This is an old snapshot I found at the swap meet: All it says on the back is "summer 1948". I am thinking of doing a drawing of it, and just using that scrawled note as the title of the drawing, Summer 1948, but it feels like it needs cropping to improve the composition. I've tried...

New pics. These are a month old, but I forgot to upload them. They are from Sept 29. That was the first night it got really cold and I drove to the Poconos to set up shop, so while the sky was very clear and very dark, it was also very windy. First is another shot at the Andromeda Galaxy...

its been on there for months, waiting to be alphabetized, i feel so left out :( * throws middle finger up*

I was in the country where it was dark and the sky was clear and beautiful, so I aimed my Canon Powershot A85 (a great camera, but not as good as a digital SLR) towards the sky and did a 15 second exposure just to see if it would see the Milky Way (because my eyes could a bit.) The picture...

What does this gesture mean? I always thought it was a "rock/er" gesture, I do not think a president would use it, but you never know I guess. I was thinking maybe 2, as in his second term, but I don't know. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/050120/ids_photos_ts/r1352513220.jpg

For my grade 11 physics class I need to take a picture of something and then explain the physics behind it all. I was wondering if any of you had some interesting ideas.

Just caught this on CNN. Get over to http://www.georgewbush.com/ before they take it down. Take a look at the ‘whatever it takes’ photo.
