New layout. Obviously. Lately I've been feelin' the warm colors, so here's the orange. Let me know if it hurts your eyes.

The photos change every time you refresh. All of them were taken by me. I'll give a little run through--

The one of a guy looking over his shoulder is Gustavo Kuerten and was taken at the US Open. Good memories--you can read about it here.

The snake was captured on my camera when Suzanne and I visited the Central Park zoo last year (you can find the post under 22 February). I've always liked snakes--people say they're slimy but they're not--they feel all slithery and dry and cool.

The many glowing candles were taken in Paris, in Notre Dame. Though I don't care for organized religion, per se, I like churches. I ignore the morbid art usually, and breathe in the hush and echoes. And I've always had a thing for candles.

The Indian woman is Karina Kapoor, a Bollywood film star we saw filming around Paris. She had these gorgeous green eyes. I caught her in a pensive moment, sitting down.

The flower is from Monet's garden. If you don't know already, I've been a fan of Monet's ever since I was little and reading
Linnea in Monet's Garden. When I had the chance to visit the artist's garden, I was positively ecstatic and snapped as many flowers as possible.

The fireworks are circa senior summer in Chicago, when we visited Ayesha in her new house. We had such fun... the memories.

And the last one is obviously me.
