Puddle Phone Photo

I wanted to share this photo just because I think it looks sort of poetic. Not that I know anything about poetry. This is from Crocker Park, a development that had the potential to be cool but is just kinda lame and trendy instead. You can click on this one for a larger view.

Freight Elevator Photos

A professor's retirement party yesterday evening was held at the Lit in an old building in downtown Cleveland. Matt and I got to ride in a freakin' sweet old freight elevator (operated by a cool looking middle aged hippie) to get to the party. Here are a couple photos:

This one is looking up from the second floor but it actually looks deeper (higher) because there was more light.This is on the way back down from the first floor. You can't make as much out but I like the composition so I thought I'd share it anyway.I'm going to try to start up my "drawings of the day" again this week, we'll see how that goes. Maybe call it "drawings of the occasional" instead. Most will be new work but I'll keep throwing in some finished stuff from my portfolio and teen stuff from my old sketchbooks when it seems fitting (aka when I'm feeling too lazy to draw something new).

I realized I haven't posted a phone picture in a while so here's one I found amusing for, oh, so many reasons.This is from YSU campus, where I'm taking a non-fiction class. For those who can't read the fine print the sign says: "Only The Rock May Be Painted. DO NOT Paint Adjacent Surfaces."

I Robot

Here's a picture I took on the way to Jackson last weekend (or so). I took the picture because the clouds looked so cool, it's kind of hard to see, but they looked solid, like pyramids.My art listing blog has hit a slight hitch because google shut it down. Apparently they think I'm a robot. Fan-freakin-tastic. I don't feel too bad since apparently they also confused the coyote lady for a robot... I think there's something a little off with their algorithms. I'm not even planning to host it on the blogger site, and it's not even listed at the moment since I'm just playing with templates to get something like what I want. I hope they eventually conclude that I'm not a robot because I spent four freaking days getting the html the way I want it. Hey blogger... I'm not a ROBOT!

Remember my post from a little while ago about words in real estate?

So, when I go to sell this place, think I should mention the view of beautiful landscaping?

This is what I had for dinner last night.I chose this as today's picture because I wanted to make you all jealous. In retrospect the photo didn't turn out nearly so delicious looking as the actual meal but believe me, it was good. Matt does most of the cooking and he's always (since I've known him) been a good cook, but I swear he gets better every day. This was Greek potatoes from our Healthy Cooking for Two book, asparagus with garlic and lemon juice, and galic stuffed bison filet with caramelized shallots. I'm a lucky woman.

Found this old phone photo of Matt sitting among the boxes shortly after move-in in July.It looks much better here now. Or at least less like we just moved in. Ok, mostly it just looks like we're slobs now instead of having just moved and I'm not sure that's better, but we're finally starting to make progress. I can see whole chunks of the carpet now!

This is so getting made into a lolcat.

The plow leaves it's mark on the temporary landscape.

Unfortunately this picture doesn't quite capture what it's like looking out the window here. I'm in a half basement apartment and it's like looking out the mouth of a cave. Good thing we don't have to go anywhere today.

Here's another of the same tree in the daylight. The ice shows up a bit light but it looked so cool in the lamplight I couldn't resist trying to get the image last night.Shame my car's in the shot. It kinda wrecks the composition. I gotta say though, considering how crappy this phone-camera is, for once it managed to do a nice job focusing on the part I wanted it to.
