The Secondary Break: Wednesday's Links
Jan 8, 2014, 8:00 AM EDT
Harvard Basketball: The Startup (Slam Magazine)
On Wednesday night the Harvard Crimson play their final non-conference game of the season as they visit UConn, with the Huskies coming off of two losses in Texas (Houston and SMU). Those defeats may have taken some of the luster off of this matchup, one that a Harvard program looking to build on last season's NCAA tournament victory can use. How did Harvard reach the point where an at-large bid can be considered? It all began with a vision.
Midseason Awards: NEC (Big Apple Buckets)
With conference play underway, the first days of January are usually a good time to recap what happened in non-conference play. This piece takes a look at the Northeast Conference, with its race shaping up to be the competitive one that many predicted prior to the start of the season.
London Perrantes brings "that Cali swag" to the Cavaliers as a freshman (Washington Post)
With the graduation of Jontel Evans at the conclusion of the 2012-13 season, Virginia head coach Tony Bennett had a hole to fill at the point guard position. Into that role slid freshman London Perrantes, a California native who grew up dreaming of playing in the ACC and on Saturday at Florida State played arguably his best game to date. He'll be a key factor for the Cavaliers if they're to reach the NCAA tournament.
URI pays heavy price for slow start (Providence Journal)
After winning games against Brown and LSU last week, Rhode Island entered Tuesday night's Atlantic 10 opener against Saint Louis brimming with confidence. But the Rams saw their win streak come to an end, falling by the final score of 59-58, and their poor start to the game certainly had an impact on the result.
Kentucky basketball behaving more like a team, Calipari and players say (Louisville Courier-Journal)
The winter break, in some instances, has a knack for forcing college basketball teams to improve their chemistry. Why? Much of the student body is home for the holidays, leaving the players with few options when it comes to on-campus interactions. That was the case for a young Kentucky team working to reach the level many expected before the season began, and according to the player and head coach John Calipari the winter break certainly helped.
Comebacks nothing new for this season's undefeated squad (Wisconsin State Journal)
After struggling for much of the game's first 30 minutes on Sunday night, No. 4 Wisconsin found a way to come back and beat No. 22 Iowa in Madison. And while the Badgers, who are off to the best start in school history, haven't been in too many situations like that one they knew what needed to be done.
UNC JV team: Hubert Davis takes charge (Raleigh News & Observer)
North Carolina is one of the few athletic departments that also field a JV basketball team, with players who don't have the talent that the guys we see on TV every week living out their dream of wearing that jersey. And this is also a positive experience for the assistant who gets to coach the JV team, with Hubert Davis leading the way this season.
Point guards are key to winning 2014 Mid-American Conference title (Cleveland Post-Dispatch)
Guard play has always been important in the game of basketball, regardless of the level of play. And for the Mid-American Conference, the winner could be determined by which team gets the greatest amount of production from the position. Akron? Ohio? Toledo? Someone else? Whoever wins the automatic bid will likely have a capable floor general leading the way.

