still

Good God.

I still do.

laundry

I don't have a washer & drier at home, so I go to the laundry mat. I don't really care for the hot place, but there's one treat. The one thing I love about laundry mats are the little 1-3 year olds running around the mother or father (or both! like tonight). It never fails that when one is crying, bawling, & looking around, the little one sees me, makes eye contact, and I make a funny smile. Instantly, quiet. No more baby crying. The little one has my attention. I don't have to go over to it and make hand gestures, nor do I talk to them. Sometimes the parents notice and thinks it cute, nod, smile at the child, probably thankful that the baby is quiet. All I do afterwards is look their way from time to time, smile, wink, wave, and the baby starts smiling, making funny faces, waving back. :)

It always puts the cherry on top of my ice cream sundae.

Sailing Sunset

This video uses photos taken nearly every ten seconds of a sunset on Lake Hefner while sailboats criss-cross the frame. I like this one better than my first attempt. :)

Lakeside

This is my first time lapse photography video. I stood for about 2 hours snapping pictures nearly every ten seconds of sunset on Lake Hefner and kite surfers in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on June 8, 2010. I'll post the second one, of sailboats, in a few minutes.

memorial weekend festivals

What a weekend! Saturday I worked at the Chuck Wagon Gathering & Children's Cowboy Festival for a few hours but still managed to snap quite a few pictures.  I also stopped by there on Sunday for the food and more picture-taking.  Here's a few I like best:










On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday I spent time down at the Paseo Art Festival taking pictures of the live music, enjoying the art, drinking lots of water, walking until my feet became sore, and hoping that I didn't get sunburned.  I took a total of 845 pictures at the festival, but not all of those are worth uploading online or even keeping on a CD. I'll post a few of the pictures over the week with their respective band links.
