Disco, Angels Flight pants, the White Socks and bicycle bells
I remember 1979 as the year Chicago White Sox fans blew up about 10,000 disco records in the Old Comiskey Park and unfurled the phrase “Disco Sucks.” While much of disco deserved the bad rap it got, I graduated high school in 1980 and came of age roller skating and high school dancing in Angels Flight pants in the [...]
More Friday Fotos
Too many good pictures and not enough Fridays so I had to share. These from Casey.
Friday Photo Contest
I only got a couple photos to add this week. The contest ends soon, and it seems like almost everybody who entered is going to win a prize thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and the relatively low number of entries. I thought with all the photographers I know, more of them would enter. [...]
Fun Friday Photo Contest
Here are this Friday’s images. The entries have slowed down, and the chances of winning are still very good. We only have about a month left, so don’t hesitate, review the catagories and rules in the menu bar above and send in your pictures. I did put a Flickr page up for the photo contest, [...]
Fun Friday Photo Contest
More nice photos have been coming in for the contest. I will put a handful up today. Don’t feel slighted if yours does not get posted. I don’t have room to put them all up. I promise to get a functioning Flickr page up this weekend where all the photos can be displayed. I think [...]
Friday Photos
Got a few more photos for the contest. Perhaps the 90 degree weather and humidity has people longing for the cold again, but many of the submitted pix are from winter. I still don’t have a lot entires, so the odds are very good if you enter. Send your entries to overthebarsmke@yahoo.com
More nice Fun Friday Photos
I probably won’t be able to post all the great photos I get for this contest, but I will try to toss up a few as they come in and I have time. Don’t feel slighted if a photo you send does not get posted here. I will have them all up on a Flickr [...]
First Contest Entry: That was quick Earl!
Here is a great bicycle portait from Earl King to inspire you. I will set up a Flickr page for all these photos very soon.
Friday Photo Contest: Major Rules Change
Over the Bars has had 6,000 visitors since I announced the Five Minute Friday Photo Contest, but only one person has entered to win the sweet prizes. And that person is a professional photographer who also works at COG Magazine. That tells me that perhaps the contest is either too hard for the average Joe or Josefina to [...]
Five Minute Friday Photos: Williamsburg Bridge, NYC
Here are some great photos from local bicycle photo legend Pete DiAntoni. These were taken in NYC while he was there on assignment for COG magazine, which is also a sponsor of this contest. New York City, once a virtual desert of bicycle facilities, has gotten religion in a big way. They now boast tons [...]
