  • Supermoon

    Supermoon, originally uploaded by Ezra S F. This is straight out of my point-n-click camera. Another reason I do not play much with my 6+ year old dSLR. (Tempted to go get another one 1/500s.) dSLR version (cropped) www.flickr.com/photos/sneezypb/2348191039/

  • I added a new page, Teeshirts, to this site. It joins my other pages: Reading, About Me, and Quotes to Make You Think. It documents my teeshirt collection from sites like Thinkgeek, Woot, and Threadless.

  • William Shakespeare’s bithplace and home in Stratford-Upon-Avon. (Tourist trap) I took this in March 2002 when I was in England. That was a fantastic trip where we got to see lots of interesting places.
