Every now and then, when I’ve got my camera in hand I like to mix up the typical perspective view. I’ve got a great series of table top shots and some shots I like to take from over my head. This perspective is always fun for me. I like to place the camera on the ground and check out the view from that perspective. It’s kinda like what a cat would see.

chain links
Yesterday, while waiting for my laundry to finish at the local mat, I took a stroll through the hood. Of course, I had my camera with me so I got a few click click clicks in. I passed this deserted parking lot that was roped off with these metal chains. It can get kind of tricky to get a good shot of something so “everyday like” or non-cliche. I’m pretty happy with this perspective of the chain links.
earthworm
*”Earthworms are hermaphrodites: They typically have two pairs of testes, surrounded by 2 pairs of testes sacs. There are 2 or 4 pairs of seminal vesicles which produce, store and release the sperm via the male pores, and ovaries and ovipores in segment 13 that release eggs via female pores on segment 14. However, most also have one or more pairs of spermathecaespermatophores for transfer instead. (depending on the species) that are internal sacs which receive and store sperm from the other worm in copulation. Some species use external spermatophores for transfer instead.”

Yay Fridays! I can so go for one or two of these right about now.
bridges
I drove over the Burnside Bridge here in Portland the other day. I know.. you’re so excited, right?!!? Well, it was the first time that I’ve had to stop on the bridge, because a small barge was passing down the river under the bridge. I was quite bored sitting there…okay well, I did have my camera and got a few clicks in like this one.
But what I was really wanting to listen to was my sister’s sound / audio installation she did in Seattle on the Fremont Bridge. Her project is called, “Bridge Talks Back” and will be available during daytime bridge openings by calling toll free 1-800-761-9941 through April 2010.There’s also a slight chance some of the photos I took at her project opening will be used for the City of Seattle Mayor’s Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs Annual Report. Pretty cool, huh?!!
But really, you should call the number. It’s a cool compilation. Do it now!
spam
I think 375 spam hits since I started this blog on 9/30/2009 is about totally ridiculous, people. Quit it, right now! I ain’t gonna click on your shit either! And, I definitely ain’t gonna eat your spam either!
bench
Okay, o.k. I know I’m on a bit of a photo posting frenzy today, but I can’t help it. It’s a good outlet for me. I really need to get out and have a visit with the sunshine for a few consecutive days. Maybe on a tropical island? Hawaii? Mexico anyone???
I like this bench. It’s wet, slick, shiny, and has a strange bar strapped around the top of it. Maybe I’m just in hog heaven with the Canon?
Is anybody out there?
