Sometimes you spend more time in the airport than on the airplane. Get in line, wait, move, wait, move, wait, move, shoes off, belts off, lap top out of your carry on bag, heaven help you if you have more than 4 oz of hair shampoo, empty your pockets, hang on to your boarding pass, step this way, step that way and no joking about any of this or else you start all over. Wait, move, wait, move, wait, move
This is the security scene at the Denver airport.

At the Skirball Jewish cultural center (Los Angeles) they have a walk through Noah's ark made out of everyday things. The picture here is the dove flying about. This exhibit is great to see the kids dive into all of the hands on displays

It is a sad beginning to 2 weeks in Redondo Beach. I left my camera and all the gear at home.
This image I took in my homemade lightbox. Flowers were a thank you for doggie sitting a friends dog a while back

A friend of ours (Eric) started a community garden in a neighbors yard that was (shall we say) not being used.
It has produced an astounding supply of a wide variety of vegetables. An image of the results is OK but the taste is excellent

Such a long delay between posts..... laptop hick up.
As promised here is a picture Seth (see the previous post) took while enjoying an evening of Jazz.

I met this couple at a jazz club in Cincinnati. He loves photography but did not bring his camera so he was envious that I had mine.
During the next music set I let him use my camera, I will post one of his shots in the next couple of days.

The Bell Event Centre in Cincinnati, Ohio. Its a clock and bell museum along with catering facilities. The Verdin Bell Company is located in this town and hails as one of the worlds largest bell manufacturers.
The bell shadows appear to be musical notes.

I guess these two signs say it all. One way to the cheap side of town.
I wonder if its best to live on W or E Cheapside Street?

Another shot at the abandoned row houses in Cincinnati.
Windows are always an interesting subject. The 'eyes' of a house. In this case the house is blind.

My nephew (and fellow photographer) took me to a place in Cincinnati, Ohio that (at this point) only has a past. Row houses built around 1900 that have been abandoned for about 20 years. Structures that (to me) had no meaning and rows of boarded up row houses.
It was a photographer's dream come true. Thank you, Jason
