Yup, I’m so there.
Taking photos in public
Thomas has an interesting take on taking photos of folks in public over on the nanolog — and specifically taking photos of the homeless.
I have no idea who the chap is in the pic nor do I have any thought as to why he considered it acceptable to photograph the Soup Van and the queue of folks waiting to be served.
I actually was quite blatant about taking the photo… but either he didn’t notice or didn’t care.
I found his behaviour rude and… if I am honest… rather dangerous.
We do not take photographs as a rule because we don’t want to put a barrier between us and the folks we serve… some of which would prefer not to have their photo taken.
He was rude because he didn’t ask… and he took a chance because he would have met with some strong opposition if he’d been spotted.
In hindsight… whilst I appreciate what he’s trying to do… it still seems wrong to me and probably explains why I prefer to take pictures of buildings or people I know. People need a choice….
People deserve the common courtesy to be asked whether or not they wish to have their photo taken. Not an easy task considering the number of folks present.
DCCCD :: It all begins here
A while back I was an extra for a new DCCCD TV commercial.
Colleen just posted several of the new commercials on YouTube for your viewing enjoyment.
Here’s the one with me in it (twice).
See if you can spot me.

Toy alternatives
Here’s one for my cousin (and others with children) :-):
Unclutter and Lifehacker both have a number of great ideas for entertaining kids for cheap… without the TV.
For under a buck you can entertain your kids with:
Large cardboard boxes
Rubber band and pencil crazy bot
Paper poppers
Home Depot Kids Workshop
Planting something
and more…
I’d also like to add a whoopee cushion to the list.
Some other ideas for younger kids:
Paint brushes with water
Laundry times
Magazines
Household chores
Computer Time
What other cheap alternatives have you found to all those many many many many toys for kids out there?
Is that your phone ringing?
My phone’s been ringing off the hook since breakfast.
