My very first thought when I saw this was "It's Mario Batali" and then my second thought was "thats a cool photo".
It looks like you thought it was him too based on the caption on Flickr. And if he really was wearing orange crocks, it had to be him. But anyway, I really do like the shot. The bus on one side and the car on the other frames it well and pulls you into it.OK, I have no idea why it isn't showing the quoted image, but it is the one right above me.

Ha thanks. It was Mario Batali indeed. I see him EVERYWHERE, this has gotta been the fifth or sixth times I've ran into him.
Let me introduce you to my new series, I'm having a blast make them and reliving some memories as I go. It's a collaborative series with my girlfriend, she provided the fonts and a couple images and I did the rest. Hope you like it!
White House
White House
Next time I go down there I will have to bring a wider lens, set up differently and take some better shots. It was just sooo cold that I set up, took a couple snaps and left almost immediately.
What part of sydney is this? i'm currently living there, recognize the ferry, but not the buildings, other side of harbor bridge?
The Angel Oak
I took this on Wednesday. It is an HDR of the Angel Oak, a 1500+ year old Oak tree on Johns Island, SC, thought to be one of the oldest living trees in the USA.

^^ Red shoes jumped out to me, too.
The commercial, "Where did you get those shoes?" came to mind before I saw Keleko's comment!
Keleko: Very moving, but without your comment , I would not have recognized it for what it is. Perhaps a different angle -- with the long end of the cross on the lower edge would have made it more recognizable? Or zoomed out a little bit to show the end of the beams? Just a thought ...
The cross is very large. It is probably 10' tall. The rose would be lost if I had more cross in the frame I have a further back shot with some more roses on it, but it just didn't invoke the same feeling for me. The long end of the cross in the shot I posted is the bottom right pole.
Here's the other angle I took. This one was taken right at the end of the service while there were still roses on the cross. People were coming up to take one home, so I had very little time to set up and get this between people coming up. My pastor kinda shooed me away because he wanted people to have space, too, so I only got two shots with multiple roses still on the cross. The first one I posted I did later after everyone had left. My daughter placed the one rose.
As you can see, I still didn't get the entire cross because of its size. The shadow is from the cross hanging from the ceiling above. Personally, the single rose invokes more of a feeling for me than the many roses. I wish I could have gotten a picture when all the roses were still there, but that wasn't possible at all because that only happened during the service.
