June is Pride Month! Yeah, I'm running behind. What else is new?

I'd sort of assumed I'd be getting an e-mail to remind me to re-up with Friends of Pride...but if they sent one I managed to miss it. I renewed my membership today and just in time. Pride Parade is a week from Saturday and I want to be in the stands with the very pretty men handing out sugar water energy drinks again this year. Hopefully, Amy will be available to go again this year because I got two tickets. If not, I'll have an extra ticket if someone here in Houston wants to stand outside on a June night in Houston. (Did I mention that today's heat index is supposed to be 103 degrees?)

Talked to [livejournal.com profile] mrkamikaze at the car show on Sunday and he recommended Noise Ninja for improving photo quality. My particular camera has a smallish chip and so much noise in low light situations. Like a Pride Parade at night. I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do for my pics this year.

I promise, I'll stop spamming your flists soon. [livejournal.com profile] mrkamikaze turned his lens on the car show for us last Sunday and took some wonderful photos. I'm in love with the photos he took.

Ever wanted to see what $100 million worth of cars looks like? Here's the amazing panorama photo that he took. He stitched together an unholy number of pics to get that and I'm totally blown away.

He has some details that he took available at his main blog, here in a post entitled Classy Chassis II.

Thank you to Jay for coming out and photographing. He captured the sense of the cars as art in the detail shots. I'm especially fond of those because, as someone who is not wise in the ways of cars, I tend to appreciate the cars on display as works of art.
