Flying kick into this Top 200 Photo

photo #98 is:

I wanted to capture Dave doing karate for a long time. But he wouldn’t let me go to a practice or anything, so we did some photography in my parents’ yard. I’d love to get him and Kendra in some more neat shots. But I really like this one. (Except for the fact that he’s trying not to laugh)

Another self-portrait for this Top 200 Photo.

photo #99 is:

Just another self-portrait for a 1 a day photo.

Another Otakon photo for today’s Top 200 Photo.

photo #100 is:

I previously mentioned how Ranma ½ got me into anime. At the time I also discovered Bubblegum Crisis (the original OAV) although I never got to finish it because the video rental place didn’t have the entire series. After that, other than borrowing Slayers from a friend in HS, I only ever got into two other series - Cowboy Bebop and Trigun.

Today’s Top 200 Photo.

photo #101 is:

I saw this while walking around an area near Clearwater Beach. Here’s what I wrote on flickr:

Coco Peli is a Mexican legendary character. My fascination with him began when my mom got me a lamp where Coco Peli was the base of the lamp. She said it was free spirited like me, but more importantly it had a denim top and I was really into demin at the time.

photo #102 is:

I came up with this photo while exploring with taking reflective photos where I’m in the shot without having the camera obscuring my face. This one ended up being my favorite and it’s even featured (as of the time of this writing) in the header of this blog.

Back to the National Zoo for this Top 200 Photo.

photo #103 is:

Tai Shan’s birth at the National Zoo attracted lots of people. Many of them became regulars and I got to know a lot of them over a few weeks and months.

Start s off with Towel Day, in memory of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and ends with a bike ride on the BWI trail.

Here’s today’ Top 200 Photo.

photo #104 is:

Of all the children born in the Year of the Pig, I’ve seen Nam the most. He only lives two houses over and, until he was old enough for daycare, Danielle’s mom took care of him every day. This photo is from before he was old enough to be scared of me and my photography. It’s one of my favorite photos in which he is the subject. I think it’s because we always see babies as innocent and he looks so sly in this photo.

Conceptual photo for today’s Top 200 Photos.

photo #105 is:

In October of 2005 I was a on real surrealist bent. This photo is one of the results. I know some of the others will also appear on this list.
