Animal pictures of the week: 30 July 2010 - Telegraph

\ Poor dog. I'm sorry, Steve.

Look carefully around 54 seconds, and you'll see Knuckles. I'm in a few other bits as well.

Dude has got dirt on his lens.

Four FLACs from juno.co.uk, including a very rare remix. I am not ripshit angry, because the remix is a 3:20 edit (probably yanked from a DJ mix) and not the 6:22 full length. OCD electronic music snobs don't like paying full price of half a track.

x2, minus the defense. Heckuva mobile ya got there.

Late to the party as always, but if Reks dun want that camera bag you've got, I might be interested in it. My backpack style camera bag is slowing me down.

Moar. NSFL. Do not click.

Yep, that's University Drive. I was standing by the CVS building looking (mostly) toward UMASS.

I am lucky in that my mother is an awesome lady. I get along with her well, and road trips with her are not a problem. My grandmother, OTOH, is a force of destruction that can upset even the most stable situation. She's has 92 years to master the art, and she's a fricken blackbelt. Today went very well, with the exception of me clocking my head hard on the trunk of the car as I was trying put granny's cane away. I hit it off with Irene, my grandmother's friend. I got to see many original prints done by her husband, as well as two books and and a bunch of postcards. She's in her 80s, so the internets are a vague idea to her. She did manage to get someone to put up a rudimentary website showing some of his work. At the end of the day, I asked if I could see her husband's cameras. There were two Leicas, a Rolliflex, a 1950s Nikon rangefinder, and two more modern SLRs. I took pictures of all of them. I also saw the darkroom he built in the 1950s (which was a dream workspace). There will be an extended geek session about all of this in the photography thread ...later. Right now, Knuckles must faceplant.
