Screw you straight lines

A Very Hidey Christmas

Continuing in the tradition of the Hidey descendants gathering on Christmas evening, all gathered at Grammy's adjoined apartment...

Diva time

Dinner at Mamma Lucia

The new one near Best Buy and Trader Joes off 108 and 175. Went there with Sam, J, Judy, and Julie.

Well, this is what we ate. Looks delicious doesnt it?

Stop moving so fast you guys. You are just so blurry. Unfortunately this is the only picture I took of you two.

By request of Judy. I wouldn't post it otherwise. Just kidding.

I think this is kind of cool, artsy-ish

National Cathedral

Jim Baker and I went to the national cathedral in DC yesterday. We also ate really good Mexican food at the Cactus Cantina, which is right nearby, so if you are ever in the area, I recommend at least going there and getting the free tortilla chips (we got two baskets between the two of us).

I think this picture is very iconic

View from the outside (I know the branches are kind of distracting)

I learned that stained glass windows are hard to photograph

This statue creeps me out

View of the altar


Really random statue I think

New Camera!

Well sort of. Got it about a month ago. Rebel XT and the 50 mm f/1.8

Fun with depth of field

View from Sharon's Apartment (Flatiron Building on the right)

Not sure what my fascination is with neon lights

Portrait of the artist as an old man

Well that's all for now. If it didn't take so long to upload pictures there might be more of them.

U of M Chapel

I guess I was going for the artsy look with these photos

the chris hidey shot

Good lighting

Church near Arundel Mills

Alternatively... not sure which one is better... but this one feels more hemmed in since the top of the steeple is cut off

More...

I like the angles... although the color seems weird to me
