Thanksgiving moments




After Saturday's Civil War game in Corvallis I got a chance to drop in on friends just outside town. Kelsey kept hiding her face and when she did it in front of all the family pictures I thought of how we all, or at least most people, don't like either the act of having our photo taken or the fact we have a perceived "flaw" in how we look. As children we adore the camera, at least that's my experience having shot so many assignments in elementary schools. But it changes a bit as we start to see how people value or not value our looks. Or maybe I am just reading too much into it and I am just annoying her with the camera...

KEEP OUT! This means you!



Why people insist on going places they are really not supposed to is kinda mind boggling. Especially if the road leads to a lake containing YOUR DRINKING WATER! The locks are for the many different agancies who need access to the road that leads to a lake. If your key matches one of the locks, you can open the wire blocking the road. The sign and its lock were shot at using, AND I GUESSHERE, .22 magnum rounds and a deer rifle caliber weapon.. Why someone wants to blast the lock when you can walk AROUND the gate, is beyond me...

Wings over Roseburg


Driving back from a football game I saw this guy wearing these wings and holding a pink umbrella. I pulled over and got out, they couple started laughing after I told them who I was. the caption explains:
Wearing pink butterfly wings. Troy Jarvis, of Winston, Ore., watches as his girlfriend cleans out her car at a car wash on Winchester Street in Roseburg Friday night Oct. 3, 2006. He was wearing all the things she pulled from her car that needed to be held on to as she vacuumed. "I'd probably be wearing her heels if they fit," he joked.
