I used my large, expensive camera to take photos that look like they were taken by a cell phone:

God, I don’t get in touch often, but right now I am.  Please, please do not let this happen:

For those of you who don’t know, this sign indicates this person wants Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to become president in 2012.  Jan Brewer, who passed that ridiculous immigration law to lead America, full of immigrants, includes the person who writes this blog.

Boston is interesting.  Every weekend there seems to be a protest of some kind.  I’m not sure if I understand this, but it sure does make for some good photos.
