So we just carved our pumpkins and I grabbed the camera to play around a little bit. Got some cool results! Here they are on their own… Here I added a little light painting with an LED flashlight gelled with a full CTO… Strobe behind the pumpkin, with my Sto-Fen Omni Bounce makes a Spooky…
My luck won’t quit today. Ari wanted carrots for a ‘healthy’ snack, so I went into the fridge and saw that they were all rotting in the bag. So I took them out and decided to steam the good parts for Cambree’s first veggies, so they wouldn’t go to waste. Got them into the pan…
(apologies to Bon Jovi) I ran across an editorial in The Sun the other day from another anti-Wal-Mart individual. Obviously, anti-Wal-Martites are not at all unique, but this one tries to play the preservation card. While Hamburg seems to be split on the issue of the proposed Wal-Mart Supercenter, I stand firm on my belief…
The Aquarama is gone. For the first time in a long time, there was an unobstructed view of the south side of the Cargill grain elevator, as the Aquarama, more recently known as the Marine Star, was no longer docked along side it. It seems that the rumors were true, and that it is headed…
For three years we have been driving our Realtor Jen Weber CRAZY with visiting many pre-owned homes in our area. When that wasn’t working out, we turned to looking for land. After a few failed attempts, we found a perfect lot in Colden, which is now ours!! Of course now that means we are on…

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.
