Joe said...: HDHouse, for once a decent comment...I'd say she has a graduate assistant take the more challenging ones for her, that of Meade.; 8/26/10, 10:49 AM
Opus One Media said...: How you keep from hurting yourself taking these photos perhaps?--- but I suspect that it is reflections at Fountain Square...just a hunch.; 8/26/10, 10:51 AM

Joe said...: ...that is totally unfair. my comments are always decent. I'm hurt by that.

Obviously not badly hurt enough to keep you from posting....next time, try reading a comment whilst standing in traffic...that should do the trick.

I was thinking stair case, but I don't hink so now...so mayhap it IS a fountain.; 8/26/10, 10:57 AM

Paddy O said...: I'm puzzling over translating German theology. When he's not making sense is that him just not making any sense or my not being able to make sense of him?; 8/26/10, 11:29 AM
Unknown said...: Why does the phrase, "Hanging by her knees over the handrail in the maintenance stairwell", keep coming to mind?; 8/26/10, 11:57 AM
Opus One Media said...: @eductcher...well that is your mind at work (EOM); 8/26/10, 12:10 PM
jungatheart said...: Althouse got fall-down drunk in Cincy, fell down, and was knocked out on impact with the sidewalk. Coming to, in a haze of painkillers, she insisted that Meade hand her the camera, and those are pics of the emergency room divider curtains.; 8/26/10, 12:18 PM

Scott said...: I used to get lovely mistakes when I had my old Nikon FM.

With digital, it's hard to get the same level of visual serendipity without faking it in Photoshop.

I wonder how she did that.; 8/26/10, 12:36 PM

And then deleted? I'm confused; 8/26/10, 1:41 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: Its EXIF file says this is a digital photograph taken by Sony DSC W220, 1/4 second shutter, wide open aperture, ISO 160. It captures the light at the top of a Cincinnati building reflected off the side of a second Cincinnati building.; 8/26/10, 1:49 PM

It's a computer program Althouse has...HDHouse makes a good comment and it's deleted...all designed to keep House's consistency stat's up.; 8/26/10, 1:50 PM

Ann Althouse said...: It's one of those tunnels through a mountain (in Colorado) and the camera was moved in the moving car in a way that Meade can't remember.

I was in Wisconsin at the time, so it's none of my doing.

And hdhouse deleted his own comment, whatever it was.; 8/26/10, 10:52 PM
