My ass can be seen from space
Stephanie and I were talking and she pointed out that Google had added the "street view" feature for the city of Indianapolis; this lets you look at city streets as though you're standing on them, and you can do a panoramic view of the houses rather than just and aerial view. That's a pretty big deal; they haven't done more...
Photos I want to capture this holiday season
There are a couple of photos I'd like to take this year that I've missed in past holiday seasons. The first is of a nativity scene at a church somewhere on the north side of Indianapolis. I've driven past several years in a row, and noted that the way the scene is set, the three wise men are leading their...

Our Wedding Locations
You may or may not know this already, but Stephanie and I are getting married on May 31, 2008. Last week we visited our planned locations to take photos and reserve them. We're getting married in Great Oak Commons Park in our neighborhood, Old Northside, about a block away from our house. It's a pretty little park owned by our...
Photography
When it comes to my own photography, I'm having a lot of mixed emotions lately. I'm clearly not an artistic photographer by any stretch. I'm very much a snapshot photographer; which shows, doesn't it? http://www.flickr.com/photos/electrasteph http://www.commonplacebook.com/photos/big_things/ A great deal of the pictures I take are out a car window, which doesn't lend itself to composition. And I shoot everything in...

Big Things Photos - Back up and Running
My "Big Things" photo galleries are back up and running, finally, after some coding goofiness. In going through all the new photos, I realized I have hundreds of new ones to put online; I'm further behind on this project than I thought. But I have much easier ways to get them online, so that's good. I'll point new things as...

Our Library, mostly squared away now, and organized. I'm so glad; we can sit and read in front of the fire. Ideally, we want to replace the two chairs with a more comfortable loveseat.

Team Indiana marching onto the field at the Opening Ceremonies of GGVII. See all my pictures of the Gay Games Opening Ceremonies, and the pictures Stephanie took from on the field, also.

Mini-Derby Cars
My dad made me three of these kick-ass cool cars when I was in elementary school, as part of the YMCA Indian Princesses Mini Derby race. They're carved out of a block of wood and then painted. The idea was to race them down a track, and prizes would be awarded for the winners, and for best design. Of...
Weekend Update
Stephanie and I saw King Kong with Dan and Doug, Josh, and David and Garrett on the Terrace at the IMA. It was great fun; the sound was much better than in the past, and I love seeing movies with Dan and Doug; I haven't done that much recently, and I miss it. I spent a few minutes in the...

weekend update
It wasn't the best weekend I've ever had. My sister's going back to England to live, and I had to say goodbye to her Saturday. I'm happy for her that's she's going back, because she really likes it there, but I'll miss her. On Sunday, I went to Kokomo and Peru Indiana to photograph big things, which was cool, but...

Big Things Photos
Giant horses, enormous cows, men that tower over the skyline... some of them are permanent fiberglass structures, some temporary inflatables, almost all of them are advertisements for a business. They're cool, and I take pictures of them. Where Are They? So far, I've covered Indianapolis with the help of family, friends and helpful strangers who've sent me information through e-mail....
