Messing with the blogging world since 2005

Foto Friday: The archives

February 10, 2012

My external hard drive is starting to fill up. That pretty much means I need to start shifting some things and deleting, or I might not have room for a lot of photos.

I have three external hard drives, but two of them are full and the third, which is a terabyte, doesn’t have much left. I know there’s a lot of waste on all three of them. So, over the next few weeks, it’s my hope to really clear a lot of space. In the end, I’d like to have the TB drive be all photos only — so I can get an online backup service as well.

Anyway, as I do that, I got peeking at some older photos. And that got me interested in looking at some older photos on Flickr, too. So, in this post, I am going to share some of my favorite (or not so favorite) photos from the Flickr archives. Things are going to be random. I am going to hit a few random pages and snag a photo of those pages and share them here.

I’m hoping to head out and shoot some fireworks tonight, so if things come out as I hope, I’ll look to share what I did and such with the images next Friday.

Ahhh, this past September. We got some unseasonably warm weather and this page was basically filled with sports photos — a softball tournament and some flag football. Here’s one of those shots.

Foul ball!

I had been catching up on posting some images, including from my trip to Ireland in 2010. Those photos were on this page.

Good advice!

From April of last year, my trip to the Washington DC area and Arlington National Cemetery.

The unknown plots are extremely moving. There are far too many.

Ahhh, the Ireland trip. This wasn’t long after getting back. This was a shot I took in Howth.

The Oneonta Outlaws. Love some of the shots on this page.

Pitch coming in.

Stay off!

This big snowstorm at the end of February 2010 shut down local schools and even the local college. A great day to be out taking photos!

Snow!

Downtown Montreal at night. I took this photo from Mont Royal in August of 2007.

Montreal!

I hope you enjoyed a slight trip through the archives with me. I’m sure as I get going through these external drives, I’ll be sharing more — and uploading a lot more to Flickr. I want to get a lot more of my photos on Flickr and put them together as sets. That way, they are there for all to see!

Day Zero Project: Completed No. 49

December 12, 2011

The Changing of the Guard ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery was one of the most intense things I've ever watched. I did it during a trip to Arlington.

A Day Zero Project goal of P.J.’s has been completed!

Goal completed: Travel to 5 new cities I have never been before.

Date completed: Labor Day Weekend, 2011.

Number: 49  (remember, these goals will not all be done in order. It’s a random list where the numbers actually are).

Description:  To visit five cities I hadn’t been to before, whether it be a day trip or several days.

Why I wanted to do it: Why not? Seemed like a pretty cool goal!

How I did it: With having a little “extra” time this year, I got done with this one a little quicker than I thought I would. Alas, it started last year and I finished it this past Labor Day.

The cities I visited were:

  • Portland, Maine.
  • Washington, D.C.
  • Arlington, Va.
  • Chicago, Ill.
  • Worcester, Mass.

Now, I realize they aren’t all the most exciting places in the world. Alas, it was just to help me find some new places. (A side note, I was in DC and Arlington when I was really, really young. But, I don’t remember any of it. Therefore, I am counting them). The reality is, I enjoyed each city I went to. I did more in some than others. For example, I was in the Chicago area for several days, but only spent one full day in the city. I got to see and roam Washington D.C. a bit and Arlington was spent mainly at a friend’s place and the national cemetery. I explored Portland quite a bit and enjoyed my time there. I stayed outside of Worcester for a few days, but had the chance to see a little of the city and eat there.

For the most part, I had a reason to visit each of these places. I had friends in the D.C./Arlington area; I was seeing a friend graduate from Navy basic training in the Chicago area; I went to Worcester and surrounding places because of a disc golf tournament and Portland, well, it seemed like a fine place to visit. I had wanted to go to Maine and head to Bar Harbor, but weather made me decide to stick it in Portland for a few days instead and I’m glad I did!

Overall, it was fun seeing these cities — even as much or as little as I was in them. For the most part, if I knew I was going to spend time in the city, I used TripAdvisor a lot to pick places to eat and then utilized geocaching and such to help me find some cool places to see. I hope, before this Day Zero project of mine is over, that I have the chance to visit a few more cities to add to this list.

About P.J.’s Day Zero Project: Day Zero is a project where people come up with 101 things to do over 1001 days. I started the project on Oct. 10, 2010 with an anticipated finish date of July 8, 2013. Goals will not be revealed until they are completed. A private list is at the Day Zero website  and the list will be made public upon completion of the project. It’s my thoughts that if things are kept private, should I not do them, change or find a way around it, I’d only be cheating myself.

I wrote this about Sam Nader during a public celebration of his 100th birthday. I'm sure I'll have something more in the next day or so as well, but this covers a lot about my thoughts of this amazing man. RIP, Sam. You'll be missed.
