I got a new point and shoot digital camera! Whoo!
My roommates and I are going to be starting a photo a day project of our respective lives. Hurray! Many horrible and wonderful photos are on the way! Whoo! I dont think I am doing a theme but snapshots of my life instead. Maybe that is a theme. Whatever. Enjoy a self portrait...

High impact pictures . . . you take your artistic sensibility with you everywhere you go, don't you?
And the eyes on "before the party" . . . there's alot going on behind those eyes . . . an "old soul" maybe . . .
I look forward to seeing where your camera takes you.
Just for fun, a few more pages of "Halloween for Pete's Sake":
(4) As if the basement wasn't bad enough, there were THE STAIRS!
They creaked and groaned and they were the kind of stairs with openings between each step. Dark, cob-webby openings just right for a monster or a mummy to reach through and grab Petey's ankle. (Pic of Petey’s gym shoe on a step with sinister eyes in the dark opening).
(5) Somehow, Petey AND his ankles made it to the basement, all dark and dank and full of shadows. There, at least 3 miles across the basement floor stood the closet door, behind which Petey knew there were two things, one he wanted, and one he most definitely did not!
(6) What he wanted was his cheese costume. As long as Petey could remember, he had always wanted to dress as cheese for Halloween. His "wedge of cheddar" costume from second grade had always been his favorite. But this year, Mom had worked for weeks to put together a Swiss cheese masterpiece, holes and all. You may be wondering why Petey dressed up as cheese? Don't ask. It may have something to do with his father. (Inset picture of Petey’s Dad cheering crazily with a cheese-head hat and Packers jersey on)
(7) The other thing in the closet? Petey knew what it was. He was certain. In all his years he had only peeked in that closet one single solitary time, and he'd promised himself he would never look in again. But now, Mom had gone and put his costume in that closet even though there were at least a “gajillion” other places to put it.
(8) Petey knew, for a fact, that behind that door, guarding his costume and hungrily awaiting his arrival was the biggest, hairiest, scariest spider Petey (or anyone else for that matter) had ever seen! Petey shivered and his goose-bumps had goose-bumps as he crossed the basement and approached the door!
(9) Peter Paul McManus worked up his courage, reached out a quivering hand, and closed his eyes tight as he cautiously pulled the closet door open. The hinges squealed loudly (of course) and Petey awaited his doom. But, nothing happened. So as his knees knocked and his palms sweated, Petey opened his eyes ever so slowly. And sure enough, there it was, big and ugly as ever, a huge, long-legged spider at least twice as big as Pete himself, hovering up near the dark ceiling. “Aaaaaagghhhh!”, Petey screamed.
Ps. Don’t worry, it’s not really a spider. It’s a furnace vent and duct work . . . don’t want anyone to pass out or anything ;0)
good stuff man...I should get moving on my end....
