Where Did This Come From?

So this movie appeared in my mail box.

I don't remember putting it on my Netflix queue. Really.

Never heard of it before. Had no idea it existed.

But there it was.

So Betty Boop and I watched it tonight, and it was kinda delightful. And goofy.

And weird. But in a good way.

Like, half and hour into the movie, everything shifts and you realize something else altogether is happening. But I can't say anymore, without ruining the movie for you.

You should check it out.

Weird and funny.

I haven't been out and about with the camera in quite a while.

Yesterday, though, I was inspired to haul my ass out of bed at 8 a.m. and trooped (trouped?) all over Brooklyn (or, at least, my parts of it), just snapping photos. I came upon this poor old Mustang in a vacant lot off Vanderbilt Avenue. It looked so lonely.

I eventually found my way to Prospect Park, where I caught this young guy with his family, practicing a little futbol. It was just him and his two sisters, so you can imagine there weren't a whole lot of team drills going on. But his dad sure did make a nice setup, no? Look, a goal!

I wandered around at sunset on Saturday night and took some photos as well. Someday I'm going to learn to stop trying to take pictures in really low light. I'm just dumb that way.

Long ago, when I first moved to Brooklyn, something like six years ago – and maybe three laptops ago – I took a picture similar to this one. There's something about the columns at the entrance to Prospect Park that are really freaking cool. And since the last time I took a pic like this one, they've added the cool lights.

That photo, of course, was lost when my first laptop went south. The very laptop, ironically, that was the cause of the hardest time of my life. So far.

But that's a story for another time.

Anyway, I wandered around the park after dark and basically took a lot of blurry pictures. But I liked some of them, so I share them with you.

I actually kinda like the colors on these shots, even if the shots themselves are kinda sucky.
