Months of Pictures

A couple of nights ago, I went through my stash of pictures I have taken, but not put up on Flickr.  I hadn't realized I had months and months of that. 

The new sets include:

Nashville Xmas

New Florida Scenes

Kennedy Space Center

Wedding Hoopla
That would be my wedding, coming soon to a reception area near Busch Stadium.

St. Louis City Museum

Multiple Studies of the Arch

And finally, some wedding pictures, from a wedding that may have lost its power, but never lost its spirit.

Wedding Pix

Waters of Our World

So I ahve really become obsessed with Flickr lately.  Great tools, easy to use, and it has a lot of "find something cool" tools.

I found this group today:  The Waters of Our World.  I don't want to post their stuff here, but there's some awful nice images.  Soothing, exciting and just plain beautiful.

Cool Pictures

On a nicer note, the updates I get from Planet Ark provide a lot of interesting content (including links like the one in the "dirty streams" post).  They get a lot of content from Reuters.

Like the picture linked here:  A View of a Bridge Over Nile River During a Heavy Sands Storm in Cairo.  Linked because Reuters prefers you don't re-publish or re-post their content in full.  Seriously, though, that's a cool picture.  Here's a closeup to give you an idea.

More Hollywood

And here's a shot I got by stepping three feet to my left, and turning about 30 degrees.  Picture wherever you can find them!   It's not as visible at this size, but there's a gull floating in the wind in the right-middle of the shot.  And the glow of sun on the beach chair cracks me up.

Hollywood Broadwalk

Here's one of the Hollywood Broadwalk, near Buchanan Street.  I was staying at the Angelfish Inn that week, a place I highly recommend. 

Yes, it's called the "Broadwalk", as in wide; not the "Boardwalk", as in under.  It's the name Hollywood assigns to the whole beach path that has shops and restaurants arrayed along the western side.  I would have actually really liked to live in Hollywood, but the commute would have pushed 45 minutes one way, during rush hour.  (15-20 minutes at other times.)  That was no fun to contemplate.

This picture was easy.  My only plan:  frame it right, and don't fall down.  The only hard part was waking up and getting out there by 7AM or so.

Nature Pix and A1A

I have taking extensive amounts of pictures during my motel hopping phase.  All part of my years-long project to get better at nature photography.  I have been more than decent at a sort-of journalistic style -- using picturer to tell a story, or document a period of time.  The "Jack Taylor, Art Lover" series at moxmas.com is one example of that.  And I'm not bad at portraits, either.  Maybe I'll throw out some examples later on.

I know all this stuff should go on a Flickr account, but one thing at a time.

Here's a shot I took while driving up A1A a few weeks ago.  I sent to friends in NYC, trying to make them jealous while the temp was plunging down to zero for them.
