxi to a generic business-traveler’s hotel (a Hilton in Paris looks just like a Hilton in Cairo), and then spending several days working in the hotel (if the purpose of the trip was a seminar or computer conference), or at a client’s office (also “generic” in most cases — you can’t even tell what floor you’re on when you get off the elevator, because every floor of “open office” layouts is the same). The trip usually ends in the late afternoon or evening of the final day, with a mad dash back to the airport to catch the last plane home to NYC. Thus, a business trip to Paris is almost indistinguishable from a business trip to Omaha. Or Albany. Or Tokyo.
But I did make a few “personal” visits to Paris in the 1970s and 1980s, so I looked forward to having the chance to walk through some familiar places along the Left Bank. I’m not so interested in museums, monuments, cathedrals, or other “official” tourist spots (but yes, I have been to the Eiffel Tower, just as I’ve been to the Empire State Building in NYC), so you won’t see any photos of those places in this Flickr set.
As a photographer, I now concentrate mostly on people and street scenes. The details of the location don’t matter much to me, though I do try to geotag my photos whenever I can. But for the most part, what you’ll see here are scenes of people and local things in Paris that made me smile as I walked around …
I believe the future is only the past again, entered through another gate.

The Uyghurs are a very welcoming Muslim Turkic ethnic group living in Eastern and Central Asia. About 7,2 millions of them live in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region at the western extremity of China. Though the Uyghur identity remains fragmented, Uyghur activists like Rebiya Kadeer mainly try to garner international support for the "rights and interests of the Uyghurs", including the right to demonstrate, although the Chinese government has accused her of orchestrating the deadly July 2009 Urumqi riots. Six Uyghur men were sentenced to death after the riots. Uighurs are classified as a National Minority rather than an indigenous group and thus have no special rights to the land under the law. As a result of Han immigration and government policies, Uighur freedoms of religion and of movement are curtailed. Tensions between Uyghurs and Han have resulted in several instances of violence and ethnic clashes.

After a year-long hiatus due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, Special Olympics Michigan began hosting in-person sporting events this weekend. Athletes competed in snowshoeing and Nordic skiing in both Grand Rapids and Detroit. Healthy Athlete events provided health and hearing screening.
These shots are from the event in Grand Rapids, hosted at the new Special Olympics Michigan Unified Sports & Inclusion Center.
This is the other album cover for Voices. I was not aware of this until I picked this up at a record fest event. If you never heard the Bird & the Bee cover album, give it a listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ySNaIZqucc