A very warm congratulations from all Lamborghini enthusiasts to Valentino Balboni, legendary test driver for Automobili Lamborghini SpA for decades, and these days a valuable representative for the Raging Bull make.
Mr Balboni has been with Automobili Lamborghini SpA for 40 years now, that's right, almost as long as the company exists, in fact on April 21. 1967 none other that the late Ferruccio Lamborghini himself engaged Valentino to work at Sant'Agata.
It is safe to say that Valentino Balboni has been test driving most of the models that left the gates at Sant'Agata the last 40 years, and he 'rubbed shoulders' with the most important customers in the history of the Raging Bull company, but Valentino didn't start as a test driver at Lamborghini.
Even when still going to school, the young Valentino rode his bicycle along the factory to admire those amazing automobiles that were parked outside, and finally, during the summer vacation he was able to start working on the assembly department, after graduating he was able to get a mechanic job at Lamborghini. This latter allowed him to drive the cars in various state of finish from one area to another, knowing Valentino he frequently pressed the accelerator a bit too deep ... resulting in a loud roar from the V12 and spinning rear tires.
His fellow workers and the engineers didn't really enjoy this, but Ferruccio did, and he personally asked Valentino if he would like to become an official test driver for Lamborghini ... he didn't have to think twice about this and gladly accepted this offer, which made him work for the legendary Bob Wallace, the latter took on Valentino as his apprentice and together they fine tuned many Bulls over the following years ...
Back in those early days of cars like the Miura, Valentino and Bob were the only two test drivers at the factory, together they drove around in pre-production prototypes and reported back to the engineers like Stanzani, Bevini and Pedastri with engine related issues, or Dallara when it was related to the chassis setup, as always, Ferruccio had the last word on all Lamborghini models, but Valentino and Bob turned his visions into road cars.
Today Valentino has 20 fellow test drivers, from various countries, including Germans naturally, they drive the cars both on the open road and on enclosed circuits, back in the late Sixties and Seventies, cars were driven on the roads around Sant'Agata, seven days a week and even during the evening, just because there was no time to waste, Lamborghini had to sell cars, so Valentino and Bob had to make sure the customer would receive a car he could handle.
Today Valentino Balboni is Chief Test Driver at Automobili Lamborghini SpA, but he's also present during the most important Lamborghini related events all around the world, as an ambassador for the company, because he is one of the very few people that remain who actually enjoyed the growing up of the factory, or should we say : 'who had the privilege to experience this'
I've personally met Valentino several times at events and auto shows, and every time he is easy to talk to and always takes his time to answer your questions, he's a walking encyclopedia for everything related to Lamborghini ... it's always a pleasure to meet him !

Lovely service, great if you're looking for authentic Greek food. Very beautiful olive dip on arrival with rustic bread. Delicious meals and staff very accommodating!
Local recommendations appreciated. Very happy with our experience :)
Good service, was seated by a friendly waitress.
We got bread and olive dip - really nice.
We had lamb and stuffed octopus. Both dishes were excellent.
The atmosphere was ok, but a group of "drunk" english guests destroyed that a litte...
Safe place to visit for lunch and dinner.
Very good food by the St.George territory. Very clean pleasant place. Fresh made bread. I finally found the famous local potatoes made in the oven and not fried. The toilet is perfect.
We ate here tonight on our first night in Naxos. The lady who served us was fluent in German and spoke excellent English. Service was friendly and efficient- at the end of our meal we were offered cake, watermelon and liqueur- all which we declined as we were so full! For starters we had the cheese balls and vineleaves- these...
We had dinner at Meltemi Restaurant in Naxos on 19th July. The food was excellent, the service was quick and friendly. This place is highly recommended.
First launch in the beautiful island of naxos and was not dissapointed at all! Great fresh products and good prices. The soutzoukakia was amazing! The owner and the service in general was great!
Ate here with my friend. Seated at lovely table, waitress was really helpful and helped us chose nice dishes. My friend has the lamb (yum) and I had the stuffed calamari( very good). The bread and olive dip were gorgeous too.
Can't fault the place at all, but I have had better and with one night to go on Nacos...
It was great. Nice place, friendly staff, good quality of food! The prices are good. It is in a good place near in center. Many tables to fit everybody :)
The food was good, my wife had a roasted vegetable stew and I had lamb. The service was good. All in all a good experience, but nothing amazing. We were here early, I expect that it will be much more lively later in the evening! A good choice for a meal
The food at this restaurant was excellent. I keep dreaming about it! Lol. The staff was so friendly and gave us free drinks and appetizers. Our meal was excellent and dinner, for two, with a bottle of wine, was less than 45euros! Definitely going back.

