Alli and I were driving home from a retreat, we saw this sign and realized we HAD to turn around to get some pictures. Then we took the exit, trying to find said insects. No luck.

on my way to Harrod’s in London I saw the High and Mighty shop. Then I noticed the Please Mum sign. Since I like tall guys it all kinda came together for me.

I love this part of the Cleveland airport. I was listening to Such a Night by Elvis when I took this picture, resisting the urge to dance through the [mostly] empty hallway.

I was interested in how perspective can make a small sand dune look like a mountain.

isn’t this SO WEIRD? I was on a college campus with some friends and we saw this sign posted outside a dorm.

I bet the actors cringe when they see this stuff. Or maybe they’re laughing all the way to the bank…

after days of rain I went for a walk; love the dark, waterlogged tree bark.

a guy at Newport Beach was randomly making huge bubbles and drawing a crowd of kids. I snapped a bunch of pics; was pleasantly surprised to see how this one turned out.

At Urban Outfitters you can buy the Stay-Puft marshmallow man from the 1984 movie Ghostbusters. Have people in their 30s and 20s even seen this movie? Curious.
