They are watching you

I am amazed at these new spy drones.

This one really reminds me of the big white security ball (Rover) in "The Prisoner"

Click on this link to read more & see a really cool video of the drone in action:

This next one is video of a hummingbird shaped drone & it is amazing. I know I wouldn't think twice about a small hummingbird in my backyard unless it followed me into my house.

Went to New Orleans for a few days. I love New Orleans & can't wait to go back. I could take photos all day long for days. I also love Abita beer & all the food.
Here are some of my favorite photos I took with my Holga:

You can see lots of other photos from New Orleans below on my Flickr page:

Mini-Movie Reviews

The Lives of Others
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lives_of_Others

I really liked this movie. It's a spy movie & a love story. It did not have the typical happy ending but still has a "feel-good" quality to it.

Orpheus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orpheus_(film)

If you love artsy fartsy black & white movies than this is your movie. I really enjoyed it. I hope that when death comes for me she is a beautiful french woman.

Onibaba
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onibaba_(film)

This is also an artsy black & white movie. Loved the camera work. Good story based on a old Japanese fable. It's got greed, hunger, lust, jealousy, violence & sex.

Neon Market

Developed some old film

Finally took a roll of film to be developed that had been in an old plastic fisheye camera since October 2009. A few pictures are more recent but this film is so old I'm lucky anything came out.
