I thought I was going to DC (via Baltimore, of course… hence the photo) tomorrow, then I wasn’t, then I was, now I’m not sure. It’s nice when things fall into place, but that can often be oh-so-dull.

In contrast to the ‘dark’ post, I thought I’d try and find it’s opposite. Ernie, of course, looking mighty soft and cute. If you’d like to see one of my first attempts at video, check out http://www.flickr.com/photos/ploger/4458496084/ (the background music was purely accidental).

Unlike my previous blog post, I am discovering that I occasionally take these ultra black and white photos with just a hint of expression or information. Given enough time, this growing collection of images could turn into a new series, which might be kinda interesting. Or maybe, because of the rain, I’m not feeling as ‘sunny’ as I was last weekend (although this pic of Erin and Brian does make me smile).

Today I sought out blue skies and sunshine – even got a tiny sunburn on my nose.

Sunny and warm today – winter is fast becoming a distant memory.

Complete with flying tigers.

Coney Island continues it’s disappearing act.

I haven’t picked up my camera for a few days so I’m going to liven up this lull with some lovely ladies from the Shanghai Mermaid party I attended a couple of weeks ago.

Playing with overexposure again – not sure what my attraction is to it. Probably just one of those things that enable me to look at my images in a completely new light.

Hard to believe this was our back deck two weeks ago. And check out how high the snow was stacked on the thin railing. Now there is no trace of snow and temps are flirting with the 60 degree mark. I like snow and all, but I like this warming trend even more.

So it’s a dresser. But it was one night/morning at an old hotel in the mountains of NY before a glorious day of skiing.

Can’t stay away from cute things for too long.

Love this dude from the Shanghai Mermaid party last Saturday.
