Ready For The Derby

I've made my Derby pick - it's Street Sense. Like so many others, I'll be glued to the TV tomorrow afternoon for the most exciting two minutes in horse racing. It is, of course, Louisville's premier event. Having been to a couple of Derbys back in the day, I can attest to the fact that you probably get a better perspective of the race from your living room then you do in the infield. You at least get a better view of the race. I use to call my parents on Derby Day. I miss being able to do that - and particularly hearing "My Old Kentucky Home" playing in the background as we talked. It makes me sad knowing that I can no longer share the Derby with them. They were both big fans of horse racing.

I'm using my new scanner for a variety of scanning jobs. Today's post is of a picture that I took several years ago using a Minolta 35mm camera; it's a shot I took at Universal Studios. Since I recently saw Sherlock Holmes at the B Street Theatre, I guess I might have been a little predisposed when I was sorting through my old 35mm pictures. I liked what i saw when I looked through the camera lens years ago - and I still like the image today. Something about Sherlock that just stays with you, I guess.
