10. Damn, this would have been a good chance to practice manual

[alfredo]

12. It's alway a good time to practice manual, except when photographing kids and puppies.

I live in Lexington Ky, and basketball is king. What the university wants, it gets.

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. Or city councils

Record the meeting, take notes of the meeting, Facebook the fact you are at the meeting, FB and twitter if they actually make news, and shoot manual? No, cannot do all that. I barely do the rest, and I thank the gods for that recorder... or I would only be able to take notes.

[alfredo]

14. Our city council meeting should be fun now that they are trying to renovate the arena.

Funding and priorities have brought out the activist.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. You mean it is not just the press

at Council?

Serious, I am on a first name basis with the floor manager. He has two kids, we have two birds, we laugh.

Ok, when we had the Filner scandal we even had NATIONAL press from as far as New York show up in this culdesac, and get most of it wrong.

[alfredo]

16. Our university breeds activist, so the council never speaks to an empty room.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. Damn we have three manor universities, actually four

and community colleges up the ying yang and a few smaller private colleges. You'd think

[alfredo]

21. It's the students that stay here after graduation that have helped build a good

activist base. They are here by choice, not birth.

Outside agitators.

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. Good

[alfredo]

24. We don't just tolerate the outrageous, we celebrate the outrageous.

Henry Faulkner, Sweet Evening Breeze, Bradley Picklesimer, and Henry Earl are some that have gain fame, fortune, and good paying jobs.

Henry Earl. He's Number 1!

I'm not good with black & white. Not so good at photographing plants either for that matter, so I didn't submit an entry. Now that I see the competition, it's just as well.

Nicely done!
