Cheers to 2012!

The single malt whisky is upstaged by the Canon EF 24-105mm L shot glass that my daughter gave me for Christmas.
Cheers to a New Year filled with bokeh and high spirits! Happy New Year to one and all!
Please drink moderately. And if you do, please have a designated driver for the evening.
Aroma: The scent of citrus and ripening peaches is softened by the aroma of vanilla.
Taste: First, vanilla is detected on the tongue before it ripples along the palate bringing a burst of flowery fruitiness.
Finish: About a minute after tasting, you are left with a clean and salving aftertaste with hints of orange and peach.~ www.glenmorangie.com/our-whiskies/the-original

This is the lite version which only captures low resolution images. I'm definitely buying the Pro version. (586 frames rendered at 20 frames per second.)

NYC Cab Facts
Via Flickr:
Hailing a cab is as simple as stepping off the curb and holding out your arm -- it only gets complicated when you need to figure out why many New York taxis seem to drive by without stopping for you. The trick is in the lights atop the cab.
• When just the center is lit, highlighting the medallion number, the cab is available.
• When the medallion number, as well as the side lamps are lit, the cab is off-duty.
• When no lights are lit, the cab already has a fare they are bringing to a destination.

After the moon story Bugs' nephew looks at him with doubt, prompty Bugs to reply: "Don't you believe me? Why if every word I've said isn't true, I hope I'm run over by a streetcar!", and suddenly a streetcar appears in the room and runs over Bugs. He then looks at his alarmed nephew and says: "I suppose you don't believe I was run over by a streetcar!" ~ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/His_Hare-Raising_Tale

The Pieta (St. Patrick's Cathedral - New York City, New York)
The Pieta was sculpted in 1906 by William Ordway Partiridge. It was inspired by Michelangelo's Pieta in St. Peter's Cathedral at the Vatican in Rome. Photo credit goes to The Boss.
Last night, I was browsing through my September '98 issue of Popular Photography. Lo and behold, pages 84 & 85 featured the same exact scene! The difference being that the featured image was shot with a fish-eye lens.
Jumping to the ads section I couldn't help but notice the absence of DSLRs. B&H featured Kodak's DCS-420/410, DCS-460, DCS-520/EOS-2000. Nikon and Canon had the F-5 and EOS-1N as their flagship bodies, respectively. Do you remember these cameras?
