I’m not quite sure why this is a Top 200 Photo

photo #62 is:

I think the flickr description sums it up best:

While putting some lotion on Danielle’s back, it looked to me like the way they prepare cakes at nice restaurants. I hadn’t purposely tried to do this, so I *had* to photograph it!

Again, Photojojo brings my most “interesting” photos from a year ago.  All of these from the tiki party.

Another surreal Top 200 Photo

It took forever to get the Photoshopping just right for it to look this good. In the end, lighting kinda messes up the effect, but I think it’s my most meticulous surreal photo.

Today’s Top 200 Photo might melt your popsicle!

In a very strange role reversal, I was the only one out of myself, Danielle, Dina, Daniel, Marlene, Brian, Ho, and Lauren who knew this girl was dressed as Katy Perry from her “California Girls” music video. Usually I don’t know jack about pop culture. I’d seen the video on youtube because it was the explanation behind someone’s flickr photo idea.

Here’s my latest photojojo!

Another self-portrait in today’s Top 200 Photo

photo #65 is:

Another entry in my 365 Projec t. This time I was using my wide angle lens to play with perspective effects.

Cincinnati again for this Top 200 Photo.

photo #66 is:

This it not the oldest Synagogue in the USA, but it’s one of the oldest. I found it during a walk around Cincinnati during a trip P&G sent us on to see corporate headquarters.

Philly once again for this Top 200 Photo

photo #67 is:

This is from the Anberlin concert I’ve mentioned a few times here. This was my third photo to be published somewhere. In this case it was WNYC the NPR affiliate up there. That was really awesome and really made my day.

Here’s another wedding photo in this Top 200 Photo

photo #68 is:

This is from the same wedding I discussed back in Top 200 Photo #194.

We are back in DC for this Top 200 Photo

I don’t remember if he’s messing up while doing a jump or coming off the ledge. I know this might sound racist or something, but it’s more a case of being ignorant - until I came to the Maryland/DC area, I never knew there was a skateboarding African American sub-culture. I lived in Miami and in Portland, OR. Both places were pretty devoid of African Americans. Sure, there were people of African descent in Miami, but most of them tended to be Latin American - and that’s a VERY different culture from Africans who’ve been here for generations. And in Oregon, there just wasn’t a strong presence. In fact, as we lost our tans from not being out in the sun 365 days of the year like in Florida, Dave, who was like 6 years old, said, “I know why there aren’t any black people in Oregon! They all lost their tans!”
