PESO - Saturday Afternoon Treat

This weekend was very warm for early March, with temps in the high teens Celsius (maybe into the 50s F?). The streets were teeming and this ice cream shop on Roncesvalles Avenue in Toronto was doing a brisk business, including this lady: http://knarfinthecity.blogspot.ca/2016/03/saturday-afternoo

Re: PESO - Cordage

I bet it was 35 or 40 years ago for me, too. I gave it up after Hermie went on and on about whether a whale is a fish or a mammal (duh!) and IIRC he concluded that it's a fish. My young mind was about to explode (since I KNEW the answer, and "fish" wasn't it!) so I put the book down and never pick

That's beautifully rendered, and quite beautiful in a "semi-abstract" sort of way. cheers, frank On Thu, Aug 20, 2015 at 7:48 PM, Mark C wrote: > http://www.markcassino.com/b2evolution/index.php/cordage > > This was really an exercise in trying to get a good development time to give > some very

PESO - Come Blow your Horn

I'm not sure how much I like this one. It's so close. This guy (and the drummer) ~were~ quite good. First attracted my ear with strains of Dizzy Gillespie's ~A Night in Tunisia~, and he continued to play lots of Miles and mid-fifties late bebop stuff. BUT, the light was horribly harsh, and he

I liked it so much I commented twice. Either that or I forgot I commented the first time. LOL cheers, frank On Sun, Aug 23, 2015 at 10:14 AM, Knarf wrote: > Incredible detail! > > Cheers, > > frank > > On 22 August, 2015 5:34:15 PM EDT, paul stenquist > wrote: >>Compared to shooting Chickad

PESO - Signing

A legacy of the recent PanAm games here is that a giant "TORONTO" sign that had been at the side of City Hall's Nathan Philips Square has now been moved front-and-centre, directly in front of the reflecting pool. Everyone seems to love it; sitting in one of the Os for a photograph seems to be "the

It ~is~ the perfect pint! My fave: Guinness - in a perfectly large glass. Nice shot, Dan! cheers, frank On Fri, Aug 21, 2015 at 3:52 PM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > A pub in Midtown Manhattan: > http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=18074056&size=md > K-5 II S, DA 18-135 zoom > Comments are i

PESO - Minimalist Grebe

I think this could have worked in the PUG Minimalist Gallery last month: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2015/08/minimalist-grebe.html But alas, I only took last weekend. BTW, I took my camera with me and actually snapped a few yesterday. They all sucked real hard. No PUG photo again this mont

PESO - Bumblebee and Thistle

Yeah, I know, it sounds like an English pub. Couldn't resist: http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.ca/2015/08/bumblebee-and-thistle.html BTW those more-or-less parallel white lines on the upper right are a spider web, which the bee just ploughed right through. Takes more than a web to get between a bum

Yes! Except instead of a pepper looking like a torso, it's an actual torso. LOL I was thinking Weston, too. cheers, frank On Tue, Aug 11, 2015 at 9:34 AM, ann sanfedele wrote: > Edward Westonish... nice light > > ann > > On 8/8/2015 11:20 AM, Bruce Walker wrote: >> >> http://off-axis.brucemwa
