my little world

..of all the “under the pier” shot’s i got, i liked this one the most.. and it’s not like i planned on taking it, it sorta just happened.. we were just taking a break from walking around in the sun and saw this kid running back and forth so i just waited for him to come back and *snap*..

..i’m not satisfied with this version though, that’s why i have it in mono too.. check it out and tell me how you feel about it.. 😉

Section High Alpha

..that’s a pretty cool name for this maneuver..

Blue Angels aircraft perform the “Section High Alpha”, the slowest maneuver of their show. During the maneuver the two jets slow down to 125 knots (232 km/h) as they pitch the nose of the F/A-18 up to 45 degrees.

..here’s a close-up to see how the pilots are looking at each other eye-to-eye while doing this maneuver..

duude

A dude is an individual, typically male, particularly somebody well dressed or who has never lived outside a big city. The female equivalent, which is used less often, is “dudette.” However, “dude” has evolved to become more unisex to encompass both genders, and this was true even in the 1950s.
The word dude is an American English slang term generally used informally to address or refer to somebody and was once used primarily by adults but this has become a common slang term used in various age groups. (wiki)
Evander Berry Wall, a New York socialite, was dubbed “King of the Dudes.” He is pictured (1888) in the New York American at the time of the “battle of the Dudes“.

king bacchus

..well, today is mardi gras and it doesn’t get more mardi gras than this, Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints QB) in costume (as king bacchus) throwing beads to the rabid crowds.. pretty crappy shot, but what the heck, this is the only decent shot i got.. i’ll be posting some shots here in the following days, if i don’t then, just check it out on my flickr..

..lemme tell you, catching beads ain’t a walk in the park.. we saw a sobbing young girl holding a bloody hanky over her mouth, i guess she was hit by those flying beads.. i managed to catch a few beads too, not intentionally but just to shield the front element of my lens from being smashed by those beads, and boy were they heavy..

Bacchus was organized in 1968 by a group of New Orleanians who wanted to break with Carnival tradition by opening membership to out-of-town visitors and guests. They also wanted to present “the biggest and best parade and most imaginative, animated floats.” They have several signature floats, including King, Queen and Baby Kong and a dinosaur known as “Bacchasaurus.”
Saints quarterback Drew Brees will reign as Bacchus.
Did you know: This organization was one of the first to have celebrity monarchs. (nola.com)

..in shooting street, you may sometimes encounter someone who really doesn’t want to have his/her photo taken.. what do you do when you encounter someone like that? i personally don’t know what to do.. take this one, for instance.. she was just trying to take a snap of the guy’s dog but he went ballistic on her.. tsk3..

..on to the shot, this was taken by wifey on a picnic in the park, there was a mayoral candidate beside us campaigning while lounging under a tree, talking to locals and giving away stuff..
