I love living in the city. (not about the song by Fear)

Today I was reminded why I love living in the city.
As I was on my way home from an early morning photo shoot I was stopped at a red light. I looked across the street and saw a scrap collector pushing his shopping cart. He was wearing dirty, old pants, and an old Brewers shirt that I'm guessing was once white.
While I was sitting at the light I watched him. He parked his cart in the shade of a large building then started doing jumping jacks. After he finished his set of jumping jacks he reached in his shopping cart and pulled out what looked like a railroad tie, about six feet long. He laid on the ground next to it, then slowly started to bench press his railroad tie.
As I drove off, I looked in my rear view mirror and saw him start a set of push ups...
Only in the city.

Road trip and meltdown

Okay, okay, I haven't posted anything in over a month, but for good reasons.

I hit the road and went down to Winston-Salem, N.C. for the Art O Mat 10 year Anniversary Swap meet. It was a blast! I'd like to send a big congratulations to Clark, Julie his wife, Carol and everyone else who put the Art O Mat Swap meet together. I'm looking forward to the 15 year anniversary.

AND... Two weeks ago I came home one night find that one of my computers was making the oddest sound. Instead of worrying about it, I did what most people would do; I went to bed, hoping the computer would fix itself over night. No such luck. I drove to the new Apple store...5 times!!! To make a very long and annoying story short, after two hard drives, two logic boards, and one new processor, I have a new computer. Apple was great about everything and offered me a new computer.

Happy Birthday!

Today is my dad's 76th Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!
Love Corey & Maxine

Dana & Collin

I'm working on another batch of prints for Art-O-Mat. With it, I'm adding one new photo to the collection (see photo attached with this entry).

Another new component with this round of Art-O-Mat pieces is a surprise...literally. One of the boxes will contain a book of all seven photos in the Art-O-Mat collection. Who will the lucky person be? Hopefully they will add an entry to the blog to share their surprise with us.

Happy Anniversary

Today is our 1 year anniversary. It feels like the big
day was just a week or two ago. We still talk about
the honeymoon like we are just getting over jetlag.
It's still funny to say I'm married. Happy anniversary
Maxine I love you.
