My friend David wanted some new pictures taken for profiles and web pages so I went over to his house this afternoon. I ended up taking 105 pictures. Of course any photographer knows that of that many pictures only about 5 or so are actually good. He liked about 15 of them. David wanted several poses and different outfits so we spent time picking those out and finding different places around his house to take pictures. So we spent the afternoon taking pictures and changing outfits. The results aren’t too bad.
While I was at David’s and during one of his outfit changes, I called Sweet Brad to find out what we were doing this evening. We weighed our options and decided to go to Old Town Alexandria for dinner and walking around. David decided to join us. So David and I met Brad down at the Torpedo Factory and we walked over to the Fish Market for dinner. The meal was good. There was a guy there with his ‘girlfriend’ but he kept looking at me. Brad saw it too. Every time his girl looked away, he looked at me. He did this for quite awhile. I couldn’t figure out why he was looking at me. It was odd. After dinner we walked up and down the street and checked out some of the stores. After walking around awhile we decided to go to Ben and Jerry’s for ice cream. We walked to the store to find out it was closed. They had such damage from the hurricane in September that they have not reopened. So we walked back up the street to some frozen custard place. I can’t remember the name of it, but it was pretty good. We then walked down to the waterfront. I’ve been to Old Town before but haven’t been down to the waterfront. Pretty nice. There was a slight breeze and it wasn’t too cold at all. Brad pointed out all the sights we would be able to see if it was light. We lost all the daylight while walking up and down the street. I made a mental note to return to Old Town during daylight hours so I could get some great pictures. Without significant light, the pictures didn’t turn out that great so I only found 3 that I liked. I’ll definitely return and get some great pictures. Lots of things to see down there. We then walked around some more and decided to call it a night. We all parted ways and I followed Brad back to his house. I hung out with him awhile. We laid on the couch and touched and talked. I was trying to get him to become a more emotional person and express his feelings. He thought he did. I disagreed. We left it at that. It was getting late and I know he was getting tired. I know when he’s getting tired when he starts scratching his head. When he does that a lot, it’s time to go. So I said my goodbyes, gave him a little kiss, and I was on my way. Overall it was a very nice evening.
