2nd South looking west

I dunno…when I say “downtown self storage” it’s my polite way of tellin’ somebody to shove it up their ass.

But that’s just dainty me…

look at all the purty colors…..

Bucky, as is so often the case, you said what we all were thinking. (Actually, that’s hardly ever the case. Usually we’re all WTF?)

is this morning or evening? tell me

Susie, sometimes my brain patterns imitate those of a normal human.
Most of the time, though, they dance to their own house mix of latin jazz and dirty garage rock. Even I say WTF to my thoughts all the time…

It reminds me of that line in the Elizabeth Bishop poem “Twelfth Morning” that goes “Is perspective dozing?” I think it’s because the buildings are so flat and black, silhoutted against the sky; you can TELL there’s some fancy perspective going on, but at the same time, it’s almost muffled by the darkness of the shape of the building.

Uh, I’m going to stop playing mediocre-art-critic-crossed-with-earnest-English-major now. I just liked the fact that the line jumped into my head when I saw this.

Heather must have slept in this morning if I managed to get up, make coffee, wait for the girl to get off the computer and still manage to be first.
I thought the comments were closed until I saw the comment box.

Glad to see they are not closed.

and I agree…looks polaroidish (is that word?)

Bucky and Susie: I now have two new things to add to my dilect:
“Downtown self storage and undercarriage” LMAO!!!

I love that hint of lavendar in the clouds. subtle.

Beautiful sky!!

I like the ever so cryptic “downtown self storage”.

For some reason the sky makes me think of the summer. Can’t wait.

That’d make a great desktop background…

i love your photos. i’m thinking if only i had a D70, i would automatically become a better photographer.

and then i remember, “oh yeah. it takes talent, too.”

blasted talent.

I didn’t know a self-storage building could look so pretty. I want to eat those cotton candy clouds.

I’m on my way out to take pictures of our Bookmobile.

Is it just me, or does the picture make anyone think of their toilet? You know, Crane == bathroom fixtures? Could be related to the downtown self storage bit, I guess.

I went downtown, last night.

Oh, yeah yeah yeah!

The Bookmobile! Woe to those who didn’t experience the Bookmobile. For painfully shy girls such as myself, it was a gift from God!

love the sky in the west. love it.

it’s what i miss most about arizona.

well, that and easy college girls.

Woot! How beautiful is that picture? Great colours.

Jimbo, that’s what makes you Mighty.

OK, tell me if it’s poor etiquette to ask, but….

What software do people use to fix up/manipulate, etc, etc, their pictures once they’re on the computer?

I checked out Adobe Photoshop yesterday and the one I was looking at was $650CDN. Is this what I should be looking at or is this way more than I need?

Once again, if this is not the place to ask, just let me know and I’ll let it go!!

I love Crane papers…call me snooty, but there’s nothing like some smooth, perfect Crane stationery for writing private lil’ notes of sincerity

SNOOTY!

Leafgirl. I have Photo Impact. It’s easy to use and IMHO, just as good as photoshop. But eveyrone that is a photoshop person says, “NUH-UH!” so I must be wrong. I have had PI for about 2 years and I love it. I use it to crop and lighten. Shaun uses it to turn my mother into pope idol though. It works for lots of stuff.
