Eric the Red

This is the house I started out life in. It is located at Lehigh Acres, Florida. There are units available that are more luxurious than this one! When I was born, my dad worked at a local K-Mart as a janitor and there was a hurricane bearing down.

This picture was taken out the window of my car as I drove along Alligator Alley (I-75) [Warning: PDF!] from Fort Lauderdale to Fort Meyers. My parents thought I would get rammed off the road and mugged. Fortunately, traffic was a bit heavy for that. Amazingly, the trip used a little less than a quarter tank of gas. Next time: pictures of the shack I was born in! YAY!!

…needs to spend some time on the beach.

This picture was taken during Spring Break 2006, near Fort Lauderdale.

Also for those who are self-employed: Steve Pavlina has some advice for you!

Ok, ok, so I do have a fetish for this sign………get off my back. I also tried really really hard to get a shot of the Chrysler Building at night without success. Next item on my shopping list: a really small tripod.

I like night photography, but need a tripod to avoid blurred lights like this. This picture was taken from Central Park on December 31, 2005.

A New York parking garage.

Park in New York City for as little as $9.29 per half hour! Sound good? Well, you can belong to the garage from $400 per month and get unlimited half hours. I can’t wait to move in, can you?

After a bit of a break from photography, I offer my two-person audience a picture of Times Square in New York City.

And no, I do not have a *thing* for Chase Bank.

Heres the Chrysler Building in the distance:

Finally, one of Central Park:

I took these pictures with the camera on my LG VX 7000 on a trip to Chicago during Labor Day weekend.

The moral of this stroy: DON’T use a phone cam for long distance shots. Also, the Windy City was not so windy that day. I feel cheated….

The following pictures are from a May cruise to Maine aboard the American Eagle. They were taken with a Sony DSC P52.

Day 1:

The mast, with its life preserver and crew members in the background.

This lighthouse and the breakwater that is is perched upon were finished after the local port went out of service.

The American Eagle has several small dinghys. This one was the largest.
