Random Flickr Photo of The Day

Thanksgiving, possibly my favorite holiday. Food,football and Black Friday all form to make it one fantastical weekend. I enjoy eating food as much as I like photographing them, and this particular one was our dessert selections for that night. To the left was a caramel apple cheesecake a friend of mine made for me. It was quite delectable, and is one of the best cheesecakes i’ve had. To the right, pecan pie my mother made. with the right amount of sweetness, it made for a great companion with coffee. In essense this was the double team of dessert deliciousness.

Random Flickr Photo of the Day

Another shot from 2009, I had a lot of time then, as the company I worked for cut back our hours so that everyone can stay employed, and not have anyone get laid off, so to make good use of that extra found free day, I did some photography. I should honestly find a way to do this again, even if it’s a few shots a day. I do tend to get rusty, and looking at my shot list this year, it’s severely down from my usual 10k or shots a year.

Anyway, this shot was from a fine spring day in Central Park, NYC, it was quite gloomy, but I still somehow managed to squeeze off a few shots. This particular frame is a weeping willow, somewhere in the park. I did some processing fun with Lightroom, and managed to produce this.

In addition to my random Flickr Photos, I will start posting my shot with the most hits of the day.

Today’s shot is the lovely Jessica Nigri interviewing a fellow cos-playing as Super Saiyajin 3 Son Gokou of Dragon Ball Z.
