SAPCC #43 – Isolation
I finally got a new hard drive – 1TB… Woooohooo! For the past three weeks, I have been limited in my abilities to edit photos because I had been moving videos, condensing them, deleting RAW files… It was a mess. Add in too many events that needed photos and I have fallen behind.
For “isolation,” I have chosen this photo of the old real Yankee Stadium as seen from a balcony in the new Yankee Stadium. To try & be brief, I chose this because:
1. The old stadium is isolated from the public with obvious scaffolding.
2. The new stadium is isolated from being a part of the Bronx because of its grandness.
3. Pieces of the old stadium are isolated from regular people like me when Steiner sports sells them for premium prices.
4. Capitalism at work… isolation?
Oh how I wish I had more time before work to explain this further.
Once again, these guys were on time:
SAPCC #24 – Reflect
Has anyone seen the new Pedigree commercial? It’s the one where dogs are in the shelter looking sad while voice over David Duchovny (sp) says something like, “I can sit, I can play fetch… so why am I here?” Well, if that’s not reflection, I do not know what is. When I went to Liberty Humane this weekend, those words kept echoing in my mind. I will spare you ALL of the pictures & just post this one. This is James. He is a pitbull mix available for adoption at Liberty Humane Society in Jersey City, NJ. He is adorable & very sweet.
This next shot is “backstage” at the Snowball 37 show at Maxwell’s in Hoboken. By backstage, I am referring to the downstairs storage area not a fancy green room with a spread of little bread and oversized cold cuts (“This Is Spinal Tap” anyone?). I did not stage this shot. The greathing about always taking pictures is that those around you get used to it eventually and forget you are taking their pictures. This is David Fagan from Snowball 37 reflecting on his upcoming show.
In my attempts to clear room on my hard drive, I accidentally deleted the RAW file for my entry. The original photo was supposed to be the food face but when I saw the image on the screen, the reflection of Babe Ruth was so clear that I forgot about the food face. Babe Ruth was not there & this is not altered. I tried thinking it looked like Johnny Cash, but it really looks alot more like Babe Ruth. What do you think?
I was a slacker last week & did not leave comments on all of the other entries. I apologize. I have been actively researching SXSW for my upcoming trip & working a bunch.

SAPCC #23 – Run
My original idea was to set up all of my sneakers on the treadmill & capture them running. I did not have the hands nor the means to facilitate this nor was I able to find Run from RunDMC. If this was last week’s theme though, I would have gone to Comic Con to meet DMC. Oh, how clever that would have been. So, you are stuck with a picture of the Adidas I bought before my first trip to Yankees’ Spring Training in 2000. You see, I was a fanatic fan back then. The official shoe of the Yankees was Adidas & there was a version of “My Adidas” on the Yankees’ soundtrack so if I wanted to be prepared for batting practice, I needed Adidas too.
“We make a mean team my Adidas & me. We get around together, rhyme forever & we won’t be mad when we’re caught in bad weather…”
