today, i hiked around downtown with a friend of mine, and i left my camera on a 30-second automatic exposure interval… in other words, it just shot whatever was in front of me, every 30 seconds.

since we were hiking around, a lot of the images didn’t really look all that compelling, but a couple here and there i could use with a bit of cropping/filtering. here’s one i liked - a couple construction workers take a second to look at a pretty woman walking by…

you never know what a quick google search will teach you about yourself. it seems aytch is making the rounds these days…

• …even, apparently, as your “realtor for life.”

so what have you been up to?

check out this informative article from rolling stone about government contracting in iraq since this war began…

an excerpt:

The deal charged Custer Battles with the responsibility to perform airport ­security for civilian flights. But there were never any civilian flights into Baghdad’s airport during the life of their contract, so the CPA gave them a job managing an airport checkpoint, which they failed miserably. They were also given scads of money to buy expensive X-ray equipment and set up an advanced canine bomb-sniffing system, but they never bought the equipment. As for the dog, Ballard reported, “I eventually saw one dog. The dog did not appear to be a certified, trained dog.” When the dog was brought to the checkpoint, he added, it would lie down and “refuse to sniff the vehicles” — as outstanding a metaphor for U.S. contractor performance in Iraq as has yet been produced.

it’s a long article, but very insightful. check it out.
