A still life photo makes it for today’s Top 200 photos entry.

Danielle likes to create decorations that add to the ambiance of the house. This involves taking elements from different places and creating something that’s her own. Here she’s taken candles from a bunch of different stores and combined them with seashells we found on a trip to Florida. Some of her other creations might appear later as well.

No #177 because it was already covered.

John Cleese is a comedic genius. I think that history will eventually give him and his Monty Python collaborators a place equivalent to Charlie Chaplin. They helped transform not only British comedy, but American comedy. Many in the US, most notably the creators of South Park, were inspired by this strange brand of humor and created a special blend of American and British humor.

I’m back with another Top 200 Photo entry.

For a while I was doing yoga at our local gym at work. It was quite a revelation. Media usually portrays it as a girly exercise that’s just a bunch of weird stretching poses. Yoga actually requires quite a bit of strength - especially in the “core” muscles. A lot of the poses left me feeling as tired as a weight training workout. I enjoyed it a lot and I only stopped going because my schedule changed and made it hard for me to attend. I’d definitely try it again if I could.

No #180 because that photo was already covered and it ended up moving up the rankings before I could get to #180.

photo #179 is:

From the date, I must have been at my parents’ house for my dad’s birthday. Anyway, as I’ve mentioned before, whenever I get a little bored I start taking candid photos. So I ended up with this good one of Dave working on a puzzle. This photo actually ended up inspiring a flickr friend of mine to do a painting of the photo.

Today’s entry in the Top 200 photos.

Christmas at my parents’ house where my little sister opens up one of her presents.

This one’s a little more on the uninteresting side.

When my cousin got married I somehow got my wife to let me rent this lens. While I was at it, I decided to review it. The photo above is part of the review. The lens was great and really helped me to get the best photos I was capable of taking.

This is Sandy, a jackass penguin.  They are originally from South Africa, but her parents are at the Baltimore Zoo.  Click on the desktop you want and then right-click and select “set as desktop background”.  If you don’t have that option, save-as to your computer and then set it manually.

Back to NYC in this installment of the Top 200 Photos.

photo #183 is:

In March 2002 I went to NYC for the second time in my life.  It was exciting for so many reasons.  I was meeting my girlfriend’s parents for the first time and I was going to one of the biggest cities in the world.  I’d been to NYC once before as part of a college trip up the east coast, but we only got to spend one day there.

See it online here.  This month it’s mostly from a trip to NYC.

photo #184:

This photo was taken when I was taking one photo a day, but before I’d heard of the 365 project. So sometimes I’d be the subject and sometimes it would be squirrels, inanimate objects, or insects. I was going for the look and feel of something out of a movie.
