March 2011 - 12 of 12

Definitely had a fun day... mostly helping my friend out so she could help one of hers. Even though I was in much warmer climes for 3 weeks last month, I think I can use another light day of work before the season really starts and when I'll be putting in long days.

It's official... I'm a gear slut. Just picked up another Nikon (D7000) and a another Nikon lens (70-200mm f2.8 VRII). I've been looking at buying either one or the other for a couple of months, but they had an offer of $400 off the lens when you buy the camera. How could I say no to that? Maybe I should follow my own advise and remember "It's the Indian, not the arrows." Well, maybe it's just a little bit in the arrows.

Credit as always goes to Chad Darnell for starting and maintaining the 12 of 12.




8:12am - Philadelphia, PA

Scout just waking from her cat nap.





8:13am - Philadelphia, PA

Lucky wants a little rub and scratch too.





















1:56pm - Philadelphia, PA

Went and picked up my friend Carrie, so she could loan her car to her friend Obi. She had a business appointment in the Northern Liberties section of the city. Here's a little local graffiti and poster art I shot while waiting for her to finish.



2:45pm - Philadelphia, PA

She took me to a hot burger spot "Philly PYT" as a reward. Here's my first of two beers I had.




















2:48pm - Philadelphia, PA

Everyone seems to be cashing in on Charlie's mania. If you ask me they need to put nuts on it. That man is certifiable.














2:53pm - Philadelphia, PA

Carrie's expression is one of frustration. She's telling me to stop taking her picture here. She, like many others, I think really like it, but falsely protest. She probably thinks I'm a bit obsessed with taking pictures, but I don't think it compares to her shoe collection.... 300+ pairs of shoes and boots. The waitress commented on how much she liked her boots ...that made her day and probably added a bit to the tip ...lol


3:29pm - Philadelphia, PA

Beer number two and the last one of the day.





















3:40pm - Philadelphia, PA

I told you she really doesn't mind me taking her picture. She made this one her new FB profile picture.


4:49pm - Philadelphia, PA

After a quick stop to pick up a printer for Carrie and the State Store for some wine (that's where you by bottles of alcohol in PA), we made another quick stop on Broad street. Don't really care for this depiction of Old Blue Eyes, but I do admire the immensity of the project. Done by Diane Keller, assisted by K. Pannepacker and M. Ainuddin.














6:13pm - Philadelphia, PA

Here's one of several shots of Tequila I took today. (This is as close as I got to drinking hard liquor today.)




11:37pm - Philadelphia, PA

Carrie had a little wine party. This is her neighbor, Maurice with Tequila.








11:54pm - Philadelphia, PA

Party is winding down as the day comes to an end as well. Here we have from left to right: Delores, Obi, JD, and Carrie.


That's all for this month. See you in April.
