I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral...

I agree on the taking pictures of kids in the park thing. We have had a couple of instances around here where parents have confronted photographers shooting at soccer games. In every case it has been someone planning on providing pics to local newspapers or magazines. Too bad the world has gotten to be a place where I understand the parents concern!
Thanks for visiting my blog. As to your question, it is an office building. The spaced will be leased out so there is no company this is being built for. There is kind of a mini-building boom in office space here. Most of it must be on speculation because the buildings seem to be sitting empty for quite a while.
Louis thanks you for visiting "San Francisco Bay Daily Photo"!
I like your night photo, though. There is something magical about making night pictures, don't you think?
THE PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN RAH RAH RAH....!!!
My eyes went really wide and started darting around and.....no one batted an eyelid!!
They didn't even look at him nor was one single eyebrow raised.
Must be some sort of regular occurrence!
(and I was the one with the camera, not him!)
Chuck, I like the night time shots, but I'm rarely out after dark these days!
I think the thing that makes me most uncomfortable about taking photos of kids is that it really is just silly. Even if the photo was for 'unsavoury' purposes, is it worth having kids huddled in fear at the world? Or having the 99.999 percent of people who don't get their kicks in that way threatened or worse? Kids have never been more safe than they are today, we should celebrate that, not look for new things to frighten them.