'The day I found Brad Pitt in bed with my wife': Mike Tyson reveals he was 'mad as hell' after discovering 'bizarre love triangle'
Mike Tyson has revealed how he found his wife in bed with Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt - and how he 'was mad as hell' at the discovery.
The 46-year-old said although he was divorcing actress Robin Givens he used to go round her home daily for sex before visiting his lawyer and denouncing her 'as a pig' who stole his money.
In what former boxer Tyson described as a 'love triangle with Pitt' the Hangover star told US chat show In Depth With Graham Bensinger he was 'mad as hell', before adding: 'You should have saw his face when he saw me.'
triangle: Tyson also discussed his unexpected love triangle with
ex-wife Robin Givens and pre-famous Brad Pitt in 1989 before their
divorce was finalized
Old flames: Mike, who's now happily married to third wife Lakiha Spencer, then stumbled upon Brad having sex with the Head of the Class star
Givens and Tyson had a famously short-lived marriage in the 1980s that was marked by violence.
When the pair married in 1988 Tyson was estimated to be worth $50 million.
She filed for divorce three months
later alleging spousal abuse and was reported to have received a divorce
settlement of over $10million.
A Harvard graduate, many believed Givens had set out to take Tyson's money. She had previously dated Eddie Murphy and Brad Pitt.
The athlete told Bensinger: 'I was doing a divorce but every day, before I would go to my lawyer's office to say, "She's a pig and stealing," I would go to her house to have sex with her.'
Tyson, who admitted in 2010 he agreed to play a caricature of himself in The Hangover to fund his drug habit, recently revealed that he was high on cocaine while shooting the cameo in the hit film, which became the highest-grossing R-rated comedy in the United States.
The 46-year-old heavyweight champion, who was a fan of director Todd Phillips' Old School, told Yahoo! Sports: 'I was a mess. I was overweight. I was a pig, high on cocaine.'
Candid: Mike Tyson has revealed that he was high on cocaine while shooting the cameo in The Hangover
Speaking on In Depth With Graham Bensinger, Tyson reiterated he only signed on to the project to 'supply his drug habit', according to producers.
In the 2009 movie, the notorious boxer threatens to harm the Wolfpack unless they return his stolen tiger, but in real life the cast inspired him to change his lifestyle.
'They had to know I was messed up': Tyson called himself an 'overweight pig' in the movie, which became the highest-grossing R-rated comedy
'They had to know I was messed up. I couldn't talk. I had the cocaine talk,' Tyson said of Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, and Justin Bartha.
'So those guys are just beautiful people. They had my back, and I appreciate that and stuff, then they asked me to come back [in The Hangover 2].'
Back in 2007, the boxer was convicted of
possession of cocaine and a DUI and the year prior, Tyson checked into
rehab after a similar arrest.
Mike, who's now happily married to
third wife Lakiha Spencer, then stumbled upon the Head of the Class star
returning home with Pitt.
'I was mad as hell. I was going to...you should have saw his face when he saw me,' Tyson told the interviewer.
The former boxer has since moved on from the scandal.
He took to his Twitter account on Saturday to remind fans about his one-man show, Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth, will soon hit the road for a 10-week, 36-city national tour.
'They had my back': The former boxer said the cast, including Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, and Justin Bartha, inspired him to change his lifestyle
Funeral scene: Director Todd Phillips posted this Instagram shot of the Wolfpack suited up at a graveyard while filming The Hangover Part III
'My #OneManShow is hitting the road on a NATIONAL TOUR starting February 2013,' he wrote to his 2.9 million followers.
The two-hour, tell-all show was directed by Spike Lee and originally ran for 11 days in August on Broadway at the Longacre Theater.
It tackles his marriages, divorces, eight children, rape conviction, anger issues, and the piece of ear he bit off of Evander Holyfield.
Tyson will not, however, reprise his outlandish character a third time in the final instalment of the booze-soaked franchise The Hangover.
The Hangover Part III, due in theaters on May 24, 2013, is rumoured to focus on Phil and Stu (Cooper and Helms) breaking Alan (Galifianakis) out of a mental institution.
But the boxer told TMZ this week: 'I have no idea what's going on, I'm not in this one.'

Ranger-led snowshoe walks are an excellent way to learn or practice snowshoeing techniques and explore Lassen in its winter form. Route and distance varies depending on group ability and fitness. At the beginning of each snowshoe walk, a ranger will demonstrate how to put on snowshoes and how to move around. Once the basic techniques are covered, the group heads out into the snow and the adventure begins!

