Parallel Docking

So you think parallel parking is difficult...

Important Agendas

Aesthetically, perhaps not the best images, but what I can tell you is that they have content like NO OTHER.



This image was taken in St. Thomas while on my vacation. I think the guy in the background (on the left) is responsible for the signs. He was scraping the corners of the street with some tool to clean the accumulated dirt. A little later he was screaming at the top of his lungs about something.



This one tops the other on the gibberish chart.

Wow. Just, wow.

Stolen Shot

I am not sure what type of photography this image would fall into. Street? Landscape? Travel? Street landscape?

I made my way out onto the rocks in order to obtain a good composition for another one of my photos and a couple of folks saw me out on the rocks, so the guy started making his way out too and gave the camera to his lady to take a picture of him with the ocean scenery as a backdrop. A precious vacation memory, I am sure.

I was still on the rocks and liked the idea of getting a picture of him posing for his own photo, but without having the other photographer in the picture. Was this an impromptu forced image?

Whatever it is, I think it is just fun.

Also, the horizon is not slanted; I just caught the curvature of the earth.

St. Maarten

 

St. Maarten was the first destination of the cruise and I got to walking around the streets beyond the shopping district.  I got pretty close in this picture and the featured dog did not stir one bit, so I am not completely convinced of the validity of the bold sign.

I did not like the feel of the island too much, but I believe they have the best deals based on the liquor prices alone.

St. Thomas

I went on a cruise mid-November to the Caribbean and had the most relaxing time of my life. The unfortunate thing is that we were only docked for 4-9 hours at a time, so I could not really explore the destinations, but I did the best I could with the time allotted.

Here are a couple of shots:

Vacation Pictures (tease)

I brought my Olympus OM-1 and 35mm lens on vacation and accidentally overexposed some 400 speed film by two stops.  I am curious to see how well the film takes to such a gross inaccuracy of metering, but am excited to have some film back to scan, regardless of the outcome.  Of course, I will talk about this in some detail, but I needed to write something about it now.

Get ready for a bunch of photo entries!
