Daughter Allegra captured one of my favorite pics ever - even isn't one of hers. So I am making it the subject for Straight Out of the Camera (SOOC). It was taken in Paris in February 2004 on a cold and gray day, nearly devoid of color...except for the French Tricolour flying proudly on thee building to the left. In a sea of gray, the simple red, white and blue stands out very well!

Ruby Tuesday Too is back, and I have found an old ruby scene, perhaps peripheral to the entire scene - but red nonetheless. The time is in the last decade, maybe 2004, the place Main Street Mini-Golf emporium in Hyannis on Cape Cod, the subject myself. I like this place as the old-fashioned putt-putt course was accessible to my then Invacare power wheelchair. Kind of like the an expensive rental of a private golf cart at a nice country club. Thus I could putt away with confidence if not the low score...
Tina is back, and so is her fun meme Pic Story. We post per the weekly theme she kindly provides, with this week is White
This is during a high school trip, Allegra the 10th grade student, mom Patti a chaperone, the place along the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris.The camera date stamp shows 19 Feb 04 at 11:39 (not adjusted from home). As I understand it, Allegra and a friend were allowed to sightsee minus the entire group, and she took a sequence of photos that feel like stop motion along the stylish street. I like the feeling of motion in that one minute - cool. See Toby's meme for more portals of cool...Happy 2013! |
I use a wheelchair to get around, so multi-tasking in my 'wheels', like driving and taking pictures at the same time, often means that neither is done well. Like this view from 2004 where myself, Patti and her newspaper co-workers attended a wedding of a colleague. I was in charge of capturing these four attendees, and I was not able to balance the camera at all...this picture was not cropped, what you see is what I captured, feet and all.
