There are basically two types of humans out there: people who reflexively support ICE whenever they shoot someone and people you want in your life

Get well soon! Ease back into that freezer. I don’t know if I could ever move back to western cold New York weather. Though, during Austin’s furnace season I get tempted to move back for summers.

Sorry to hear. I hope you mend quickly and are out and about.

Beautiful autumn weather for my Sunday morning walk around Austin, Texas. Today I present some of what the streets had on offer.

Coolest start to the Sunday morning walk this fall. I forgot to get up a bit earlier due to the time change and missed the full darkness. There is the faintest bit of fog.

Standing at a crosswalk with the sun at my back. My shadow spans the white rectangles of the crosswalk at bottom half of frame. At top half of frame is part of the downtown skyline reflecting morning sunlight through a bit of fog.

The bottom half of the legs of blue jeans that have been cut off rest on the pavement of the street as if the person was walking and the cutoffs just fell off.

A strange polygonal shape of light gray paint in the middle of a gray painted wall. Government’s attempt to 1984 real art.

Cool clean and wet start to my Sunday morning walk around Austin, Texas. I love the early morning when it is quiet and businesses are preparing to open and great the groggy masses.

Working through last week's No Kings rally. Image titled "Outstanding in Austin"

2025/10/18 No Kings. A cutout of a smiling woman wearing a large sunhat and sunglasses, who is holding a large handmade sign. The sign is in three sections. Section 1 at top "I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO SAY THIS!", section 2 in middle "NO KINGS NO Fascism NO Pedos" and bottom section "I Stand with the FROGS" and three green frogs drawn. The background of the image are swaths of color star bursting out from the center. Surrounding the cutout of the woman are hand drawn frogs in the style that were drawn on the sign.

This is an old image I created a few years ago. I have been playing with AI to describe images. The version I have been using is fairly good at 'seeing' the image and getting most details. But the stories it writes are not very good. Some of the elements it comes up with make me laugh.

A composite of a sign with a grackle with neon lighting with the word 'GRACKLE', an airstream trailer with a couple street art overlays, a lit street light and an old yellow pickup truck. The backdrop is a large Rocky Mountain and all the other parts sit atop a green grass lawn.

Tonight was only a 20 minute wind down before bedtime. This is made up of 4 of my images from around Austin, TX all taken with the same camera over the last couple weeks.

An assemblage of 4 of my photos. The background scene is of Palm park playground with the downtown skyline with a bunch of multi-color 8 sided dice falling down in front. There is also a mechanical armadillo in the lower left of frame on the side of the playground. There is lettering from a newspaper over the entire image.

Tonight's 1 hour wind down. I mixed and matched 5 photos I have taken into one new image.

A memory photo composition of 5 images. The main image is of a subway car. A blue ghost cartoon drawing street art with 'STAY SAFE' written across the eyes is positioned on the orange subway car seats.. Another street art sticker with "Who Would Jesus Deport?" is on a wall of the car. A diffuse city view is throughout the image.

A collage of a few images. A background of blue sky, green hills, and a large tree. mid ground has a street scene of 6th street Austin bars like the Flamingo Cantina. The foreground has a boy doing a wheelie on a bicycle on a lawn running in front of the bars. Overlooking the by from behind the buildings is a very large cat looking down.

Beautiful weather to start my Sunday morning walk around Austin, Texas today. The city was a bit quiet but it is starting to pick up as the ACL crowd rises from the party stupor.

Willie Nelson has been yarn bombed with a nice small green knitted color. Large Willie Nelson bronze sculpture in front of the W Hotel / Austin City Limits.

Part of the Austin skyline looking southwest with the demolition of the Austin convention center in the foreground. A person rides by on a scooter in the foreground.

I like to make panoramic photos. Many times I do not have my tripod & wing it hand held. Photoshop has gotten impressively adept over the years at stitching them together. But every once in a while Photoshop goes full Picasso on it. I think I love this result better than the real 6th St.

A surrealistic Picasso-esque version of a panoramic of 'Dirty Sixth Street' in Austin, TX. There are various store fronts, bars, and hotels all connected at odd angles.

If I were making up shit that's not in the Bible, I'd probably go with a combined reverse Rapture/Harrowing of Hell, where Satan drags down all of the evildoers into the Pit, turning Earth itself into a paradise. Ooh, I'd call it the Reapture.

A nice slow and quiet start to my Sunday morning walk around Austin, Texas. It is so much darker this time of year.

A corner view of the entire Juan In A Million restaurant in the morning’s twilight with all the neon lit and no cars yet.

A closeup of the rusting steel of an old vehicle. The old push button chrome handle on the upper left and next to it on the right is the emblem of “Sportvan”

A close up view of the entry to an old home. The right three quarters have a screen door entry flanked by two large windows that are similarly sized to the door. In the left quarter is a large graffiti of a pawn chess piece outlined in black and shaded in green.

Coffee time. A window box looking out over a patio with black cafe tables and red chairs. In the foreground on a wooden shelf is a black camera and a cappuccino with a white and brown latte art in a brown and teal cup and saucer.

Going through my many photos in the queue to edit and found this multiple exposure self portrait from 2022

A multiple exposure. There are three exposures of myself in a round mirror. One is on the left third and another on the right third and the final is a darker version of a closeup of me in the middle. You can see my black Fuji camera in all exposures.
