Stonehenge

Time for the boys to get back to work. Here's a promo.

The Drach of Night

Fellow RPer gets another treatment.

Want To Irritate Your Mother-In-Law?

Want your in-law on your case? Just spend the weekend shooting her from every angle and in various stages of dress. We have been very fortunate to be the recipient of her ability to bake the best loaf of bread in the world so to have a little fun, I did up this ad for Robin Hood Flour. To her chagrin it's on our desk top as well. Sorry Nan.

Nanny Cam

Nanna is in town this week and took this shot at Jon's T Ball game. The skies open up shortly after this pic was taken.

Glynmill Inn

I do miss Friday nights in my home town. After a few pops at the house it was off to the place where I could settle in for the evening. We could smoke in lounges then and I was a pack a day man. I remember making my way up the six or seven steps to the front door and entering the lobby of the Tudor style inn. To the left was the front desk and the smiles of the busy but friendly staff and due left of that was the large double doors to King Henry's Tudor Lounge. In the winter months, my specs would fog up as I entered causing me to remove them and enter the smoky bar blind. Despite my lack of eye site I could recognize the usual suspects in their usual places. My place was at the end of the bar near the juke box or if I was lucky, the table beside it. It was a good vantage point as you could see all late comers as they arrived. Within a matter of minutes the beer was flowing and the conversations were growing lively. I would treasure a good argument or a funny story and being as we were Newfoundlanders, there was no worries about not being fulfilled. My poison was always Dominion Ale unless it was payday when Bass Ale was my suds du jour. Flo and Bess made absolutely sure that your glass was never empty. They were the best. They were bar keeps that you never forgot to tip or to thank. I hope they're well. The Tudor Lounge holds a very special place in my heart for another reason. It was there in 1988 that I ran into a dear friend who only two years later would become my wife. Pam and I still pop in when we go home but alas all has changed. Flo and Bess are no longer there and the hotel made the grim error of moving the lounge to the lower level where there is no atmosphere what so ever. Such a shame. Anyhow, I aged this photo because it represents a time long past. The place looks as good as it ever did but to me it is now only a memory.

Noah, I Want You To Build An Ark................Right!

Remember the Bill Cosby bit? Found this picture of an "ark" on the web and decided to dress it up a wee bit.

Battle In The Skies

An RP lad posted this amazing picture of a bird in flight and it gave me an idea.

Songs Of Summer

Every year my son and I compile a list of summer songs and burn them to a disc for teacher's presents in June and each year we have to come up with a new cover. This is the first draft for this year's CD.

Just Spice It Up

Sometimes you just need to dress up a photo. Why have someone standing in front of a wall when you can get them out doors where they really want to be?

The Pig Lives!

After a far too long hiatus, the best damn radio station on the internet is back cranking out the tunes you wanna hear. This and Radio Austin is all you're ever going to need. Cheers y'all!

Day To Night

Here's a couple of examples of changing day shots to night. Trick is not to overdo it and to watch where the moon cast shines.

Hurry Hard!!!

There's been a lot of talk lately that Jesus actually walked on ice and not water. This got me to thinkin'...

We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat

The blue sky we added to this photo yesterday gave it a more friendly appearance but what if we went the other way and subjected the tower to a full force gale. And why stop there. What if that gale turned into a flood of mass proportions.

Dress Up A Favorite Photo

Occasionally you'll have a picture that isn't quite up to snuff but you really want it displayed with the lyric of an appropriate song. Here we took a photo of Cabot Tower in St. John's, Newfoundland and gave it a new sky (the blue sky really does give the shot away as a fake as St. John's sees very few days like this) and a text of a Ron Hynes favorite. It now becomes a treasured photo suitable for framing.

Could This Be Mick In 1942?
