IMG_0231, a photo by Meetzorp on Flickr. This is possibly the most amazing photo I will ever have taken. I lucked into an intimate view of a young red-tailed hawk’s luncheon date with a pigeon.

I took Ruby running in a shipping container wareyard today. She enjoyed splashing through the puddles and searching for rats, and I enjoyed the disorienting scenery. It felt like I was cavorting in a giant’s LEGO village. This looks like a tight fit, but I could easily ride my bicycle through this passageway. It is […]

Facebook. Freakin’ Facebook. It’s a love/hate website, that’s for sure. It’s fun to keep up with your friends, see your old schoolmates’ babies, check out your co-workers Spotify picks, hand out party invites, RSVP to same…it’s a daily ritual that many of us enjoy. Mostly. But Facebook has a habit of inventing new ways to […]

Well, I guess you’d guess by my rarely-changed header image that I like bees. It’s true, I do. Especially the really furry, busy, buzzy, chubby bumble-bees. The fuzzier and bumblier, the better. One of the first really good picture I ever took with my digital camera (please humor me in that it’s “good”) was a […]

Too bad they never handled Chrysler at some interval, or they’d have had the Big 3 covered. This former car dealership building stands on Truman Road. A few years ago, it housed a really cool sign shop: I guess the crap economy put the kibosh to a neon-only specialty sign shop. Too darn stinkin’ bad, […]

So…the rubber penis is gone. It’s actually been gone a few weeks; it disappeared a few days after I photographed it. I shudder to imagine the circumstances of its departure. They can only be at least as, if not grosser than how it got there in the first place. Anyway, my world has not been […]

Seriously not safe for work. This post features content of a dirty, big rubber penis I found alongside of the road. I hope you consider this fair warning.

On Saturday, I found myself among friends, hanging around behind an abandoned industrial building. Some folks were drinking beers; all of us were talking shit. Because that’s what we do. Shoot the bull, drink beer, and hang around debris-strewn alleyways behind abandoned buildings. We’re classy n’ shit. Any old how, I wasn’t drinking beer because […]

Isn’t it nifty?

When I saw these straw-bags (used to minimise silt runoff on construction sites) I thought it looked like a colony of walruses sunning themselves. Like so…
