Balls!

I know hipstamatic gets overused. Oh well, it's a fun app. Here's a little something from a lab mini-golf trip we took to celebrate a new job for a labmate. I played horribly. Also, I know the best way to start a "down period" on a blog is probably not by adding another post, but I've made peace with that.

Slow and steady

So, I've been pretty good about blogging lately, but it's going to slow down over the next few weeks into a more manageable pattern. Hopefully I'll have some more great pics for you all, and maybe even some writing, but most of my time will be spent writing my dissertation and applying for jobs and basically trying to become more of an adult. Here's to hoping that I succeed!

Opening Night

Irene passed us by and I even managed to make it out to the opening night of the US Open. Unfortunately, I think that last night might be the most I get to watch of it, due to this little thing called a dissertation that I'm writing...

Here's to Calm Skies

When I was a kid, my grandpa taught me how to play horseshoes. It's the simplest of games, but amazingly addictive. This pic was taken last year in Rhode Island, where I'm headed today to wait out Irene. Here's to hoping that we all make it out safe and sound.

Just about all I saw of Cinque Terre

(Too Late to) Rally Fries

It's baseball season and my team is so far out of competition that it no longer matters. In those cases, you just have to sit back and enjoy the benefits of an evening at the park. In my case, I go for the garlic fries.

Blackbird

Hey, it's planes again! Big surprise, I know. This time it's an SR-71 that's currently housed at the Udvar-Hazy center just outside of Washington, D.C. If you go, make sure to take the tour, it's worth it. Also, there's a space shuttle there, which is about as amazing as it gets.

This one goes out to Darren, who is a big fan of butt shots.

Don't Tell Mom...

Most people reading this blog know Jenna. You can see some more shots I've taken of her on her website (the head shots, mostly). This was taken while jumping on the bed at a rental house. I don't think she does this at home.

When I saw this sign on a roof in Florence, the Transformers fan in me had to take a picture. I guess those are the associations you make when you're a nerd that doesn't drink. (PS - it doesn't look so crunchy if you enlarge it)

Quonochontaug

Taken a few years back in Rhode Island. Love that place.

Wonder Wheel

I recently found out that my grandfather lived in NYC in 1939 and saw some of his snapshots of Coney Island. I figured I'd add to the family collection.

I sure hope they got there

I sometimes don't realize how fun a picture can be until years later.
