The city commute, part one

I realized recently that I love taking pictures while on vacation, but never so much while I'm home. I guess it's a mindset and I've considered photography a leisure activity and I never feel so leisurely while running out the door to go to work, so I decided to change that.

I drive, have the camera literally resting on the opened window and I just shoot having little idea what I'll have until I get home. There are the occasional good fortunes of stopping at a red light with a good frame in front of me, but mostly I've been flying blind.

So, here's what it looks like on my way to work from a few different routes.

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Image
Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle .

"It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand"

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
