Creepiness at Clinton Rally

Friday, July 6th, 2007

A buddy of mine recently sent me this photo he shot at a Hillary Clinton rally. I probably wouldn’t have noticed, but he pointed out an interesting figure, just to Hillary’s left. This person appears to be reading, and preparing to photograph, a Disney book. Or possibly using the book to hide [...]

Who needs a draft?/War can be fun!!

Sunday, June 17th, 2007

An image I snapped at a small-town carnival this weekend. Shit like this really bothers me, though most people I know think I’m nuts for saying so. By the time the average American is mature enough to start thinking for themselves, they’ve been exposed to mountains of this stuff. Desensitization, indoctrination, at every [...]

Very Cool Modest Mouse “Fan Video”

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

OK, I am not, at this juncture a Modest Mouse fan, but I do have one of their albums in my iTunes cart. It’s been sitting there for a couple of months, but I haven’t clicked “Buy” yet, for some reason. My point is, this post isn’t about Modest Mouse, but rather about [...]

New Hobby

Like I need one of those? I just saw this orchid at the farmer’s market this morning, and had to have it, despite the fact that I have never maintained a plant before. The image is a digital cyanotype, made in Adobe Lightroom.

Video: photography lens manufacture

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

This 10-minute video is really cool. Kinda reminds me of the Sesame Street vids I used to watch when I was a munchkin. Also, it got rid of any last bit of buyer’s remorse I had for buying the Nikkor 85/1.4. Heh….well, actually the first 10 or so images I got from the [...]

“Breast Cancer Awareness” camera

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

Yes, Polaroid is peddling a “Breast Cancer Awareness” camera, and yes, it’s pink.
If your first thought at this revelation was “Holy Jeebus, that’s the most retarded thing I’ve seen all week,” then great. If, on the other hand, your thoughts were more like “Hey, gee, what a cute pink camera, and how benevolent [...]

Dog, Skateboard, Flower

OK, I said I would post some photos from time to time. These are just some snapshots I took today.

Photographers at Work

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

Hilarious images of photographers and non-photographers plying their trade. A few of these I’ve seen before, but many were new to me.
Check out this post from The Online Photographer:
This is very funny. (Warning: the second picture down is not workplace/school friendly.)
