Recently, I enjoyed conversation with a friend, and in the course of our conversation, shared that I had some all-metal kitchen tongs which I was using in the preparation of one of my meals.
At the time, It didn't occur to me to share a photograph of the tongs with her, so in due time -which was this evening- I washed dishes, and the tongs were one of the items among those being washed, and thought to photograph them after having don so.
The first images were rather bland, as you might suppose, and were simply of the opened tongs lying on the drying towel. Two, or three images of that boring perspective were about all I could stomach, so I decided to change perspective.
In life, it's good to change one's perspective occasionally, to "see things in a 'different' light," as it were.
And so, my dear friends, and viewers... I present to you, here now...
My Metal Kitchen Tongs
~100 Strangers Project # 14
I met Chris Esguerra sitting in my window seat on American Eagle flight # 4610 from La Guardia to Atlanta early Christmas Eve morning. Usually I book the aisle, but thought that I might want to get a shot of the city right after take-off. Since it was early in the morning I didn't say anything, but he brought it up, "I think I'm in your seat." I laughed and said it really didn't make a difference , but that I might want to try to photograph the city. Well, we both figured that I could probably get a shot from where I was seated. A great guy, he got into the whole thing and as soon as we were off the ground, he started coaching me. "okay, it comes up pretty quick! get close into the window!" I did get a shot, which you can see below, but unfortunately, the plane never flew at an angle where I could get a solid dramatic shot of the cityscape.
So often I end up sitting beside a nervous hand-clutching novice, a pontificating blabbermouth, or a scary silent type. On a recent trip from Warsaw, Poland to New York, I sat beside a pint-sized beer guzzler who insisted on the window seat, climbing over me countless times to head to the bathroom. It was refreshing to have a "normal" travel mate. We had a great conversation while we both felt like talking, and he watched a movie while I felt like sleeping.
We took a quick photo under the fluorescent lighting in the tunnel between the aircraft and the terminal. It took a bit of editing to get it to look natural, as you can see by the copy of the original shot below.
Chris lives in the Hell's Kitchen area of Manhattan where he designs kitchens for his business, Dream Design Group. He was traveling to Miami to be with his family for Christmas.
thank-you Chris for being a part of my 100 strangers project. all the best in 2012!

Having a Sidecar Martini with a friend.
I used the TiltShiftGenerator for the blur, followed with ToonPaint and finally applied the pictures as a multiply layer using Iris Photo Suite. Picture was taken at Mignon in Plano. Great place for Martini's

Are there any places else that are available for advertising in the supermarket?
The FLOOR which is not already used.
Here we convert the street art to a massive advertising base which can be deployed commercially, but still keep its attractiveness.
At present, all the ADs (posters) in supermarket are lack of system design and visual impact. So they are easily to be ignored.
The origin of 3D floor sticker is street pavement. It became famous for its particular 3D illusion. It can be taken photos and it is interesting enough to be shared on internet all around the world. But the pavement’s disadvantage is that it only can show in a short time. It needs to be kept from the stepping and rain. Our 3D sticker is made from waterproof, long duration material, removable adhesive and the ink is eco-friendly, totally safe; because of the high quality of the product that is only created by us, the 3D sticker may apply to more places, such as Mall and Supermarket.

While butterflies have been scarce this year, bees have not, finding an abundance of wildflowers to attract their attention, many of which seem to have consolidated their arrival into a more concentrated period given the brevity of our summer. There is an overlapping of species blooming which I've not noticed before, much to the pleasure of the bees and a wide variety of other insects which enjoy the display as much as we do...actually probably more. I've assembled a goodly collection of "flowers w/insects" shots and should probably assemble a series before they vanish into the oblivion of my archives.
But for now, a few SOOC shots (one in comments) of a couple of buddies enjoying the offerings of what is either a freshly bloomed woodland sunflower (Helianthus divaricatus) or tickseed sunflower (Bidens coronata). I can never tell the difference. But I do know it is one of those flowers that for some reason always photographs well needing no editing...characteristic of all the sunflowers. A photogenic and ego gratifying floral group to be sure. ;-)

day sixteen of the January photo challenge: take a photo, tell a story.
With the snowfall recently, I thought I'd share a tale of my first winter living in the midwest (Omaha, Nebraska) in 2003. I'd lived in Vancouver all my life and the most snow I'd ever seen was in something like 1992, and I certainly wasn't prepared for the daily sub-zero temperatures and biting prairie winds — my winter gear didn't even include a real coat, just a hoodie under my regular leather jacket.
By Christmas, there was already two and a half feet of snow on the ground. The path shoveled from the sidewalk to the building was a trench that came up to my waist. Disused cars resembled sleeping beasts, curled under white blankets for weeks at a time. The roads were plowed regularly, but the parking lot of my apartment was essentially an ice rink. Taking out the trash and getting the mail became adventures. Most dangerous of all were the melting icicles on the awnings of the doorways, which grew to unfathomable lengths and left the front stairs coated in a layer of ice at least two inches thick.
One day, as my partner came home from school, I heard the door slam and he yelled, "I brought you a present!" Curiosity brought me out of my chair and over to the door, where he stood with his hands behind his back. "It's just what you've always wanted — a four foot icicle!" One had dropped from the building earlier that morning, but after taking a photograph and marvelling at its size and beauty, there wasn't much to do with it except let it melt in the bathtub.
This photo was taken at night using an 8-second exposure time, though the light feels to me like very early morning.
