Mice close NY home of $25,000 dessert
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Manhattan restaurant that unveiled a record-breaking $25,000 (12,200 pounds) dessert last week has been forced to shut its doors temporarily due to an infestation of mice and cockroaches.

We had another good turnout last Saturday for the November IndyFlickr photowalk. The weather was beautiful (once the sun came out and it warmed up a bit). I’ll have a post recapping it on photowalking.org in a day or two.
I didn’t plan on it when I went, but I ended up taking most of my [...]
In my previous post I talked a little about my new favorite lens for my main camera. This shot is a perfect example of why I wanted to get a good fast lens. On a purely technical level, if what you’re looking for is tack sharp focus and perfect composition, this photo sucks.
But as a [...]
I couldn’t have taken this photo last week. Not because the rugrat wouldn’t have posed (although that’s difficult enough to do on the best of days), but because up until last Friday the main lens on my Canon 300D was the kit lens that came with the camera.
I just got a Canon EF 28 mm [...]
The IndyFlickr photo group had our October photowalk through Crown Hill Cemetery here in Indianapolis last Saturday. The weather was perfect, the early morning light made for some wonderful shooting, and I’m finally beginning to suss how to get the shots I want when I’m shooting IR with the Minolta DiMAGE7.
I’ll be writing up a [...]
I was never a boy scout, but their motto “Be prepared” is good advice when you want to get good spur of the moment photos. This shot is a good example, from the time I first realized the moon was coming up behind the clouds to when I got this photo was only about 5 [...]

A couple of weekends ago I had the urge to go out shooting some long exposures, but didn’t want to drive around in the country looking for dark areas to shoot star trails. So I headed downtown and spent a couple of hours wandering around White River State Park and the downtown canal shooting things. [...]
I spent last night with a good group of folks walking around downtown Indianapolis photowalking. It’s an informal group formed on Flickr. Although it’s sorta kinda organized around a Flickr group, I tend to think of it more along the lines of just a photowalking group.
The weather was perfect, we started out with an early [...]
…light pollution that is.
It seems like it’s taken no time at all to go from daytime temperatures in the mid-90’s, where the nighttime temperature cools down to the mid-80’s, to full blown fall weather, with the nighttime temperatures dipping into the 40’s. This is actually about my favorite time of year. So with a new [...]
