Random, Rambling Post.

This is my first week working 10 hour days. It also happens to be one of the most stressful weeks at work. I haven't had time to sleep or look at all of my favorite blogs. I wonder if that's what hell is.....not being able to do those little things that keep you from going insane. I guess it's fitting that I start a psychology class on friday. 

The picture above is Paper Brain. Our friend Jade Harris took some lovely pictures and was kind enough to give all of them to us on a cd the other day. If you live in Portland you should come hang out at a show with us. 

I'm really hoping that the Blazers win a game soon. They built my hopes up when they beat the Celtics, but the last 3 games have just been tragic. It would really make my night if they beat the Pistons. It might even make my week. 

1954

Meet Me at Mikes had a great idea of typing a year into the search bar on flickr and posting any of the interesting pictures that you find. It's probably something you could spend an entire day doing because what isn't interesting about old photographs??

I chose 1954, it was the year my dad was born:

AntyDiluvian took this picture of his brother playing cards with a neighbor girl. I absolutely love that dress and how his pants are rolled up with the chuck taylor-ish shoes on.

Aroid remembers this as a car trip where he and his brothers shot squirrels. I love the colors and the fence in the background...just a really amazing picture.

another family photo from Aroid. This whole scene reminded me of Christmas at my dad's parent's house. The tree, the lamp, the curtains...exactly like theirs.

I love how the baby is totally enjoying it's perilous situation. I can't tell if the lady is coming to the baby's rescue or if her arm is leaning on the wire, but either way she seems to think it's all pretty funny.

This is a shot taken at Coney Island. The disapproving ladies are the dapper gentleman's sisters....they were probably ready to leave after a long day of fun but had to wait for him to finish playing. That's how brothers are.

both of the above pictures are from C-Monster.

Book of Sleep

I  have a penchant for vintage photos and how cute to have a whole collection dedicated to that sweet, innocent state of sleep. via Swissmiss.

kill two birds with one stone

This wi-fi umbrella from The Sharp Edge not only takes pictures, but stores them on flikr so you can watch your photostream as you walk in the rain. via popgadget

hire your own photog-stalker

MethodIzaz is a new style of photography where a photographer that you've never seen before will follow and photograph you while you're out and about. Finally a way for the common person to have paparazzi hiding in the bushes trying to snap candid pics. via swissmiss
