24 Jan 09 Arthur Ravenel Jr Bridge At Sunset
Half a dozen of us met up yesterday for a photo walk. The idea was simply to take some photographs while walking the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge.
The plan worked quite well.
The sunset was quite nice, although, in a place where sunsets can often yield quite glorious colored skies, this wasn’t the best that nature can offer.
The temperature was in the low fifties, but, once high up on the middle of the bridge, and certainly once the sun began to fall, along with the wind coming off the Cooper River, the temperature rapidly began to fall.
We had a variety of cameras, from DSLRs to cellphone cameras, and everyone got some interesting shots and angles
All in all, it was a pleasant event, and something that the 21 Century Photography Meet Up Group will be repeating in different locations around the Charleston area.

18 Sep 08 The Fashion Police
It’s a free country right? You can disagree with the Government if you like, and you won’t (in theory at least) get throw in jail. However, whatever you do, make sure you’ve got your pants pulled up first in some cities. At least one judge has seen sense over that, and ruled it unconstitutional after a 17 year old was arrested in Riviera Beach, Florida, for exposing 4 inches of boxer shorts, due to wearing loose fitting jeans, and spent the night in jail.
Now, I was raised at a time when, as a kid, I had to wear a collar and tie if we went to visit relatives, especially on a Sunday. I can clearly remember my father complaining when someone came into our local community club on a Sunday wearing jeans. However, having to dress up when going out with family members or having a club dress code is completely different to telling a citizen going about their business how they can and can’t dress.
Personally, I think the saggy jeans look untidy, slovenly, and well, crap. I also think that baseball caps worn backwards look stupid too. However, it should be everyone’s right to dress however they darn well please, as long as they are not exposing themselves.
Talking of which, it seems it’s OK for upskirt photographs of celebrities wearing NO underwear to be flashed (pun intended) around the world, but not OK to show underwear itself.
Oh, it’s not only the backwaters that are looking at such silly ideas either. Dallas, TX, and Atlanta, GA, are also considering similar proposals.
What’s next? No sunglasses after dark? No shirts carrying logos of foreign companies? Where does it end?
