Pictures I like
I’ve been out of the office for five days. I had a three day weekend, then I had to call in sick for two days. When I got back in this afternoon, as usual, I searched through Merlin to see what our photographers had been taking pictures of. The answer, apparently, is alot of basketball games.

Chris Landsberger photographed the Hellzapoppin freakshow performance at the Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma City recently. Last week I got a preview of the pictures and some of the sound from the show and today the finished slideshow is online. I had a hard time selecting images to blog about. They’re all excellent pictures, I just don’t want to ruin the expeience for you. You’ll have to watch the slideshow.