Winter Wonderland in Milton Keynes is cancelled after one day after complaints of 'Poundland Santa'
Published: 15 December 2013
Updated: 07:42, 16 December 2013
A Winter Wonderland event has been cancelled after attracting a raft of complaints from parents.
The event in Campbell Park, in Milton Keynes, which included paid-for events such as ice skating, opened on Saturday.
But organisers confirmed the event was no longer taking place after parents reportedly bombarded its Facebook page, which was unavailable today, with complaints about the quality of the Wonderland.
One mother writing on a blog for the Natal Company said her family had paid £42 to pre-book tickets to find "men dressed in Santa outfits from Poundland".
"This was definitely no Wonderland," she wrote. "It felt like an opportunity to rip off parents who had hoped to have a magical day out with their children."
The Santa's Grotto was also closed initially because of a "technical issue", she wrote.
Other complaints were that the advertising suggested more than two husky dogs and two reindeer would be at the event and that the ice rink did not contain real ice, the BBC reported.
Organisers posted a message on the Winter Wonderland MK website, stating: "We regret that this event has been cancelled".
They also promised that anyone who pre-ordered tickets would be issued with full refunds.
The event's charity partner the Papworth Trust said it was "concerned" to hear about the complaints and had withdrawn from the event.
In a statement, the disability charity said: "As the benefiting charity associated with the Winter Wonderland MK event, we have been concerned to hear about the issues on the opening day.
"We are sorry to hear about people's experiences of the day. After consulting with our volunteers and listening to the public's feedback, we have sadly decided to withdraw our volunteers and our association with the event."
A spokesman from The Parks Trust, which looks after Campbell Park, said: "We are very sorry to hear that some people have had such a disappointing experience at Winter Wonderland MK. We have been in touch with the organisers Winter Wonderland MK who have advised us that regrettably they have now cancelled this event.
"Winter Wonderland MK have told us that they will be contacting all the customers on their database to arrange refunds and that people should get in touch with them via their website www.wwmk.co.uk or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Before The Parks Trust hires out any sites out to third parties we do ensure that organisers have robust health and safety policies, are fully insured and have a detailed event management plan in place. We also liaise with the local authority and the police through the Safety Advisory Group.
"We are saddened that Winter Wonderland MK did not meet some customers' expectations."

Let the graffiti games begin. With the Olympics just mere days away, street artists have been making their presence known around England. Even Banksy couldn't resist an opportunity to show his satirical support with these two new pieces. One stencil features a javelin thrower armed with a missile while the second is a portrait of an Olympic pole vaulter in mid-jump landing in the direction of a filthy mattress below.
Equally impressive is other Olympic-themed work that has cropped up all over. This timely McDonald's jab (in case you aren't aware McDonald's will be the only French fries, or 'chips' sold at London Olympic venues) by an unknown artist was photographed by Pogorita outside the Brighton tube station.
Even this piece of a female diver plunges headfirst into an open toilet captured by Tim Callaghan makes quite the provocative statement. And a multi-colored pigeon by Ronzo depicts city birds getting in on the action.

Will there be mixed feelings for Blackhawks fans during Chris Chelios Heritage Night?
Dec 17, 2010, 3:15 PM EDT
During his earlier playing days (waits for "Paleozoic Era" jokes) with the Chicago Blackhawks, Chris Chelios claimed that he would never play for the Detroit Red Wings. Instead, he played parts of 10 seasons in the Motor City compared to nine and a half campaigns as an elite blueliner in the Windy City.
Let's face it, sports are ultimately frivolous forms of entertainment, so throwing the term "betrayal" around is as hyperbolic as comparing athletes who fight through injuries to "warriors."
Yet that might be a decent way of describing how Blackhawks fans felt (and feel?) about Chelios. After all, when the team announced that they would hold a heritage night in his honor (tonight as the team takes on the Red Wings), Chicago fans greeted the news with "an overwhelming amount of booing."
The team has done a fantastic job of mending the fences with its former stars after the death of Bill Wirtz, honoring players such as Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, Bob Probert and more. There were plenty of emotions flying around during those nights, but it's hard not to wonder what kind of reaction he might receive.
Don't forget that he definitely made a big impact on the team in the '90s, something the team discusses.
"I'm very proud to be honored in this way by the Chicago Blackhawks organization," said Chelios. "This will be a special night for my family and I and I'm happy to be able to share it with the great fans of the Blackhawks."
Chelios spent nine of his 26 National Hockey League seasons in a Blackhawks uniform, collecting 487 points (92G, 395A) and 1,495 penalty minutes in 664 regular-season games from 1990 to 1999. His 1,495 career penalty minutes during the regular season are a franchise record while his 395 assists and 487 points are third-most among Chicago blueliners. Chelios holds the single season record by a Blackhawks defenseman with 58 assists in both 1992-93 and 1995-96. He also posted a point in 15 consecutive games during the 1995-96 season, a franchise record by a blueliner.
It's understandable that Blackhawks fans hold a grudge against the great defenseman, but maybe for one night, they can remember the good times instead.

