Big Up....date

Well nothing really new here. Have today off and have a little down time so here are some pictures from the past couple weeks.

I did have a story up here, but I realized it sounded whiny so it is gone. Summary, guy upset I was taking his photo, wouldn't let me explain, he walked away in a huff blah blah blah. Just another Sunday afternoon.

Q: What do Mitt Romney, Gloria Steinem, and Paris Hilton all have in common?

A: They all have great hair.......and for some reason they all managed to find themselves in front of my lens in a 24 hour period. This job really makes me laugh sometimes. I would post photos of each, but really who cares. Here is a random sampling of photos I like.
