Interesting Photo...

I just found this photo on my Facebook account tonight...apparently I log into Facebook so infrequently that I am not aware of when I am tagged in photos.

This was taken back in late August/early September when a group of people at the lab took a grad student out to lunch because she was leaving her program to pursue other interests in NYC. We are at the corner of Jersey Street and Park Drive, just feet away from Thaitation (one of my favorite restaurants), a block from where I live. The cause of celebration is third from right (in all black). My boss is near the center, wearing a green shirt. I am to the far right (yes, unflattering picture in those jeans...they really don't look like that).

Why is this picture odd? I am 5'8", and I am the second tallest person of the group. This is the truth, too...not just because of visual effects from the perspective from which the picture was taken.


As a prequel of pics to come, I offer the following of myself, dressed as Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. It involved a little makeup, but the costume was borrowed from my friend Matt, who celebrated his 33rd BDay last night (on Halloween!).'Hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween! Enjoy the early sunsets from your windows at work at 4:00PM!!!! They are quite stunning of late.
