They have a neat little town at the St Louis Zoo. We had bunches of them in Colorado around where we lived.

DSC09407: Street Music...

DSC09407: Street Music..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

While i was out shooting stuff on Saturday on The Loop, i saw this street musician playing. He was leaning on a vacant building so he would not get anyone mad at him.I walked over and dropped some money to him and them get my camera ready.

He was way cool about letting me photograph him and even posed for a few shots. His music sounded good and it was too bad that i did not have time to stay longer to listen to him...

The reflections in the glass are very cool of the passing cars and trucks and of the other side of Delmar BLVD.

Looking and taking the photo from across the street on this intersection in The Loop. It was a very fun afternoon just walking around with my camera and a buddy. He knew the area well, so i let him act as my guide.

This tree was very prominent in the photo that i took of the Tivoli Theater. I like this shot better as the traffic light and tree with part of the theater are in the photo as well.

DSC09422: Music

DSC09422: Music, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

The KLF: I was looking through some CDs at a music store today located in The Loop. The store is called Vintage Vinyl When all of a sudden i ran across The KLF written on a label. I was blown away firstly because i do not buy many discs and secondly because it was The KLF. They have been broken up since 1992 and i have a massive Mp3 archive of their music.

I used a "Back Flash" while taking this photo because the store was not lite well and the photo has great Depth Of Field with The KLF being in sharp focus and other labels out of focus.

DSC09437: Craft Alliance Series 1.6, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

We were walking around The Loop today and doing some urban photography when we walked inside the The Craft Alliance store and took some great photos. They had all of these glass balls hanging in the windows so i decided to get a series of photos of them. I used a "Back Flash" to make them a little brighter and got some great shots of them.

This photo has some really good Depth Of Field as there were so many of them and i love how the buildings are out of focus and the balls on either side of the center are also out of focus.

DSC09138: Ghost 1.4, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

She is always a fun subject to photograph. It is fun to try to get her in the pose that you want and that is a hard thing. Cats have a mind of their own and do not obey very well! She is a very temperamental cat to say the least!

I love this pose because of the way that the light catches her hair as she is sitting on the floor. The long ear shadow on her back is really pointed and distorted because of the angle that the sun is coming through the window.
