So I’m borrowing my coworker’s Canon EF-S 10-22mm lens for the weekend and I couldn’t even wait until I got home to use it, so I heading over to Isle View Park during lunch. Wide angle lens + glorious sky = awesome.
Mr. BuffaloGeek has been having a horrible bit of trouble with Joe Cecconi’s Chrysler trying to get a second key which was never given to him when he purchased the car. Ironically, I was reading his post on my Treo in the waiting area of West Herr Subaru, where in addition to having the WRX…
After two nights of not much sleep, this was the scene in on our couch this afternoon. I, of course, did not have the luxury of napping, as I’m now sitting in a conference call with Microsoft on their Office technology roadmap. Photo notes: While I’m always partial to B&W, I liked this desaturated version….
I almost spit out my WPOP when I saw Jim Cramer break out the term BANANA on Mad Money last night. So I grabbed my camera, snaped some shots (I’m not geeky enough to have hacked my Tivo… yet) and sent the photos to BuffaloGeek because I consider him responsible for popularizing the term BANANA…

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.

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.
