A parade of vintage vehicles preceded the Memorial Day parade in Brunswick yesterday. I know nothing about cars. I can barely remember the make and model of our car when I take it for an oil change… I think it’s green. Anyroad, I wanted them to be a background element lending atmosphere to the shot rather than being centre stage.

Someone had a birthday… I took all the lovely messages from DrSita’s facebook page and fed them into Wordle and put them over this here diptych of Atticus doing his thing. Here’s the result… Click here for the massive version.

There was an art collective in Oaxaca stencilling (Banksy-style) creations all over the town. We managed to get to the official opening of a gallery exhibit- Disociales. I’m fairly sure this is by the same folks- it was in a little boutique with “no photography allowed” signs. Made to be broken, etc…

In other news, I’ve made a few tweaks to this site, a prize if you can spot them… nothing major but you might like to try out the Random Image Slideshow (beta)

There was an impromptu shadow puppetry display whilst on Sunday’s Maine Photography meet-up. I missed a shot of “Nixon meets a Duck”, but I liked this one… It’s the textures I think.

It’s probably only if you’re visiting from Maine right now, but I just wanted to point out that part of the diabolical contract I signed to put advertising on these pages states I don’t get any say on which are shown. So if you’re seeing ill-informed, self-righteous, hateful, homophobic anti gay marriage propaganda I can only apologise. Hopefully the sickening measure will be defeated and Maine gay couples will continue to enjoy a modicum of equality in some areas of their lives. Vote No on 1.

Our luchador money box was full so I emptied it and couldn’t resist a photo or three while my cheese on toast toasted.

I think I’ve got enough photos to get through this week… but let’s start with the minimalism to your left and get more maximal as the week plods by, what do you reckon?

Also, from now on, if you’re viewing this on the actual website rather than via email/RSS there’ll be a link to Flickr at the bottom of each picture just in case you’re into that kind of thing.

This photo’s from November 2nd or thereabouts. I’ve not had a chance to go out and take new pictures in the last few days. Things have suddenly got very busy. I shall try and keep this blog going again but I’m going to take the weekend off. Hopefully very soon I’ll be trying to fit pictures of Seattle into the carefully made categories of this here phlog.

Also watch out for the about pages which now feature ads for Duaflex cameras… Have a great weekend, I’ll post again on Monday.

Legend has it that 80 years or so ago a punter couldn’t pay his bar tab so he left his bike there promising to come back the next day with the cash. He never returned and so his dusty bike now surveys all in the La Fuente Cantina in the centre of Guadalajara. It’s now their logo too.

Mop. Moppity mop.
