Back from Michigan
ByDerekAmanda and I returned from a weekend trip to Michigan for my cousin’s wedding (congrats again, Jen!). The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was a great time, with some excellent, personal flourishes. My favorite was having the entire wait staff enter to “Be Our Guest” carrying their silver platters to begin serving dinner. The…

Derek’s Law: No home project will take less than two trips to the store
ByDerekI’ve attempted two “minor” homeowner projects in the last couple of weeks that should have been breezes. The first – replace the nasty stove hood that was here when we bought the house, had no filter, and which I had repeatedly super glued the light knob back on to. The second, add adjustable wire shelving…

A different view of the housing “crisis”
ByDerekHere’s a unique way of looking at housing costs data. Take the average housing prices in the U.S. since 1890, adjust for inflation, then plot it on a rollercoaster. Pay particular attention to 1997 onward. via Consumerism Commentary

From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
