Monty Python’s 40th Anniversary

Posted in Uncategorized on October 27, 2009 by landdgrantblog

The past two weeks have been terrific with the celebration of the troupe’s 40th anniversary of the television broadcast.  I remember seeing them for the first time in about 1972 on PBS in New Jersey.  Whatever sense of humor I have was seeded with those first broadcasts.  Sirius satellite radio dedicated one channel for two weeks Santa Fe Skulls BWIRto replays of the Python’s skits and movies.  It was terrific to listen in but made one want more of the visual comedy.  The current photo was taken in Santa Fe (NM).  Once I got it back to the monitor it screamed the title for me.

Old Sacramento Escape

Posted in Uncategorized on October 27, 2009 by landdgrantblog

A recent trip to Sacramento and San Francisco (CA) made for decent shooting.  I have discovered an interest in fire escapes in Chicago and OldSacTown fire escapethe older structures in Old Sacramento had some great fire escapes.   The shadows and contrast from the metal of the escape with the brick is some great stuff.
