They were joined by a new favorite, Old Jack. I had a day left on the Nikon 1.4 85mm lens I was renting this week and snapped these photos at the show. The lighting in the club seemed to be intentionally awful (too much red!) so I made most of the photos black and white. View the full set of photos on Flickr.

On Memorial Day Weekend, we’d cut the flowers and put them in mason jars to bring to relatives graves around northeastern Nebraska. Ever since then, peonies (and lilacs) have been my favorite flower. They only bloom for a few weeks in May and early June — not long enough! I took this photo of two pink peonies in Central Square in front of Betahouse.

They had the biggest crowd and came in first place. Now everyone within 100 miles of Boston needs to come out and see them at the Paradise. It’s happening sometime in May — TBD!]]> Sammy Miami at Church

Thanks to some help from Kristarella in the Thesis WordPress theme forum, I was able to make some tweaks to the photo blog category of sooz.com so the photos appear in an area that can accommodate larger photos. I need to do more tinkering but for now, here’s a photo I took a few months ago of a bunch of peonies at the Mount Auburn Cemetery. I’m optimistic winter will end eventually!]]> Peonies in Mount Auburn Cemetery

I’m going to start updating the site most days with a photo when the wordy entries don’t happen. You can always read my micro-tidbits over at twitter.com/sooz. When I first moved to Boston, Flathead and his little dog Potato were regulars in Harvard Square. This was back in 1994-1998(ish) before the square started to transform into more of a mall. Remember The Tasty Diner and Wursthaus? Flathead (aka Ned) was back in town in September and October this year and it was a blast of fun nostalgia to run into him as I was walking back to Harvard Square after a late Tuesday night enjoying the music of Session Americana with friends at the Lizard Lounge. I stopped to say hi to Flathead and ask if I could take a few photos and noticed that Potato wasn’t there — he had died a few years ago.]]> I haven’t been writing a lot of words on sooz.com lately — busy with client work and some other projects including Exploit Boston!.
