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.

Exposure: 0.05 sec (1/20)

DSC09410: The Delmar Loop..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

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.

Exposure: 0.013 sec (1/80)

DSC09437: Craft Alliance Series 1.6

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.

Come a little closer!


Come a little closer!, originally uploaded by littlebiddle.

This is an amazing photo. What more can i say other than it is used by the permission of the photographer.


Actually I think this was about as close as they could get to the bridge without getting into trouble!

In my yard...

Taken with my LGVX8600 1.3Megapixel phone.

I took this before i left for work this morning. I love the big splash of yellow that the trees have going on about them. The Sun was just rising and you can see the big contrast from the top to the bottom.I am going to take a better photo of them with my A200 this weekend before they all fall off. I think that all the nice temperate weather is gone for the rest of the year...

Winter is nearly upon us.

Type O Negative - "September Sun"

This is perhaps my second fav song on the Dead Again album.
"September sun glowing golden hair
Now keep in mind son she was never there
October�s rust bisecting black storm clouds
Only the deaf hear my silent shouts

Yet in the dark still he screams your name
Nights living death with witch rhymes insane
Ten years amassed para toda mi vida?
Lost man in time was his name Peter

September sun rotted Flatbush porch
I would have run then had I known the cost
Autumnal rays turned your eyes to stone
Did it give you pleasure to steal my soul?

Leave her alone
I said leave her alone

Me? I know why"

Type O Negative "Profit Of Doom"

" My Soul's On Fire...

Perhaps one of their best albums.

I am the profit of doom

Speak the name of He created thee all to be which should not be spoken
No laws broken

Now life and love the stars above which fall upon thee all that worship the beast
Influence ceased

My soul's on fire

My faith is an amber burning ever working towards a greater reward
Serving my Lord

Built his home upon the rock not of the flock but coming as a shepherd
Guarding his herd

My soul�s on fire!!
