Gated Living
Had a buddy, back in the old Austin days, living in a “Gated Community.” Some details have echoed in my horoscopes. Which is what made this odd image even more amusing, word play in the title, and then, a slight sag to the image’s frame, hardware, software, who knows? I didn’t do it. Gated Living. [...]
Pricing and Price Points
All about “Pricing and Price Points?” Still cheaper than a burrito? Yes. Pictures and Justice: The snapshot from the from seat of a hybrid, headed south towards the beach, just doesn’t do it justice. The scene is 35 mph winds, tough weather blowing in, and the fields, prepared for summer crops, dust billowing in the [...]
Big Red and Barbacoa
Never realized, not on a cognitive level, not everyone knows what Big Red is, apparently a localized construct. Being a regional person, I never thought that this was an item, a commodity, a regular grocery thing, I never thought this wasn’t available, like, worldwide. Like, Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper. To me, its presence is, like, [...]
Failure is an option
It is Failed iPhone Art. I’m not worried or concerned, as I tried. One of the central tenets of the side-project is to have a minimal amount of tweaking images. On the phone, I tend to use just one app, with a single set of filters and frames. Not always the same, and I’m willing [...]
Cowboy Portraiture
It’s a cowboy, probably a real one, guessing, from the clues that aren’t obvious in the shaky, cell phone image. Downtown San Antonio, couple of weeks back. I was shod in sandals and shorts, and that was a furtive image as the cowboy — the rodeo was in town — was looking at an image [...]
Tito’s and Icons
Walking passed the place, the other afternoon, I unlimbered my phone and caught a quick image. The name of the restaurant is “Tito’s” and it’s in the old Alamo St. Market building. Tito’s Icon and images The image fro the other afternoon is here, with obvious image manipulation done on the phone itself. No big [...]
iPhone App Suggestion
iPhone App Suggestion I’ve toyed qith several weather apps. Two are favorite. The first is the built in weather app on the iPhone. Plain and simple. Good. Not always the most accurate but close enough for most uses. Then there’s a new one: Haze. I’ve only just installed it recently, but it’s so simple. Which [...]
More Bexar County Line
Please use other door and Candy’s. The please use other door sign is a staple. Originally, I was going to use it as SkyFriday.com image, but URLs and misfortune collided. Candy’s is an odd place — I’ve never eaten there. Looks good enough, though. Omnia Explorate, Meliore Retinete Aperture: ƒ/4.5 Camera: KODAK EASYSHARE C315 DIGITAL [...]
Yellow Rose
The real story? About the Yellow Rose of Texas? Shrouded in myth, song, and fable? Made this image even more curious. Emily Morgan, that’s one name given to the historical woman. Weather and women, two very powerful forces in life and in history. Don’t confuse the two.
