October Theme Day: Lines

For today's theme, how about a little twist, yah?

Lines of scrimmage are the focus today, as technically, they are lines.


The first one's from last weekend's beatdown of O'Fallon High School, which for you local readers was also featured on CCIN. (I was in alot of the shots, by the way.)





And here's a special daily double, this one from the Alton game a few weeks back.

I love the almost rosy quality to the image, stemming from the early evening time of the shot and the blur of red fans in the background.

Red Rose

Well technically it's in Alton, a short drive from E'ville, but this piece is still worth posting.


Looks VERY fresh, can't have been on its sidewalk for very long.

Tomorrow, it's the Theme of the Month for all Daily Photo Blogs, LINES.

rally for St. Jude

There really aren't many causes better than the one championed by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

So far, Edwardsville High has raised over $50,000 in the past six months for Danny Thomas' legacy, which is quite impressive.

The rally against childhood cancer last Monday will hopefully raise another $50,000, if all goes well.

Bravo.

Tomorrow will hopefully bring a return to regular posting, if all goes well.

weird week

Sorry about the missing day yesterday, I was very busy.

And I will be for the next week.

So make do.


Half a second earlier, and there would be two cheerleaders in this picture, but so it goes.

red and blue

Saw these cans laying out a few days ago behind Kriege Hardware, near downtown.



The store throws back to the 50's, where everyone knew everyone and you could pop in for a second or end up chatting all day.

Oddly enough, there was no graffiti around the cans.'


Not sure what i'll hit up tomorrow, so check in to see.


Peace, Love, and Photogs,

influencing photographers: Ansel Adams

Well, I thought that today I would mix up the blog a bit, and introduce a new Sunday series on photographers that influenced the way I pick up a camera.

First off is probably the biggest influence, Mr. Ansel Adams.

*applause*





For as long as I can remember, there have been A.A. prints hanging throughout my house. They used to mesmerize me as a child, just the scale of grandness left me spellbound.

Here's to you, Ansel.




Cheers.

Here it is: everyone's favorite ice cream stand (it's really nothing more than a huge, glorified, worshiped stand), Annies.

Halfway decent picture from the cell phone, ya?
