Look Away

Omahaw

My friend Michelle came to Omaha last weekend from Chicago and we spent the weekend bumming around town.

We went to several antique stores and wandered around playing with all the weird stuff. Like old toasters...

We also walked around an art gallery/artist studios where Michelle pondered the deep meaning in this painting. She takes this stuff very seriously...

Beautiful fall view of downtown Omaha...

I love this old building. It's completely covered in old painted-on signs on both sides.

Opposites

Guess which one is mine (the graphic designer) and which one is John's (the music guy)? Okay, now switch them and you have your answer. The craziest thing is that John just drew that right on his pumpkin and started carving and I sketched mine out on a piece of paper for 10 minutes before starting. Ridiculous.

We seem to be developing pumpkin carving styles.

Spark!

There is a new post up at my other blog. Go check it out here.

Perplexed

My dad was visiting from Peoria this weekend and Saturday was a beautiful day. Amongst many other things we stopped at a park to throw a Frisbee and just hang out. We walked past a group playing some sort of sport which involved dressing up in strange Renaissance clothing, throwing a ball, and poking each other with large baton-like objects. We think they made it up.

Anyway, this shot makes me laugh.

What you can't see is that they are a mirror images of each other and they each have one hand up to their chin and one arm across their stomach. Funny. They stood like that for a while trying to figure it out.

Catfucious say...

humans keep bowl of crunchies full, they live long and prosperous life.

Visitors!

Our friends Mitch and Kathleen came to visit us this past weekend from Chicago. They were the first in a string of 3 visitors we will have in a row. We were so excited to see them because we were starting to feel a little disconnected. It was a gray, rainy weekend but we didn't care.

We went downtown to the Old Market on Saturday and walked around. There was a little farmer's market that was very cute and, as Kathleen put it, "wholesome".

How cute is this guy organizing his tomatoes? Dressed up like a conductor.

My brother told me that it looked like nobody ever hung out in the Old Market. The last time I took pictures down there it was like 6:00 on a weeknight and I avoided getting people in my shots. So this time I tried show that the Old Market is not a ghost town. It's actually very lively and there are always street musicians and people eating outside.

I had to have them

Camera Class

I now know what every single button and setting on my camera does.
