"Miss Hot Pants" - Settings: ISO 200, f/4, 1/30 sec, 28-105mm lens (48mm)

Now THAT’s a fashion statement.  Man.  I wonder what this woman’s story is.  Does she live here?  Is she a tourist?  A porn star?  I don’t know – I found her fascinating.  She obviously put a lot of thought and attention into this outfit – but it’s just so wrong!  Anyway, I love how this photo came out!  I got the blur by having the shutter speed pretty slow – at 1/30th of a second. Luckily, I held the camera still enough and the subject stayed still enough that she’s in perfect focus, which really highlights the motion of the cars.

So, there will be no cheese post today because at two o’clock, I’m picking up a car, swinging over to Chelsea, picking up my husband and we’re heading up to Massachusetts for the weekend.  It is my dear friend Faye’s wedding on Saturday.  I can’t believe it’s the end of September and I can’t believe Faye’s getting married!  Break out the tissues… this is going to be an emotional one for me.  Faye and  I have been friends since we were wee little girls!  I am a bridesmaid and I have an adorable purple dress and we’re getting our nails and hair and makeup done!  A girlie weekend galore.  I love weddings – especially now that I have my second half with me… who is a damn good dancer.  Oh yeah, my man tears it UP on the dance floor!

When I return next week, I have to get my photos printed for the cheese shop show in mid-October.  If any of you have a little time on your hands and want to help me out… please take a look at past 365 project photos and tell me your favorites!  I’m hoping I might actually sell a print or two – so input is very much appreciated!  They don’t have to be cheese pictures… anything is game.  Thanks all!  And thanks for your comments… sometimes I feel like I have nothing interesting to say – and I’m just blabbing to cybernothingness.  The comments from friends (and strangers) keep me feeling like I’m actually doing something.  You know?

And PS… here are a couple additional favorite photos from yesterday:
