I should have avoided that bottle labeled `Drink Me.` What goes on in a Sunday School room on a Tuesday night. Taken from my upstairs window overlooking a neighbor`s tree. The boy in the plastic bubblewrap. Suddenly that name will never be the same to me.

No, the Steinway grand piano is not mine. Yes, the tattered curtain is mine. This is how much I have left after buying the camera. Nature placed the drops there, not me. Proud to be purple.

These were just about to be given to a flute player. Once I get the glass case open, I`ll shoot this again -- in fact, I may make a habit of it. The Flight into Egypt, part of an enormous nativity scene at the U.D. library The Wedding at Cana (note the worried wine steward in the foreground). The Passion of the Christ (note the man offering a crown and a sword instead of a cross).

I`ve gotten more bug bites since buying my camera (there was a spider on my shirt after I shot this). Part of a large Buddhist mandala, sculpted in colored sand. There`s always plenty of hooch at Dayton Public Radio. Summer Fashions for 1850, from Volume 1 of Harper`s Magazine. This part of a piano is called the fallboard (sounds painful).

Makes me think of a group of soccer players defending a free kick. In case you were getting tired of roses. The ladybug and I rehearsed this shot over and over. Everybody in Dayton who owns a camera has taken this shot, so now it`s my turn. You better believe I had a firm grip on the camera taking this one.

So THAT`S what the shutter speed button is for! I had a great shot of a duck preening in the water, but deleted it by mistake (so you get a leaf instead). `Okay - now how do I get down?` This picture comes out much better during the day (plus, I`m not so frightened taking it). When shooting bees, it`s best to just focus the camera and wait for one to enter the frame.

Memorial Day, 2004. This more than makes up for the duck I deleted yesterday. The Dayton skyline. Baseball is really big in Dayton. The end of the party.
