Hey everyone, it is National Eat Outside Day…..unless you live in the desert. (I suppose we could eat outside if we wanted to, but for it to be comfortable outside we need it to be late at night – or we need to be visiting Mt. Charleston, which is kinda hard on a Monday – with work and school, etc.)
So, go outside if you like and enjoy the day!
This shot was taken on our road trip in 2008, somewhere in Nebraska.
Okay, so this one is not specific to Las Vegas, but this has to be the biggest sandwich I have ever seen, at least in person. This is the Motherlode sandwich from Claim Jumper. Claim Jumper is very much the ‘order based on what you want as leftovers’ kind of place. Same goes for desserts – I order one with the intent of taking four to five days to eat it.
Been really busy so have not been updating blog as much as I would like, but will get back in the swing shortly.
Today is National Waffle Day, celebrate with your choice of toppings….
National Waffle Day
Unfortunately, I feel obliged to do a post about the responses I have received regarding the chosen photograph for the Las Vegas photo walk. While I truly expected that there would be people who were not happy with the photo I selected, no matter what photo was selected, I did not expect some of the truly ugly feedback. First and foremost, this gathering was exactly that – a social activity with photographers. To spend time with people who have something in common. The contest was secondary – as could easily be noted by the few images that were actually submitted for the contest.
But let me set the record straight for those that have commented.
- The only people I knew prior to the walk were my family, and they were not eligible to win the contest.
- Photography is subjective. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect that.
- While on the subject of respect – I did not attack you personally with the photo I chose, so I am unsure why it is warranted and ‘okay’ for you to attack me personally.
- I also did not threaten anyone, so I am unsure why it is warranted and ‘okay’ for you to threaten me.
In the end, it was a great experience and I look forward to more in the future. I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at the chosen photos from all the walks around the world and I hope you do as well. There has not been a lot uploaded to the Flickr site, I hope to see more up there soon.
