Below is an excerpt from my travel blog. Cheers.
Shopping for a Christmas Tree is a little different in New York City than in most places. You can't just pull your car up to tree farm, cut down a tree and haul a pine smelling bundle away to be decorated. It is however a tradition and fun never-the-less. It's great walking through these Christmas Tree Stations in the city. The smell is nostalgic. It's getting to be that time of the year again. I snapped this photo in the East Village.

I've been following a lot of the geographic photo based applications made available as of recently. One of the more well known applications is Google's street view application on their maps. Basically you can zoom into a particular area in the world and more than likely you'll have the option to view the street. Google has accomplished this feat by sending out a fleet of cars rigged with cameras. People, however, are attacking Google in light of the recent privacy scare. One ridiculous case which makes me laugh is a privacy lawsuit against Google which was recently settled for the amount of .00. A couple (ironically named Christine and Aaron Boring) apparently decided to sue Google for driving down their private road. The 'Boring' couple even applied to appeal the Supreme Court but were denied. The freedom to sue whoever you feel like is never abused here in the United States of America. The article is here if you're interested.

I shot this last year, having just started out in HDR I didn't grab the right amount of tonal range and as a result the trees in some areas are blown out. Trial and error:).

My past cars - the LeSabre

I can't believe that I never put up my 'glamor photos' of the cars of my life. It's entirely surprising. So, here they are! Normally, I blur out the license plate, but considering the plate expired about 7 years ago, I'm not very concerned.

This is my brother's Buick LeSabre Custom, 1990. When I broke my leg, I needed transportation, and somewhere along the line, I just ended up keeping it. I think that by the time I was done with it, my brother had already moved to NYC.

There was rust damage all over, as is expected for any car driven in Michigan. Otherwise, the body wasn't bad. There was some trim damage, and also the big dent in the rear bumper where I backed into a lampost (DOH).

Over the course of driving it, I did the following: new right front rim and control arm due to hitting a curb, lens tape to rear taillight from rear collision, completely rebuilt transmission, replaced brake lines x 2, exhaust pipe repair, battery, taillight electric work, headlight bulbs, 4 new tires x 2 (the wheels were repaired or replaced so often that I had the shop remove the hubcaps)... I think that's it. All in all, a lot of money went into the car, but it served well during med school.

What you can't see in this picture is that there is also a big burn on the front fender from where I hit the power line for the house. It burned straight to the metal.

The straw that broke the camel's back was the alternator. It gave out stranding me at exit 1 on US 23 just on the Michigan side. I went to the Honda dealership 2 days later and picked out an Accord. Best decision I ever made.

I gave my brother the old plate for it. I kept the stuff in the glove box and also the coin holder. I offered it to Gene, but he turned it down! It's actually in my current car now.
