Snaps From the Past......

We are lucky to have the USS Wisconsin make its home here in Norfolk. People often relate length to how many football fields something is long. I don't know how long a football field is, but at over 880 feet the Wisconsin is surely longer.

The ladies at work are pretty good about letting me take their pictures. In fact, if it were true that taking a person's picture steals their soul, all the ladies at work would now be soulless.

I took this picture at The Chrysler Museum, Norfolk, Virginia. Yes, I know it is a cliché snap. Yes, I know many photographers have one of these around. Yes, I know this is not an original or unique idea; however, I like this picture. The Chrysler is a terrific place to wander around for a few hours, or a place that you can run in and spend a few minutes at your favorite place. The Chrysler has a nice permanent photography collection as well as terrific photography exhibitions; some I've seen over the past year or so include, Ernest Whithers, James Agee, and Larry Clark. Most of the time it's not crowded and it's a place where you won’t feel rushed. It’s a great place to visit, whether a few minutes or several hours. We’re lucky to have the Chrysler here in Norfolk

I recently bought a car from this lady. She made it painless and the price was more than fair. I took this when I stopped by to have the oil changed.

I met this gentleman while wandering the streets of Norfolk searching for a picture. Sadly, I didn't do him justice.