Now off the air for longer than it was on, the team behind HBO horrific episodic frightfest Tales from the Crypt have decided to release a compilation disc of the Cryptkeeper's favorite metal bands for no apparent reason. Other than compiling some dusty Dio-era Black Sabbath tracks ("Heaven and Hell") with later mishaps by the likes of Anthrax ("Bordello of Blood? Geez!) and Prong ("Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck"),reasons for putting this album put remain unknown. Sure, there's the blood 'n' guts scary theme running throughout as well as the incredibly lame yet obligatory Cryptkeeper puns, but why? Still, there is no reason to complain if you're a fan of the genre. Pantera, Megadeth, and even faux-prog metal wusses Queensryche show up alongside the likes Scandinavian heavy-metal-weights The Haunted and Entombed (who inexplicably contribute an instrumental version of their hit "Wolverine Blues"). There's also some Judas Priest song ("Beyond the Realms of Death") and an old Dio solo track ("Don't Talk to Strangers") that contains the line "Don't dream of women 'cause they'll only bring you down". Huh, Ronnie? It's interesting to note that a substantial portion of these songs is in the form of power-ballads, if only to show the "sensitive" side of the hesher community (please, how 1986 is that issue?). Still, it's hard to criticize a disc that decides to close out with Metal Church's 1985 classic, "Beyond the Black".

A minor security malfunction at Duke Energy Nuclear Plant in Southport has officials conducting an investigation of the facility, a Duke Energy spokeswoman said.
Officials are trying to determine how a security barrier came up from the ground Jan. 9 without being activated by authorized personnel on the property, Duke Energy spokeswoman Amy Strecker said. The barrier is a security measure that extends from the ground to prevent unauthorized vehicle entry into secured areas.
The particular barrier that was activated is past a security checkpoint on an access road leading into the facility.
No injuries were reported, and the facility sustained no damage.
The security vehicle barrier will remain out of service until a full investigation can be completed.
These types of security measures are in place to help prevent security breaches from reaching the plant, Strecker said. She also said that the public is not at risk because of the barrier being activated.
The plant will remain under normal operating conditions, Strecker said.

