Out and about…Geneva, NY
We had a family reunion earlier this month at the local fire hall. We not sure how we’re related to this girl.
Out and About…Austin, TX
Austin is packed with food trucks selling everything from Korean tacos to two-dollar cupcakes. It also has a really high number of tattoo artists per capita.
Out and About at SXSW…Austin, Texas
I got to go to South by Southwest Interactive this year, an annual gathering of hipster geeks from London to San Francisco. This attendee was probably live-tweeting the session, but I’m not sure because she skipped out before we could exchange cards.
Out and About… Canandaigua Lake, NY

Memorial Day weekend always kicks off the summer season here on Canandaigua Lake. I spotted this tattoo amongst a flotilla of boats tied together for the sole purpose of communal partying. If you look closely, you can see a hand print. I used my fisheye lens for this shot, which means that objects are much much closer than they appear.

The final few steps of the 50-mile North Face Endurance Challenge trail run at Bear Mountain, New York. And a shameless plug for the Rochester Running Page and Run Rochester.

This diving board protrudes from the roof of a boathouse and is just high enough to cause one to question why they ever decided to climb a ladder, walk across a pitched roof covered in hot shingles, and step out into space. The first-time jumper typically assumes the position depicted above… about a foot from the edge, hands on hips, looking down and saying “Hmmm, this is higher than I thought”.

This is the very first picture I took on my trip to California. I had forgotten about it until downloading all my photos from my camera when I got back home a week later. Now I’m wondering if his earring is also a clover.

A few hours before taking this photo I was introduced to sake bombs. I don’t remember anything else that happened that night. It was like when people used to take photos with film… I had no idea what I had photographed until the next morning.
Out and about…Philadelphia
My friend David and I stumbled across a little outdoor roller skating party. Not so tough as the chicks in these roller derby photos my brother got, but still fun.
Out and About… Dog Beach, San Diego, California
Photo by Ryan
While visiting a friend in San Diego, we happened upon a stretch of coastline called Dog Beach. I took many photos of four-legged subjects, and this one of a rather unique, although simple, tattoo. I don’t know who the subject is; I spotted the tattoo out of the corner of my eye while walking past and immediately crouched into the stealthy tying-my-shoe position (although I was wearing sandals).
Out and About…Bangkok
This is what Dad says about these photos:
The two guys in their underwear were standing along the canal during a boat tour we took with Mike and Eit. I grabbed a couple of pictures and told Urai to offer them 100 baht to let me take some better ones. She was speaking to them in Thai, but they apparently didn’t understand — they were probably illegal Burmese workers.
As soon as they saw the 100 B note in my hand, one of them jumped into the water and swam out to the boat to get it. Then they started asking for more money, and Urai thought it was best to leave…

Out and About…Washington, D.C.
I didn’t realize my friend Elizabeth had a tattoo on her ankle, until I spied it while she was playing with her son, Daniel, at the National Building Museum’s outdoor sculpture.
