LEROI MOORE 1961-2008

08/19/2008

We are deeply saddened that LeRoi Moore, saxophonist and founding member of Dave Matthews Band, died unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon, August 19, 2008, at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles from sudden complications stemming from his June ATV accident on his farm near Charlottesville, Virginia. LeRoi had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin an intensive physical rehabilitation program.

eBay Store Open

I've finally gotten around to opening my eBay store. You can now find Purple Penguins Studio fine art prints on eBay.

And now, I must sleep! :)

Yes, I'm cheating. I didn't take this photo, nor did I order the t-shirt on Sunday (ordered it on Saturday), but I did think about Project 365 on Sunday - just didn't have a chance to snap any shots. And in the spirit of Project 365 being a photo documentary of my year, I wanted this image included. Semi-justified? Probably not, but this is MY project, and I'll cry if I want to! errr...

Photo Assignment: Aug 11 - Aug 31

Bad me - posted this to Flickr but forgot to post it to the blogs!

Friendship: Aug 11 - 31, 2008

Your best friend, man's best friend, people who just look like friends, or something else entirely that represents friendship to you... Get out and hug your dog - cat - spouse - child - significant other - buddy - drinking partner - roommate - favorite blanky... and while you're at it, snap a photo!

Post 1 or more pics to the group pool on Flickr...

Holla! :)

The $50 Film Camera Contest

Alright, all you digi-cam devotees! This photo contest looks really cool. Found it on one of my favorite photo blogs, Epic Edits, and there are some big name sponsors providing prizes.

Basically, buy (or dig out of the closet) a film camera that costs less than $50. Write a review of your new camera. Submit an entire roll of film shot with that camera (yes, entire roll - it doesn't have to be the first roll, but they want to see the failures along with the gems).

That's about it! Deadline is Sept 12th.

Check it out - Photo Project: The $50 Film Camera

Save the Sunflowers!

Today, I installed brick edging to hopefully prevent future destruction of my sunflowers. (See dying specimen at the left, relocated after the landscapers knocked it over when mowing. Sadly, it did not make it).

A group of people ran through my town today with full police escort. I have no idea what they were running for. I thought maybe there would be a banner on the medic bus or something, but no such luck. It was HOT out!
