January 2009 theme day: Best photo of the year 2008

This is a variation of the photo I initially posted on June 21st, 2008. It was probably the best picture I took in 2008 and used it for today's theme day for Best Photo of the year 2008. This shot however is at a different angle.

Happy New Year's!

Dancing in the Streets

This is another picture I caught at Lark Fest. There were many people watching this gospel band and dancing around. It was a sight to be seen.

Watching

I caught this at Lark Fest about a month ago.

Building on Lark St.

I was walking around Lark St. this afternoon and saw this building on the corner with a wonderful blue sky. The shadows you see around the corners are from a polarizing filter I had on my camera. I decided to leave them in the picture since it gives some character.

A Tale of Two Halves

This was snapped at Lark Fest a few weeks back. The sun hidden behind the telephone pole really cuts this picture into two halves the way the sun falls on either side.

The Daily Grind

We all go through 'The Daily Grind' everyday. But you can also go TO The Daily Grind. This coffee shop/cafe conveniently located on Lark St. serves up some great sandwiches (Try the Reubens!), breakfast dishes, and of course the best coffee in town.

Postcard Machine

During Lark Fest two weeks ago, I came across this Postcard Machine. It was really unique because you could turn a dial, insert any amount of money you decide, and then the person behind the machine would give you a postcard. Leave it to an artist to make a Postcard Machine.

Lark Fest

This past weekend was the annual Lark Fest. The day was filled with music, food, lemonade, and good times by all. As seen here, the rooftops were full and the streets were crowded. Overall it was a pretty good way to relax and enjoy a Saturday afternoon.

Art on Lark!

Art on Lark was held today. Lark street was full of vendors and people. This was a street display of a bunch of old cell phones that were all the same model. This photo shows part of the whole display. I got a few good finds and need to give shout outs to the following vendors. I would also like to wish them all the best of luck.