Quinn returned the kind words on Kessler, whose absence from the room at the end also has been cited as key to the deal. Kessler and Stern, in particular, long have had frictions, to the point that Kessler's contributions via speakerphone in the final meeting almost derailed the settlement. "In the week or 10 days I was involved, I think Jeffrey was helpful in getting things done," Quinn said. "Even though he wasn't in the room, I didn't have the sense he was trying to prevent something from happening. He was doing his job. I think it's been a little unfair that people were saying, 'He's been replaced' somehow. He was still involved. He was just playing a different role. Once they disclaimed, he was a lawyer for those players." Quinn, though, was the broker, whether all the owners, players and NBA fans realize it or not. "Clearly I'm not looking for credit," Quinn said. "And I presume that I'll get paid at some point. So I'm not worried about it."
Jim Quinn Rumors
Jim Quinn, renowned litigator and longtime adversary of NBA commissioner David Stern, had placed the phone calls. He had navigated the ill will, convinced the warring parties to lay down their rhetoric and arranged for the summit that would lead the league's owners and players — after one more grueling, orgiastic, 15-hour negotiating session — from "nuclear winter" to a Merry Christmas. But Quinn didn't stick around for the final dickering or the handshakes. He was down in Key West, Fla., by that time, yielding to leverage of a different sort. "I had my 45th wedding anniversary," Quinn said in a phone interview with NBA.com the other day. "And if you want to have a 46th, you do things like that. But I had sort of set the agenda for the meeting, so I was confident it was going to get done."
The final push came with the involvement of a new figure: Jim Quinn, a former outside counsel to the players union, who was hired by Hunter last week to help restart the talks. Quinn essentially replaced Jeffrey Kessler — the current outside counsel — as the lead negotiator for the players when the parties resumed talks on Tuesday. That meeting set the stage for Friday's critical session. N.B.A. officials regarded Kessler as a contentious negotiator who has been an impediment to a deal. Quinn, a partner at the Weil, Gotshal law firm, is highly regarded by all parties and has a strong rapport with league officials, most notably Stern. Oddly, neither Quinn nor Kessler was present for Friday's meeting. Kessler participated by conference call. Quinn was replaced by one of his partners, Bruce Meyer.
With those dynamics in mind, the talks take the form of a legal settlement as opposed to a collective bargaining resolution — with many of the same participants still involved but some new faces, too. The players' lead attorney in the antitrust action, David Boies, has teamed with former NBPA lead outside counsel Jim Quinn in an effort to push the deal across the finish line. Multiple people connected to the talks have told CBSSports.com that the discussions could move quickly towards a deal after the momentum gained in the past week from back-channel talks spearheaded by Quinn, who was a key figure in ending the 1998-99 lockout. But one person in frequent contact with ownership cautioned that it may take the entire weekend to find common ground, adding that there "could be some anxiety" in the room Friday.
Ken Berger: Players' lawyer Jeff Kessler will not be present today, but remains "very much involved," per source. Jim Quinn taking prominent role.
According to people involved in the process on both sides, there is a common realization that this is the week a deal must come together to fulfill the league's desire to start the season by Christmas. And despite the lack of official communication between the parties and some obstacles that grew out of the players' antitrust actions, sources maintain that the framework of a settlement could be reached quickly once the dialogue progressed from the back channels to the formal stages. "Everyone on both sides realizes it's settlement time," said a person who has been in frequent contact with negotiators.

