Frankfurt Germany



Women's restroom, Izmailovsky Park, Moscow



Moscow Sunrise, as seen from my hotel room in the Cosmos Hotel, located on Mira Prospekt. Note the smog.



Being rude, crass americans in front of the Kremlin. I'm on bottom.



Pretty much how I remember Moscow.



Petropavlovskaya, Saint Petersburg. I am currently in posession of that stone.



On the frozen Neva, Saint Petersburg.



Doesn't really dispell the gloom, eh? Banks of the Neva.



The view from my room in the Hotel Okhtinskaya, Saint Petersburg, on April 14, 2006, the two year anniversary of my getting sober. Which is definitely another story. Suffice to say... view got a little blurry.

Unfortunately, most of my travel pics were taken pre-digital and I don't have a scanner.  So, here are a couple more from Monaco.






Oh, Lord, please let me be as sanctimonious and self-righteous as those around me, so that I may fit in.

No tolerance?  You gotta love those far-right parties in Europe.   rolleyes  That restroom looks like a great place for a rapist to hang out after dark.  Scary.

Dannyboy,
I am definately on your Grand Prix picture !
I was sitting on the second tribune from the right from your
view, you must have been on the tall tribune facing west right after the tunnel.
Don't look for my face, I have  been wearing a read Ferrari cap like everyone else.
Great times...
(After trolling for years on thr and aps I would have never thought to be taken on picture here, it is a small world, I guess)

This is a portrait I did for Childrens Hospital in MKE. The man was a patient there when he was a child.

Just something. I've been blessed with a steady hand; I can get long exposure shots like that and the one below (which is a scan and didn't scan quite right) without much jitter at all.



That, IIRC, was a 1/4 second exposure, natural light, Udvar-Hedy (sp?) aero museum with my ancient Nikkormat FTN. The print looks worlds better than this overcompressed 22k POS and some day I'll spring to have the negatives professionally scanned, or spring for a neg scanner.

I wish! The soon to be wife and I took a flight over the coast in central Oregon a few months ago while on vacation. It was awesome and well worth the money.

It's one of my favorite pics.

Not taken by me, taken of me, but the photo was staged (stopped, rode back up, took the pic)

Your horse?

The longer I looked at that scene the more I enjoyed it. If that is your spread I'm jealous. Us suburbanites are deprived of the country and the city!

Here's the uncropped version, taken with the Leica and the wide angle (35mm)lense. Kodak 200 film. The Bluejay was with the long lense (135mm) but digitally enlarged and cropped. That's why it appears a bit grainy.

Hello All! New to the forum and figured that posting a few pics would be a good way to break the ice.
These were taken from a recent trip to Vegas. Camera was a Kodak EasyShare CX7430.

This road runner took the time to pose for me while begging for treats at a roadside overlooking Lake Mead on the way to Boulder Dam.


At the same roadside park were these tiny chipmunks also working the tourists for handouts. I tossed a piece of apple among them and they separated into two groups and the alpha males of each band squared off into the miniature boxing match for the rights to the apple. Westside Story Chipmunk style!  laugh


An evening view from my room at the Alladin overlooking the Bellagio and it's grand fountain show.


The 3.5 billion dollar Wynn Hotel and Resort right before it opened.


Wow and check that phone number.  sad
