Some random pictures
One of my New Year's Resolutions that I'm happy to write I'm sticking to is to have a camera with me pretty much all the time. Every day when I make the long journey to my job, I bring my new trusty HP Photosmart R967 with me. As much as I love my Canon EOS 5D, it's not always practical for me to take it everywhere. If all else fails, I always have my Motorola Razr phone, which has a below average digital camera.
It's not like I expect to capture wonderful, perfect images in my every day travels, but that's not the point. I just wanted to have the following situation happen as seldom as possible this year: "I wish I had a camera with me!"
Having said that, I captured a few in the last week or so that I thought I'd share.
I got this one from my car on Super Bowl Sunday, on my way to the store. This was taken on the corner of Broad and Vine Sts. in Philadelphia. I wasn't aware that Marvin Harrison is a native Philadelphian, but he is - he is a graduate of Roman Catholic High School (the school above.)
Regardless of Harrison's pedigree, it's awfully brave for a school to put up a sign like that in Philly. I'm sure more than a few Eagles fans considered knocking out a few windows, at the very least.
Anyway, it's not often you see a prominent sign in Philly that's rooting for a non-home team, so it was worth a shot.
Once I got to Shoprite to do some Super Bowl shopping last Sunday, I parked in front of the car above, and I immediately reached for my camera. Really, it defies description. I don't have the words, other than to say that the stuff on the hood isn't some artsy design, unless you consider dive-bombing birds artsy.
Anyway, I have many more pictures of the serious variety that I will post later in the weekend - including Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and the Super Bowl. I know, I know, I've been promising them for a while, but I just finished up what can only be described as a super crappy week. So, this weekend's catch-up time.

Simply hilarious.