Once in a blue moon...you see a blue moon.
Please continue on out to Denver to see what the amazing Sarah Zalan has found this month.
Once in a blue moon...you see a blue moon.
Please continue on out to Denver to see what the amazing Sarah Zalan has found this month.
I have high hopes of catching up on my posting soon, because the number of photos taken on Day 13 may equal the total number of photos I have taken in the subsequent two weeks. My desire to go to bed has won out over my desire to further whittle these down, so without further ado: far too many pictures of our day in Arches National Park - I think I liked the crazy clouds almost as much as the amazing geology. Gorgeous, fun and at times a little sweaty. Once again, our troopers trooped most successfully and I can't recommend this area of the world enough.
I'm a little behind in my editing, though the 75 Days of Summer project continues uninterrupted. However, some fun in the water (on Day 26) felt appropriate for this week's Perspectives theme, kaleidoscopic. I have been incorporating recent P52 links into broader posts, so if you're following our collective project and haven't seen our group's work recently, please do scroll through and check out some of the gorgeous imagery my friends have posted these past few weeks over at Who We Become.
As far as Mondays go, I'll take this one. I was already very excited to receive the press package for an exhibit I am hanging later this week - if you are in the area and have the chance to head up to lovely Rowayton, CT, please stop in! If you are free this Sunday, even better because not only will there be photography, but also wine, cheese...and me! And wine. And cheese.
Then, I checked my email and learned that a favorite image of mine was selected for the main gallery of the Black & White Exhibit at the Photoplace Gallery in Vermont. After a bit of a hiatus from juried shows, when I applied for this one last month, I came away simply feeling good about putting myself out there again. So to learn that I have been included has left me feeling rather over the moon. I am incredibly honored to have something of mine included among this diverse and beautiful body of work.
I found juror Tillman Crane's statement to be an interesting look at the thought process behind the technical and emotional aspects underlying photography as an art form, as well as the somewhat arbitrary nature of the juried process. It is not always easy to put yourself out in the world and his discussion about selection versus rejection resonated with me as being truthful and universal. Please take a look at the full set of images and see his statement in the link above.
The trouble with trying to photograph the incredible views from the Island in the Sky is that nothing can do justice to the beauty and sheer scope of this place. It's also hard to convey how high we were in some of these - the trails were not always easy but our little hiker barely paused for breath (and I tried not to panic while he carefully peered over the cliff edges). While we had a great time in Arches (day 13!), it was Canyonlands that stole my heart.
Here, an over-abundance of photos from our day in the clouds:
Day 11 - the drive to Moab.
Turns out, keeping up with a daily summer photo project is no challenge...when you're on a road trip. Last week, after a few days in Denver for my beautiful cousin's wedding, we headed off on a family adventure. First stop, Glenwood Springs, and a night at the gorgeous Hotel Colorado. We met with an infatuated turkey, had fun times in the hot springs (minus the camera) and found thrills in the air and underground.
It's vacation time around here, so while posting has slowed, shooting has not. Project 75 Days of Summer is still alive and kicking. Below, days 4 to 8.
This little one has been featured a little heavily in the One rotation recently, but I can't help but go with this shot. It isn't technically fabulous, but there is something irresistible about such a glorious mess. Nothing gets between our exceedingly independent baby and her object of desire.
Please head out to Washington to see what the amazing Krista has found this month, and while you're at it, congratulate her on that shiny new Masters degree she just earned! A woman of many talents, indeed.
I have yet to undertake a daily shooting project, but have often been inspired by the efforts of my fellow photographers. Recently, the Instagram/Facebook hashtag #100daysofsummer has caught my eye and left me thinking about a) how lazy I am and b) how private I am and, in light of those two things, am I willing to undertake a summertime photography project that will likely center around my family? And, also...c) do we really have 100 days of summer? As it turns out, we do not. In terms of vacation, we have 75. And when it comes to a frequent photography project, that is probably for the best.
I won't guarantee a daily post, though I will plan to shoot daily and I will guarantee more personal shots for the time being. In any case, I am going to give the project the old college try. We will have adventures, excitement and a lot of time on the playground. Kicking off with days 0-3.
We were looking for vibrant images this week and my film from Brighton Beach did more than deliver. Orange and turquoise? Check.

The dad in our household is excellent at scouting out fun and slightly random adventures for us to go on. This weekend, we went on two. The first, seen here, is our trip to the newly reopened High Bridge, way uptown. The second, captured only on film, will have to wait.
Our theme at Who We Become this week is Layered, which seemed very appropriate when viewing the city from on high and at a distance. Please click on over to our collection and see everyone's take this week!
Perhaps the most disheveled thing around here this week is me - we had a busy and wonderful weekend doing some celebrating in our family and I'm still recovering. But someone else got a little disheveled too, after being smothered in kisses by her favorite pup. A bath was required by the time this encounter was over.

There is a transition period when you see your baby turning into a child. It starts off gradually, but then becomes an avalanche. New words, new skills and a new way of interacting. Yesterday, she stood and watched a torrential downpour, fascinated, then hid in my arms in fear when the thunder rolled in. She's taking in the world and making it her own.

Incredibly, this month's one post is already here. What can I say, I like stripes. Please continue on to the Pacific Northwest to see what my amazing friend Krista has found this month.
This week on P52.3: Perspectives, we are searching for transitory moments. Please head over to Who We Become to see the collection.
I went to Chicago last weekend and brought my 35mm film camera with no auto focus because I want to force myself to shoot more film/like to torment myself, as you wish. More images to come, but I liked the light shimmering through the spring trees for our translucent theme this week. Go check out Who We Become, it's such a fun collection this week!
