Great pics Erin! Kind of tickle my mind they do! Esp. the anticipation the hydro pic creates.

Erin, my favorites were the bucket photo, because it looks like it could be a huge homebrew operation, and the self evident "To Telescope" photo. It was a good lunch.

Banana French Chew: Why?

Thanks for dropping by and commenting, ShanB.

John, I was at one of those "brew it yourself" places and started snooping around with my cam. I thought the buckets looked like a weird discovery in a sci-fi horror film. Guess not, though, since the beer turned out great.

Twinks: no one knows, my inquisitive one. No one knows.

If I had to guess, I would say the photographer had a ball with the shoot!

I love the puzzle and the open drawers!

I love taking random pictures things. Unfortunately, my fiance usually walks off and leaves me while I'm doing so.

Now, to me, this is what real photography is all about. No offense to anyone, but those people who spend hours photoshopping and "processing" and trying to get one little thing in focus with the background just the right amount of blurry....I feel like THEY have lost their focus sometimes. Just take a freaking goddam picture! Learn how to look at things and snap it! Don't start taking pictures and think...oh, I can fix it later in photoshop.

Sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine.

You, Erin, do it the right way...in my opinion. You shoot what you see. It's the real deal. You look at the picture you want to take and take the actual picture. I love that!

WV: redota

Mark, you're right. These pix span a few years and represent so many fun events.

Ashton, on one hand, my poor kid gets so impatient with me. On the other, she loves going to all these weird places.

DDP, Thanks. You make me feel better about my woeful skills. And 'tis true, I do not have photoshop. The most I ever do is crop or straighten.

That said, my photo posts take longer to produce than they should.

I love the carnival breakdown pic even though it's shown too small. You can almost smell the diesel fumes edging out the waft from the popcorn cart. Damn.

Oh to live on, Sugar Mountain

You're leaving there too soon...

Broadview Heights, MR and MAN, I need to buy that song! Haven't heard it in who knows how long.

I spy a lil' brewing going on. That's taking it to the extremes, and I want in on it. Mmmm.
