About the Banner #34
An explanation of our last banner, AFTER THE JUMP...
I shot this photo in early October on a trip to visit my friends John and Paul in the Catskills, upstate New York. Paul is totally into leaf-peeping so we did a bit of that. This was just a random house we were passing across a large field. I cropped and flipped the photo, darkened it a bit, and added a tilt-shift effect to make it feel miniature. In a final bit of editorializing which was ultimately unreadable, I dropped an Obama campaign sign in the front yard.

Wow. I'm impressed. It really did look like you had photographed a miniature house with fake little miniature trees around it.

Did not notice the sign until just now. I like the tilt-shift effect you've been adding lately. Are you just Gaussian blurring the top and bottom of the image?

The Obama sign, totally sub-lim-in-ah-ble. Love it.

I wonder if Elton (EVERYONE should be satisfied with being second class like me) John is proud of himself now that he has become the poster-boy for the homophobes that shamefully lied and intentionally mislead voters in their campaign to strip away the rights of tax paying, law abiding, loving and committed gay and lesbian couples?
Something tells me that he is too self absorbed and detached to really give a sh*t about what happens to the little people.

What's up with the current banner. Looks like some cute boy reading, is that you?

I've come to look forward to the banners, much in the same way as when google changes theirs on special days.
