Pretty in Pink

Oh so Yellow

When I was in grad school, I think I visited every single library in a 50 mile radius of the campus. Many times, there would be a cart in the lobby with old books for a buck or two. I got a handful of these books so sadly marked “Discard.” I absolutely love the patina on this children’s book about ATV’s (All Terrain Vehicles) called On the Sand by E. and R.S. Radlauer (1972). The authors also shot the photos. Here are some of my favorite images - immortalized.

Jumping:

Here’s my niece Olivia jumping on the trampoline in her backyard like a superhero.

And here’s her brother Jack. He’s a good jumper too.

There are more trampoline pics on my flickr.

Free Fall:

By French photographer Denis Darzacq, from a series called La Chute. Makes me say ‘wow’ not ‘ow’. He has a new series called Hyper.

Your Tax Dollars at Work:

From the NASA Image of the Day. They even have a spanking new web site too.
