July 28th:
I spent today with my dad kelmat & had a blast! We went to the movies (The Simpsons movie rocks!) & then went to eat at Hut's (awesome burger place in Austin). He also showed me how cool taking RAW pictures is (this is my first photo to take in RAW). We saw this sign downtown & thought it was really funny.
P.S. For those who have asked, Michael Vick is an NFL Quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons who has been indicted for dog fighting & killing dogs who didn't make the cut. Sounds like a swell guy, huh? :) This sign at El Arroyo changes every day to poke fun at things in the news.

Love this shot, and the mispelling of Michael just adds a little more to it :)

I have to say that I am surprised by how big this whole Michael Vick thing has become. First, he's an idiot for doing what he has done. Especially given his status in society. But second, this stuff goes on all the time in the south, why aren't the feds running after more of the people who are doing this? With all the publicity this has gotten, it makes me think of a witch hunt in a sense, where once Vick gets convicted, it will all die down and all the others in the dog fighting venue will carry on as they always have.

Sorry, this has been on my mind for a while and your pic made me blurt this out.

Way to go, Kelly -- I've never shot in raw (my cameras don't do that). Funny sign!

Cool sign...Idiot bloke

I have yet to discover the joys of shooting (or even how to shoot) in Raw. Very nicely composed and works well in the square crop

This is hilarious - thanks for the laugh! You'll soon be hooked on shooting RAW, especially with all that CS3 can do.

Well, maybe when his NFL career is over (hopefully sooner than later) he can start a pet sitting business. Good shot!

Very funny sign. The day spent with your Dad sounds like the best! Such are the days that make up our best memories.

My brother is trying to convert me to RAW. My excuse is that I'm addicted to Photoshop but can't afford a version modern enough to handle that format; also, my largest memory card is a 1GB.

What a funny shot. I was glad to read your explanation, because I had no clue what it was all about without it. :)

You must've been in Austin. I love El Arroyo's signs. They are always pertinent and poignant.

Yeah... El Arroyo's always had a sense of humor, sometimes twisted, but heh... Sounds like a great dad/daughter day resulting in new knowledge, warm feelings, and a funny sign. Nice photo and a great story Kelly.

PS
You can really see a difference in the brightness and clarity in this photo. Is that the RAW processing or the CS3?

So what did Michael Vick do to deserve this?
Nice, interesting, funny shot. Well processed and good crop.
