You Know You’re In New Hampshire When….

You know you’re in New Hampshire when…
…you actually have to put a “No Hunting” sign in your front-yard to deter rednecks from continuing to shoot your caged farm animals.

"No Hunting" in our front yard, please

Nevada Circa 1951; Genoa, Nevada

In 1901, New York became the first state in the U.S. to require vehicle license plates by law, though it wasn’t until 1903 that plates were government issued (people were originally required to make their own and often only listed their initials). Plates continued to vary in shape and size (with some plates even being the shape of the state itself) until they were finally standardized in 1957 after people got sick of continually drilling new holes into their bumpers to accommodate the different designs.

Day 365/365.

Well, I promised I wouldn’t do a shot-of-the-day for the full year, and yet I did anyways.  And so, I end the year with a lack of originality and yet another disaster story.

365; Die

Why is there a picture of stacked die above?  Because the picture of the cake didn’t work.

Me: “Give me a little bit to get my gear set-up and plan for proper exposure of the light.  Whatever you do, just don’t light the candles yet.”

Her: “What? Light the candles!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Me: “No! Don’t li….”

And like that, the candles were lit.

Let me just tell you, I have never seen someone so fast and efficient with a matchbook, but the frantic twitches of excitement and intoxicated look in her glazed-eyes were as unnerving as being locked in a dark room with an ADHD four-year-old who just pounded twelve-bottles of Five-Hour Energy after being forced to listen to the Hamster Dance song for 24-straight hours.

Within seconds, the shape of the “365” numbers had melted, and there was wax everywhere. While I still captured better images than the one below, I feel it’s a fair tribute to the failed attempt at a shot that is no more than a distant memory now.
