Small Handful



Here's a few more photos that you may feel free to order. It's all for the holiday party, remember?

We'll be off to Ohio this weekend to visit my brother, so I'll try really hard to take pictures of something there. But it is Ohio, and we already went to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Not sure what else there is to see in Ohio, actually.

Other fun thing about the photos below: Adam actually took a few of them. Have fun trying to figure out which ones.

Thank you all for clicking on the ads and checking them out. The holiday party, if we keep up this pace, should be pretty nice.

Fund raising

New deal here. I'm selling photos from this Web site as 4x6s, 5x7s and 8x10s. Matted and mailed.

Basically, I'm going to post about a hundred random photos on here over the next few days and you can pick and choose which ones you'd like. Additionally, you can tell me if you're interested in a photo that you've already seen here (Hawaii? Philly? Pakistan?)

I'm still working out the finer details or multiple pricing, but individually, it's looking like:

4x6: $10
5x7: $15
8x10: $20

If you order more, you get a discount. Remember that this is for the photo, cut-out mat, backing and shipping via regular US Mail. Or hand delivered if you're local. Not only do they make great decorative pieces for your house, but for those of your loved ones, too. Coworkers? Sure! They'll love them, too.

Remember this is all for a good cause -- the holiday party -- so start choosing!

Why, oh why?

So you're probably wondering why you should click through the ads and make me money. Well, besides the better holiday party, things are also going to get quasi-interactive around here. That's right. If you send me something fun over the e-mail, I'll pass it along to humanity whether you like it or not.

Let's start with this great photo from Adam. Adam managed to rat out an illegal parker at his lot and the tow truck cameth and taketh.



That makes me think of the time when Brandon's car was half-towed at state college. I think he still owes us money for that.

Secondly, there's a rabbit-parody of Jaws, one of my favorite movies. It even has one of the best lines included: "We're gonna need a bigger boat."
