My Grandmother gave this to me MANY years ago to store my coin collection in. Only in the last few years did my Grandfather tell me he carried this in his backpack during his tour in WWII to give to her as a gift. After hearing this I have gained a much better appreciation for their love. How many of us would do that today? Can you imagine carrying a gift in your backpack as you are fighting a war? I miss both of them.

One of Philadelphia’s most famous pieces of public art is a bigger-than-life boxer… literally. Originally created for Rocky III, the sculpture is now a real-life monument to a celluloid hero.

The statue is located at the bottom of the stairs at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, so be sure to get a photo with Rocky Balboa himself.

We had the pleasure of having this gentleman speak at our school today. Here is an excerpt from his bio:

Throw out the word “normal” when the subject turns to author/speaker Justin Lookadoo, whose latest book, 97 is about to hit bookstore shelves in February. From the memorable name to the 6’7” Texas size frame, to the fascinating ability he has to connect with the youth market through live national speaking engagements “Lookadoo” translates into one word: Original. This is obvious in the library of successful books he’s authored--most
notable among them Dateable, a 2003 Lookadoo release that birthed a franchise of support materials and is now in its’ 13th printing and counting.

This is what I love about a 365 day project-it forces me to explore my surroundings and take a closer look at the obvious around me.

Shot this using my Droid X. Added texture to finish the image. Having the Droid camera at my side all of the time is going to make my Project 365 that much easier.

Yes, that is right. I am attempting a Project 365 again after reading an article the other day in a photography blog about why you should take photos every day....which I do not. I quit my previous Project 365 because making photos starting to become a "chore." This go around, I am going to enjoy it more, relax and have fun.

I thought I would go back to the roots of my photography-taking photos of old, junk vehicles. We never seem to run out of these in rural Nebraska. Wish me luck...

Anoka, Nebraska Grain Elevator Texture, originally uploaded by Micheal  Peterson-patiently waiting for my D90.

Anoka is an Indian word meaning “on both sides”, in this case, alongside Ponca Creek, was named by the Pioneer Town Site Co. after Anoka MN. The school district was organized in 1893 and formalized 16 February 1900. The village of Anoka was organized in 1903, and soon had a weekly newspaper (Anoka Herald, 1904), 2 grain elevators, hotel, bank, livery stable, a general, a hardware, and a drug store, lumber yard, and barber shop. By 1905 Anoka had 31 businesses, now just a few buildings remain.
