Just thought I'd blow my own horn and call attention to a few new photos that I've added to the photo gallery on the left side of this page.
Now that winter is upon us, getting out and about in the wheelchair to take pictures is a bit of a hassle, what with socks and sweaters and jackets and scarves and gloves and such to be put on using gimpy appendages, and the shortened daylight hours pose a challenge to those of us who prefer our mornings to be early afternoon. As a friend of mine once said, "being awake is overrated", a sentiment I certainly share at times, especially when the temperature dips below 30°F. Sitting in a wheelchair doesn't afford one the opportunity to generate much body heat, and frozen tootsies are especially unpleasant when you can't move them all that much. Icy fingers also make operating my wheelchair mounted camera just that much harder, so suffice it to say that photography isn't quite as pleasurable for me in the winter as it is in the other three seasons. Still, winter does have considerable beauty...
For those of you who have been clamoring for some new Wheelchair Kamikaze videos, I'll tease you with the knowledge that I have the raw footage for two new videos just waiting to be edited into viewable form, but I've been a bit lazy in getting around to actually working on them. I will soon, although I'm still nursing the wounds from not being nominated for this year's Academy Awards. Admittedly, I might be biased, but certainly "Wheelchair Kamikaze: In Search of Audrey Hepburn" should have gotten the nod over "Avatar"...
In any event, here are the new photos, taken over the last three months. The shot of the homeless man was taken on a day when the temperature topped out at 25°F, in a city where three-bedroom apartments sell for $6 million. I'm no marxist, but that just doesn't seem right... (click each to see the full-size version):
