Brad Pitt and I share the exact same birthday (month, day, year) outside of that, our stories diverge considerably. Mr. Pitt went on to become an internationally famous superstar, while I have led the much more interesting life of the starving artist. I come from a long line of storytellers (whose gift for gab stretches back through the mists of time to our native Ireland) and professional malcontents who were seemingly born to create something in the arts, be it music, writing, sculpture, painting, or photography. I started writing at age 12 with a screenplay with my cousin Ryan about a planet where everyone looked like Elton John entitled "Don't I Know You?" More screenplays followed, several of which received epic Super-8 production with budgets that sometimes ran up to $10. A few even had sound!  More writing followed: songs, poems, short stories, numerous unfinished novels, etc.. Somewhere in there was an attempt at being a rock star...
Still living at home, at age 22, my father dropped an elderly Nikromatt 35-mm film camera into my lap, in the hopes that I would "make a go of it" as a photojournalist. That didn't happen, but I did develop an abiding love of photography that along with writing and archival work have been among the chief passions of my life. When it comes to my photography, I try to be as creative as possible while at the same time striving for a documentary/archival quality. The only set rules I adhere to, when it comes to making pictures are: 1.) Try not to make the picture blurry, and 2.) Don't drop the camera.

It's not a Janet Jackson type bra, but close enough and evidence, that someone has lost their undergear for a very noble course, I say, it's not the right size bra for this hydrant, I wonder what the TOS has to say about this ? love your sense of humour. Cheers BB

As a rather proper, English friend of mine would say: Oh dear! It's somehow funnier when he says it, but anyway. This is a hilarious shot, and it looks vaguely familiar. Fire hydrants around farther north than Hyde Park have been spotted with wigs and malfunctioning (or even functioning) wardrobes. I wonder if the same UofC students are responsible. I'd actually managed to snag a shot of a rather pink specimen if intimate apparel hanging rather incongruously from the door to a janitorial closet in a subway station. Kinda makes you wonder what happens behind that door! I love this shot. In so many ways, it's a Chicago piece of humor! I wonder if we'll see imported renta-palms sporting these next summer, in a variety of colors and cup sizes? Now THAT would be a tourist draw! I love this shot! It gave me a good sized cackle that evolved into a belly laugh. Great shot. You have a good eye for the absurd.

LOL! That's certainly one for the Show Me Your Fire Hydrant" thread! It's certainly unique! I never would have thought of dressing a hydrant, although in the past we've painted ours to look like little men in hats. Great capture!

What a scream! Thankyou for a great laugh.

OMG, this is GREAT--one town near here had the school kids paint all the fire hydrants different colors---they were so cool. Then "they" decided it was no longer good and repainted them a ghastly green!!
