Default End War: outside time frame

These guys were doing a direct action outside my office two weeks ago on the 5 year anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. I went out on my lunch break and started getting closer and closer with my point and shoot and no one really cared.

Yep, autumn. Mind you, 70F and sunny feels more like summer than autumn, but you won't hear me complaining about it

Yep... Coming into something like that - but, based on the amount of times that a friend or family has emailed me from Australia / New Zealand and gloated about the LOVELY weather, they can find a way to portray ***SPRING*** [get the box and step outside it]

for example... my bass bridge has springs in it

LOL! I do that to my relatives in Michigan where it's usually 20+ degrees cooler and a couple of months behind in the seasons. Is that wrong of me?

Default Assignment: News Photography

After taking shots of political yard signs and representatives milling about in the halls of the state capitol, I decided to go a different route. What our local paper lacks in content is more than made up for by their state of the art facility. Well, state of the art aside from those burnt out bulbs in their sign.

Hey, what bass do you have? I've got a black/black Stingray with a maple neck. I'd take pictures of it, but I've been leaving it at my church lately.

A Metroliner is actually a 3 story machine. The really neat story is the paper roll feeding railroad and the tricycle feed under each press.

Ask them for a tour, and ask to see under the presses. Particulary when rolls change.

But you have a great shot. If you know someone in Boston, they can take a similar shot at the Globe.

Electrical crews work to restore power to a large number of homes after a night of over 170 kph winds.

True story last night the winds exceeded 170 kph/105 mph bringing down trees and removing roofs off houses.
