Ya know... we all need to learn to turn the volume down a little on our iPods! Look at that window.... think what her ear drums look like!

This is so great, Still! I'm glad you waited for someone in an explosive color too! Would not be the same with someone in blue.

this photo permeated my dream 2 nights ago, and i only just remembered it when i returned to your stream again today.
in the dream i found a battered old camera, like a cross between a bronica and a 35mm rangefinder, and when i looked through the viewfinder it looked like that smashed window/poster.
i was walking around framing shots with peoples heads positioned perfectly in the hole, like yours!
