Boy stuff

More boy stuff here

I never set out with a theme in mind, I just take my camera every where I go, and take photos of what I think looks interesting. I suppose it's natural that some themes should develop, such as birds and "Japanese" looking buildings. Some themes though, I don't really understand.

A couple months ago, I was fascinated by park benches. After every walk I would come home with an crazy number of park bench shots. Recently, I seem to be fixated on wheelbarrows and construction sites. I have begun to think maybe I am more macho than I knew.

Although I know I played with tractors and dump-trucks when I was a kid, I'm pretty sure my sister's Barby was in the front seat along side GI-Joe. I sure don't remember having any special fascination with that kind of thing as a boy, it's just what my parents bought for me.

I'm no lover of power-tools, and never understood the whole Tim Allen "arrr arrr arr" thing. Recently we moved offices, and the president has been carrying around an electric drill/screwdriver wherever he goes, looking for any chance to rev it up and drive some screws. Me, I'd just as soon glue the desks together.

Of course this recent fascination with construction sites could be attributed to something else, such as the pretty colors, or the act of creating something, rather than the masculinity of all the huge trucks and tractors, but for once, I'm going to pretend I'm macho. At least until my fascniation turns to lace umbrellas.

What about construction workers holding lace umbrellas? There's enough spare ones outside every site ;)
