There was a time when I had two passions/obsessions in life: Dr. Martens and the Beatles!

Weekly photo challenge: habit (Please read. It’s not what you think it is!)

This is my fifth participation in the Weekly photo challenge. This week’s theme is a habit. I had to take the other route on this one. Not that I don;t have any habits, but every time I think of a habit I think of smoking.

Resting Rolls-Royce

It’s not every day that you see a Rolls-Royce on the streets of San Francisco (or anywhere else, really). So I thought I’d take a few shots of the one I spotted in Chinatown last weekend.

The Offspring were pretty fly

This post is more about the experience than the photography. I found these old (not so old) photos in a folder from 2009. The Offspring gave a free concert at the Warfield in San Francisco on July 31, and a friend of mine was able to get tickets. Ha! Anyway, these photos were taken with a point-and-shoot, thus the first sentence.

Villers Abbey: open-air archeology

Fort Breendonk: part of the Nazi machinery of terror (part I)

Although the weather hasn’t been nice these days, I still try to get out and take pictures every weekend. Last weekend I went to Fort Breendonk. I’d been there once when I was a kid and I remember feeling the same thing I felt this time around: Men are inhumane, cruel and cowardly.
