A few nice jobs images I found:
The Day Job
Image by Señor Codo
When I am old and withered and have no money and my country has kicked me to the curb because they think that socialism is an evil thing akin to terrorism at least I will have my old job. Until then I’ve got my cans to keep me warm.
Speaking of socialism why is it always equated with communism. For all practical purposes we basically have two party system which is one more than communism. In a land of endless choice in everything from maxi-pads to mustard why do we only really allow two parties to choose from. The answer is because if there are only two parties you have a 50% chance of loosing. If there are 3 parties you only have only a 33% chance of winning. Now would you really want change if it meant you were decreasing your chances of winning. Of course not and until we have more choice in politicians and less in mustard and maxi-pads your not going to see much change but you will hear a lot about it.

bad parking job
Image by Andrew Huff
A friend of a friend sent me this shot of somebody’s bad parking job in Ukrainian Village last winter. Note the tickets on the BMW’s windshield.
great shot. I love the colors, composition and the wide angle effect.
Thanks Monika. I was on my way home from picking up groceries and for some reason the cart against the wall with the snow in front compelled me to stop and shoot this. Ironically I was completely off course and not follwoing my usual route home. It’s pays to go off the beaten path.
For some answers to your caption questions, read "The Creation of the American Republic," by Gordon Wood. In addition to providing some thoughts on that, it’s a great book.
Awesome photo. the colors are amazing and very meaningful for this time of year…
I love that you choose to include the snow, it runs off the edge in to the white background of flickr so nicely.
its really great. did you happen to take one that isn’t so centered, I have problems with things that are too centered, but really, that’s just me, I hear there are doctors who can help me… LOL!
Thanks leetlegreenman. I shot this from the ground up without looking. I think the shape of the cart and the angle it was shot at push you away from the center. I tend to get pulled to the handle as the focal point. Agreed In very few cases should your focal point ever be in the center.
Great shot and good points. I think blurring the line between gov’t and business is communism.
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called shopping carts next to brick walls, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
Nice shot. Loved the yellow. I used it on my blog post about making money with an online store. Thanks for sharing. I made sure to attribute you and your work.
Those look like Illinois license plates.
