Mike's "Drop"

I had never tried this with my Nikon flash.  Did it a couple of years ago with my old Vivitar and had to try all sorts of things.
Anyway.  This is my drip or drop or droplet.  You can tell its mine, because if you look really close, I and the camera are inside the bubble!  You will also notice the standard Millard calcium buildup complete with its iron oxide.

Cory's Drop

I've been collecting a list of things to do to the Beetle's engine for a while now (replace the clutch, replace some seals, replace the thermostat, and others), and I finally decided to take the plunge and drop the engine out of it a couple of weeks ago.  Here's where the project currently sits: the engine on an engine stand, the car on jack stands, and me slowly making progress toward getting it all fixed up.

Next week: "Silent"

"Drop" is due tomorrow.

Mike's "Christmas"

What says Christmas like a 12 foot tall poinsettia tree?

Just another left over shot from my visit to the gardens last week.

We still have a ten day shooting rule, right?

Ryan's "Christmas"

I've returned from exile!

I'm pretty sure I used this house a few years ago, but here we go again:

Mike's "Chase"

I spent the late afternoon chasing various trains around the gift shop at Lauritzen Gardens.The had an open house today, and brought the trains indoors. I like trains.

Cory's Chase

Look out Baby Emily!  Mommy's chasing you and she's about to get you!

Next week: "Christmas"

"Chase" is due tomorrow.

Also, I must not have saved the poll for "Fold" at the beginning of the week. I just put a new one - it will run for a week.

Cory's Fold

If you fold a dollar bill just right, George Washington turns into a mushroom!

Sorry, I was in San Diego all last week for LISA '12 and didn't have a chance to take an actual good picture.

Fred's "Fold"

Christmas cards are folded, and almost ready to be sent out.

Next week: "Chase"

"Fold" is due tomorrow.

Cory's Bad Idea

Lis has a tall sewing table in our back room, and I have a tall computer desk to go with it.  A few weeks ago I built a tall drawing desk for Maddy too, but she has been sharing Lis's tall chair when she wants to sit at it.  Last week she came up with a bad idea to solve the sharing problem.

Mike's "Bad Idea"

It's a bad idea for me to be posting this without my wife's permission.
It's also a bad idea to play ball with the dogs in the house on fairly new carpet, so I win!

Next week: "Fold"

"Bad Idea" is due tomorrow.

Fred's "Good Idea"

While visiting my nieces last week, they did some painting.  But to keep the paint off their clothes, we wrapped them in garbage bags.  It worked great, and Camille here even had a little tail as a result.

Mike's "Good Idea"

If you own a bar in Omaha, it might be a good idea if you give your patrons some place comfortable to smoke!
Depending on the part of town you are in, you might also want to restrict the bathrooms to patrons only.  (the sign on the door)

Next week: "Bad Idea"

... to follow the "Good Idea"s that are due tomorrow.

I may be back in the game tomorrow. I took down my website a few weeks ago because the host jacked the price up a bit more than I was willing to pay... I may just go with flickr for now.
