Irony

The visual hit me while on a bus leaving NYC with only my iPhone handy.

Co-mingling

Walk This Way

Looking back on the walkway down to one of the many falls.  Old Columbia River Hwy.  July.  2008.

Loner

I never realized, until yesterday, how much I enjoy daffodils.  March.  2010.  Alexandria, VA.

Holy Cow

Old Town Alexandria.  King Street. March.  2010.  The first sign is my favorite.

Lonely Street

My old street back in Washington.  I love the clouds in this shot just after dusk.  Sometime in 2007.

Honeybee Referee

Awnings of a storefront on the main strip in Seaside, Oregon.  July.  2008.

Perched

Back to the Future

Along the main strip in Seaside, Oregon.  July.  2008.

Save the Wall

From "Sollie 17" by Edward and Nancy Kienholz.  One of the many pieces at the Smithsonian's Reynolds Center's "Modern and Contemporary Art" exhibit.  A moving piece, which is described here.  It made me think of my days in a college dorm, though never as dreary a reality as the one depicted by the Keinholz couple.

Quaint

I loved the lighting in this room in the old house my relatives have in Eastern Oregon.  They had several rooms ready and waiting for guests at any time.  The room is peaceful but has a certain character of yesteryear.  It's been a long time since I've seen a rocking chair sitting beside a lonesome window.  Perhaps it's a rural thing.  Perhaps it's a gesture of relaxation from years ago and there only because of the generation from which my relatives came.  Either way, I found it all to be very charming in its simplicity.
Near Wallowa, OR.  September 2008.

Beachfront Ghost Town

Seaside isn't really a ghost town, but when I saw this volleyball all I could think of was the action that was going on here at one time but is not longer.  July.  2008.

Chucks

If I had been consciously aware of the similarity of placement between the two leaves and my feet, I would have chosen to mimic the leaves with my feet.  I'm not sure why I love this photo so much, but I tend to use it often as an identifying avatar/image for things I do online.  It's me without actually identifying myself.

Trapped

Filling up my gas take a few weeks back I was surprised by this fellow when I checked to see my running total.  iPhone.  Winter 2010.
