| GimpGirl Presentation @ Dreams Fair on Second Life |
[Apr. 20th, 2008|11:32 am] |
Here is a picture of me, in front of our giant TV screen, as ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) jennylin and I talk about ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) gimpgirl (AKA GimpGirl Community), at the Third Annual Dreams Community Fair in Second Life.
"The Third Annual Dreams Community Fair highlights health/support, educational, and artistic groups in SL. There are over 60 informational booths and close to 80 events scheduled by those groups and others."

Apparently I've become one of those people who seeks approval by submitting photos to groups on Flickr.
Well, only one group (so far, the Diabolic Lovers of Low Res and Booze). And only my "low-res" (camerphone) photos. My "real" photos, from the real camera, are not yet fit for judgment, even from a fairly easygoing group like the DBOLRLers (who only do low-res anyway).
They liked this photo I took on the bus, at night from San Jose to Santa Cruz, but they voted out my Big M at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History. Who knows how my next submission will fare...

| The Library of Congress put over 3100 pictures on Flickr |
[Jan. 17th, 2008|01:00 pm] |
The Library of Congress put over 3100 pictures on Flickr:
Library of Congress staff often make digital versions of our popular image collections available online as quickly as possible by relying primarily on the identifying information that came with the original photos. That text can be incomplete and is even inaccurate at times. We welcome your contribution of names, descriptions, locations, tags, and also your general reactions.
It's divided into two different sets:
1930s-40s in Color: These vivid color photos from the Great Depression and World War II capture an era generally seen only in black-and-white. Photographers working for the United States Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI) created the images between 1939 and 1944.
News events in the 1910s: Welcome to the daily news scene from almost a hundred years ago, as photographed by the Bain News Service in about 1910-1912. We invite your tags and comments! Also, lots more identification information. (Most of these old photos came to the Library of Congress with very little description.) This selected set of 1,500 photographs is from a large collection of almost 40,000 glass negatives. The entire collection spans 1900-1920 and richly documents sports events, theater, celebrities, crime, strikes, disasters, and political activities, with a special emphasis on life in New York City. |

Here is the Juan photo of the day... eating strawberries on the bus home from work (!) where I was bored and antsy, and he was totally well-behaved. What a guy. I'm obsessed, what can I say.

| Jen & I - "Intimate Encounters" reception |
[Jul. 11th, 2007|02:41 pm] |
My friend Jen and I at the reception for the opening of the "Intimate Encounters" disability & sexuality exhibit at the Museum of Sex in Manhattan.
Read a review from Wheelchair Dancer (whose shoes I dig); visit the photographer's website (not very accessible) which shows many of the photos.

A followup to my own Recess post and pics; I'm looking goofy in the middle during a rousing game of Hey! That's my Fish!

This is a bear. A black bear wearing a Hawaiian shirt, khakis, and slippers. In a wheelchair. (Click for larger, though photos do no justice)   He's been "built" and dressed, but he hasn't got a name yet. Perhaps I can ask the internet, and you, the internet, can help me find a name, like you did with a certain horse not too long ago. His name is Rolando. Really. Where he used to live: |

My descent into nerddom continues...
This weekend I went with matt_rah to Recess IX: The Undeadening, a quarterly gaming event held by NerdNYC. Lots more low-quality phone camera pics in the set.

This group photo from the wedding came out really well.
(HellYeah is a moo.)
Also the last photo I'll post from the wedding, especially of those that were not taken or otherwise uploaded by me.

We thought we were leaving early! Why else would we be scarfing down the yummy wedding cupcakes before everyone else??
Too bad Jess caught us in the act...

| I like this photo... |
[May. 26th, 2006|06:01 pm] |
Except, I should have taken off my glasses, and moved the camera on my lap. Don't know what my hand was doing, either.
Such a beautiful day, all around. There was even too much sun!

This was taken while having dim sum in Rosslyn, the day after pong's wedding, by the groom himself. Sam was my cheerful traveling companion.

| Dinner |
[Feb. 18th, 2006|11:55 pm] |
Rob came into town for the weekend, to visit his friend Joe. They came to visit me, and we had dinner at MaryAnn's (or Gloria's, depending on where you look) Mexican restaurant nearby. My chicken was on fire.
Rob likes taking photos without flash. They come out well. My hat is from Norway, or so we say. I like my hat.

| No Diving |
[Jan. 19th, 2006|06:45 pm] |
There is no diving off the piers in the city of White Rock (Vancouver area). Especially in that spot with all those rocks below. I was trying to be one of those people who can make pictures of signs look cool, with my disposable camera.

If you missed us at the winter concert, here we are for your viewing pleasure.
This is some of the Peace of Heart Choir goofing around in the cold after a fall/winter season rehearsal.
We've gotta get some better shots for the website, though.

Len and I were in Vancouver in Jan. 2003, along with lots of other people for a big event. It was nice, just the two of us out on a pier; I'd never been on one. Cynthia took this photo.

| Wacky photo claim to fame |
[Nov. 15th, 2005|04:38 pm] |
She's Claire!
In June of 1993, I reached the pinnacle of my stardom, starring as the lead alongside renowned violinist (and fellow person with a disability) Itzhak Perlman in a children's musical at Lincoln Center in New York City.
This was a script run-through, maybe a month before. I thought he was hi-larious. I was nervous, and even more prone to [loud, spazzy] laughter than I am now.
The photo probably appeared in the New York Newsday; the photo credit says Martin Reichenthal.
What is up with that outfit I'm wearing? I think I even liked it.
