Attention shoppers!
First Lady Michelle Obama has said in the past she likes to go shopping incognito. AP photographer Charles Dharapak found her doing just that in a suburban Washington retailer today wearing sunglasses and a ball cap. Charlie made this frame with his Canon 1D Mark IV and a 24-105mm lens. His exposure was 1/200 @4.5 rated 2500iso.

The First Lady shops at Target. Seriously.

PROM DRESS…WORN AGAIN 15 YEARS LATER

I can’t believe it still fits.  But most of all, I can’t believe I had style at the age of 17!  Thanks for keeping it in the closet for 15 years, Mom. xo

Wallpapered Shutters - update old shutters to use as a room divider or simply accent by first removing the rods and panels from the middle of the shutter. Sand the shutter if necessary, then give it a fresh coat of paint. Tack wallpaper-covered plywood panels onto the back of the shutter and you’re done! This would look really neat with some unfinished, rustic white shutters, don’t you think?

He didn’t know anyone was watching, but as Robert Peraza, 68, fell to one knee, bowed his head and placed his left hand over his son’s name at the National September 11 Memorial, a photographer with a long lens captured the very private moment. Overnight, the photo went viral, becoming the iconic image of the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

“It was very, very emotional,” the retired Procter & Gamble Co. systems engineer told ABC News. “I was just honoring Rob. I was saying a prayer for his soul.”
 …He had no idea that his grieving earlier moment had been snapped by a professional photographer and was already bouncing across the Internet and would lead newspapers across the country.
Neil Peraza [Robert’s son] said he and his wife and daughter were standing in the family members’ area at Sunday’s memorial service when his cellphone started ringing and wouldn’t stop.
“My wife said, ‘You have got to see this picture,’ ” he told ABC. “I was, like, ‘Oh, my God.’ It was breathtaking … My heart breaks for my dad and my mom — the two of them, especially. As a parent now myself, I cannot imagine losing a child.”
