Photography: And We Think We Have It Tough Now!

February 28, 2007

This is a continuation of the series of photos I took while at the George Eastman House. Hopefully you’re not sick of it yet!
I love this You Press The Button. . . display which shows and describes what a 19th century photographer had to go through:

Here’s a close up of the writing so you [...]

George Eastman House – The Orchids

February 27, 2007

There are orchids in various locations at the George Eastman House. The first orchid I came across was this beauty in the dining room. I love the little hairs from the leaves:

The next orchid I came across was in the hallway along the conservatory.

It is in front a mirror, so I had to play [...]

George Eastman House – The Discovery Room

February 26, 2007

In one of the rooms on the second floor of the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography & Film is the discovery room where kids of all sizes and ages can play with different cameras and things. Nobody was in there for a while, so I took the opportunity to play and photograph. [...]

George Eastman House – Int’l Museum of Photography & Film

February 25, 2007

Yesterday I took my hide down to the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography & Film. I really wanted to see the forced spring bulbs in the conservatory, but ended up with several other surprises, too. I had quite forgotten how big and beautiful and interesting the place is. I have [...]

More Spring Flowers

February 23, 2007

Please don’t get me wrong, my brain hasn’t stopped working – I’m very busy working on various projects and thinking all of the time – I just need something new to happen to blog about because I’m bored with blogging about the snow, etc. So here’s some more spring flowers for you until something [...]

My Brain is on a Blogging Vacation

February 22, 2007

Seriously, my brain isn’t thinking about my blog at all, and it’s usually working overtime all day long looking for things to blog about. It’s something I can’t make it do. If it needs a vacation, I can’t force it to write. So I’ll leave you with a photo I took at [...]

The Moon

February 21, 2007

After all I did today all I only took time out to take a pic of the moon that was taunting me on the way home. And this pic isn’t very good and I’m too tired from the day to figure out why right now.

But I did have a great day!  Hope you did, [...]

Five Things, Plus a Few More

February 19, 2007

I saw this on Laurie’s Don’t MAKE Me Get My Flying Monkeys and Mary’s View. The thing is to list at least five things that most people don’t know about me. I was thinking about this while doing the treadmill this morning. Some people probably know this stuff if they’ve followed my blog for a [...]

Warner Castle

February 17, 2007

I ended up going to Warner Castle, present home of the Rochester Civic Garden Center. Built in 1854, Warner Castle was designed by Horatio Gates Warner to resemble the ancestral castle of Clan Douglas which he saw on a trip to Scotland.

The entrance hallway was very bright. It has two portraits, one each [...]

Forced End to My Strike

February 16, 2007

Okay, I was forced to end the strike. After going out and doing stuff today, I came home to “drip, drip, drip.” WTF. “Drip, drip, drip.” Oh crap. Water was dripping in via the sliding glass door molding. Don’t ask. I don’t know. I AM going to write [...]
