I'm making up for the lack of recent posting, and I'm on a Shure SM-55 kick. I wish I had never gotten rid of the one I had.

I love Flickr, if I haven't said that before.

I love jazz.
I also love Shure SM-55 microphones, like the one in the picture.
What else here? The angle, the tones, the LOOK of the subject is just great. Maybe one day I can strike a cool pose like that.

Photo Monday- U.S.S. Enterprise

An A-6 Intruder getting in position for takeoff on board the U.S.S. Enterprise, CVN-65. There is nothing extraordinary about the shot, but I love the color texture- very brown, almost reminiscent of WWII era photos- but not so brown as to be antique. A very nice mixture of modern imagery with a retro look and feel.

Photo Monday- yellow baby

Two pictures to make up for the lateness:

First, my little girl sitting in the La-z-boy:


Secondly, my friend Jason is going through his Ireland trip photos on his blog, Typing With Light.
Today he featured a very yellow building, and it is in fact deliciously yellow:

Photo Monday- water displacement

My friend Nathan VO captured this while his brother threw a rock into the Ocoee River. I am fascinated by water pics, so it was an instant Photo Monday pick.

Photo Monday- Bangor Abbey, Ireland 2002

For this week I'm self-indulging. This is a shot I took in Ireland in a place called Bangor in Northern Ireland. The light at the top of the spire is not Photoshopped- I somehow managed to capture that naturally! While the church is a bit dark, I think it's still a great shot. Taken with a Canon Rebel 2000, using some Kodak Supra 400 film.

I'm a sucker for old stuff. Old buildings, old cars (the abandoned, rusted kind), and old junk. It's probably why I prefer London over NYC- London has this old feel that makes it timeless, while NYC is still relatively new.

Photo Monday- frozen tidal wave

Whenever National Geographic or the Discovery Channel has documentaries about surfers or hurricanes, I get fixated on the huge tidal waves that are breathtaking to watch. But then I found some FROZEN tidal waves, and they are just as impressive, if not more so. You can see more here, but these 2 seem to capture the idea best.

Your programming schedule

I'm going to try and be a little thematic around here, mainly to have some order to my OCD brain. Since I am not doing this for "fortune and glory" (Indiana Jones, anyone?), I don't want to limit what I write about, but for my faithful 3 readers out there some continuity may make things more understanding. The randomness will still appear from time to time, but I'm going to try to include at least one entry a week in these topics, although the days are not set in stone:

• Photo Monday- interesting, funny, pretty pictures I find on the internet tubes.

• Emerging Wednesday- Since Wednesday nights are usually associated with church here in the South, I'll talk, muse, or link to something about post-church issues/questions/topics.

• Nerdy Thursday- something from the Nerdery; computers, movies, games, gadgets, comics, who knows? It will be nerdy.

The other neat thing about this is that the labeling feature will allow to search for posts that only fall under these topics, so some of my blogging threads will stay continuous. I will also be going back to old posts and apply the new labels just to add some depth to the categories.
