Oakland Township FD Open House

Okay, so I was going to hold off until tomorrow (well, later today, I guess) to post any of these, but there is something I really like about this photo. I’m not so sure if I’m happy with the cropping, but I do think that it may be the most wholesome, wholly American (whatever that means) photo that I’ve taken in some time. And for some reason I feel a bit proud of this shot. It’s actually a candid that came out well and such. I wish I could somehow get this photo to the kid’s parents. Maybe I’ll just somehow get a print or digital of it to the fire station.

Oh, this was taken when I stopped by the Oakland Township Fire Department’s open house. I was heading north on Rochester Road and came across this and figured that I’d stop and see what was going on there. In the picture above the fireman is showing the kid how to use a wee fire hose in order to push a ball across a field and between some traffic cones.

There will be other pictures — including those of a Geo Prizm (yes, quite similar to the one I had way back when) being cut up — a bit later. Probably tomorrow, although I’m also wanting to write basic HTML template for all multi-image posts to LJ, which will take some more time.

With regards to the new template, I’m thinking maybe one large image with text below it (similar to what I currently do) but with smaller thumbnail images down a column on the right? It’ll give it more flash… It’d be similar to this ad for the iSight Tripod Adapters but… better.

Anyway, now that it’s a good ways past my bed time, I think I should get to sleep. Goodnight.
