January 2007 Archives
Cleveland is a city that gets a lot of crap. Cleveland has sustained the careers of many middling comedians. I spent a week in Cleveland--last week, in fact--and though it appears much of what the comedians say is true, it is a unique and surprisingly dramatic place. At least the weather was dramatic.
As the storm raged offshore in Lake Erie, my coworker and I explored the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Christmas Story House, a late night comedy club, and tried to find the brighter side of this gritty, industrial city on the northern edge of the United States. More photos, including that infamous leggy lamp, on the flip.
A little treat as I prepare a photo essay on...wait for it...CLEVELAND! All right, I did actually find some interesting pictures in Cleveland. Just think, tune in on Sunday for the Cleveland photo essay, and then You'll never have any reason to actually go there.
Some tulips in front of my home in Minnesota, Spring 2006.
Ok, so I went on a big experiment with Joomla, which, while technically fascinating, didn't cut it. So I'm coming back to the Susan the Human blog and hopefully will start updating again. Apologies to new readers who have dropped in to find posts well in the past. There's plenty here, though, and be sure to check out the Italy pictures (see link on right to "A Week in Rome")
as well as the other past collections. Prints are available for most photos here. If not already available on my Smugmug site please send me an email and I'm happy to make the photo available on Smugmug.
I'm traveling to Minnesota's Boundary Waters in two weeks, and to Cleveland, Ohio, next week, so we'll see which one photographs better. Ok, I'm being a bit snarky. But you never know what you might find in Cleveland...as for Boundary Waters, snow, ice, trees, cozy cabins...it should be good. Check back in at the beginning of February for new pics from new adventures.
