Art Hill > September 11, 2008 Our cats, Jake and Joey.  They are brothers - 11 years old.  We got them from a shelter when they were just a few weeks old.  They are great buddies and most mornings look out our front window like this.  I used to shoot a lot of pictures of them (before grandkids) but not much lately.  I like this one - it represent how close they are.

Yesterday was not a good day. I was notified at 10:00 that I was being laid off from Microsoft where I have worked for the past 8 years.  Today is my last day. It was devastating news. I got my first job in 1968 and have never been fired until yesterday.
And thanks to all for the overwhelming response to my shot of Joey yesterday.

Update September 22, 2009: Imagine my surprise to see comments on this 9 month old picture today. I am still unemployed but we're getting by. Had a great summer with the grandkids. Getting used to watching how much we spend on things.

Art Hill > September 10, 2008 There are street vendors all over New York City.  A few sell ties.  I just thought this would make an interesting image.

We never know where we're going to find him.
We'll be out of town for a few days and I'll not be online much.  Have a great week.

We had dinner at a place called Sundowner's.  This was what we saw.  Today is our last day in Key Largo.
Art Hill > June 30, 2009 Chicago's Lakefront
I'm standing in front of the Shedd Aquarium for this shot. The tallest black building on the left is the Sears Tower. The right most black building is the 70 story Lake Point Tower, once billed as the world's tallest apartment building.  The area with boats is Monroe Harbor.  The area between the buildings and the water is Grant Park, proudly referred to as Chicago's "front yard,"

I take a lot of pictures of my grandkids. It's not easy to do. I've never had much luck getting them to pose so I just shoot pictures as they play. Some days when I go through the batch I don't find any that really hit me.  Lots of okay ones and a few pretty good ones. Every once in a while though I get some I really like.  This is one of those. She is 2 years and 3 months old. Show me a cuter two year old :-)
I have so much fun with her.
Art Hill > January 28, 2009 Fish at Rain Forest Cafe
I've never had very good results shooting fish in aquariums. We had lunch at the Rain Forest Cafe and they had some large well lit tanks so I took a few pictures on the way out and thought they turned out pretty good. Not cropped, this is the full frame.  And there were no crowds as there ususally are at the regular aquariums. A few more fish shots over here
