Samir and his Baby

Well, this was my entry for the final contest, but I was too stupid to resize after adding my border, and took my 2nd DQ in a row. Dammit.

It was fun all, thanks for the month of motivation that this challenge provided, and the comments that helps me complete it.

Day 31 - The Last Photo.

I wasn't going to post a Day 31, and this was going to be my original H?H, but I have one I like better now, so it seemed a fitting way to end the Dirty 30.

It's over. ;)

Thanks for visiting.

Day 30 - Joey Sandulo

Joey Sandulo let me and a buddy (MyShutterBug) run around his gym taking pictures for a couple of hours today. He had never met us before, and he was all class, as he put up with a couple of amateur photogs, telling us great stories all the while. I doubt that he will ever see this, but if he does, Thank You.

Here are some facts about Joey's career:

Joe Sandulo is the president and head coach of the Ottawa Beaver Boxing Club.

He has assisted and coached several Canadian champions including Brian Brennan, Ian Clyde, Samir Loati and the club’s newest champion, Jill Perry.

At the age of 16, Mr. Sandulo became the youngest Canadian Amateur Boxing Champion (a record that will never be broken), and competed in the 1948 Olympic games.

He is a member of the Canadian Boxing and Ottawa Halls of Fame.

Day 26 - Meathooks

"Detective, I think you need to see this..."



A write up on how this image was done can be found in my June Archive.

Day 25 - Wah Wah

Day 24 - Old Denim

Torn, tattered, patched, and faded. Perfection.

Day 23 - Bachelor Pad

It might be small, but at least it costs too much :)

Day 22 - Quick Change Artist

Most stressful image ever.

Not near enough time to make it the way I wanted, so bad at time management. Still taking reshoots at 11:30, and network won't connect when I attempt to login at 11:45. Thank God resetting router worked. Thought I'd be racing to work =/

Serenity now.

Day 21 - McShrimp

I thought I was making this up... until I googled it =/

Day 20 - Light Sleeper

I had a dream I was floating...

Day 19 - Visual Pollution

Day 18 - What the hell's a Lolcat?

Day 17 - On top of Ole Smokey

Day 16 - Old Lamp

A 40 watt bulb in a cheap lamp is the same as a 40 watt bulb in an expensive one.

Day 15 - Improv

Day 14 - Electricity

Day 13 - What could it be?

My niece's 6th birthday today, those presents didn't stand a chance.
This picture is of her ripping the tissue paper out of a gift bag to see what treasures lie within.

I got her a camera :)

Day 12 - Breakfast of Champions

Mmmm, Mmmm, Science.

Day 11 - Agony of Defeat

Actually, the agony is trying to get these things posted before midnight. :)

My nieces and a little buddy.

Day 9 - Snatched!

I'm not sure what to say about this one, but I like it :)

Day 8 - Mr. Hydrant

C'mon, admit it. Everyone has taken at least one photo of a fire hydrant.

Day 7 - Flash Gordon

Liked this shot better than the one I set it up for so, there ya go.

Day 6 - The Morning After...

Well, mission accomplished.
Drank myself stoopid, and am paying for it today.

Day 5 - The Night Before...

This is what I'm doing tonight, so "Day 6 - The Morning After..." pic may not be too creative, or quite possibly entirely too graphic :)

Day 4 - Monster of Rock

Cliche Alert: Yeah, I used Lens Flare, but I'm a rock and roll rebel!!! :)

Day 3 - Two Boots on a wire

Whew, with seconds to spare :)

These boots have been hanging on this wire for months, and this challenge was
enough motivation to finally pull over and get the shot.

Day 2 - The Light

A light in my buildings stairwell that I have always liked...
might be a freudian thing ;)

Day 1 - Old Number 4

Abandoned gas station south of Ottawa.
