Dear Liza, Dear Liza Ok… bit of backstory here… Monday, some guys came through all the apartments, looking for leaks in the air conditioning system. They didn’t find anything. Monday evening, after dinner, after my stories, I put the cats to bed, walked into my bedroom and heard a strange squishing noise… Called the emergency …

365.223 Introverted Streetog, perhaps
Well, I took the day off work to wait for some workmen to come rip up the bedroom floor, chop through the foundation, and repair a broken pipe for the complex’s air conditioner. Somehow, a day at home in the middle of the week is much less exciting/engaging than a weekend day… But I did …
365.222 Helios
In some ways, I sorta think this looks like a 1970s era Have a Nice Day badge on an acid trip, or as rendered by one of those psychedelic concert poster artists for a Grateful Dead concert, but not quite. In some other ways, I’d like to call this a portrait of Leto II on …
365.221 Ohne Titel (700 Fail)
I got an early start on the 365 shooting today, messing around with food coloring again, when the SB-700 decided to do it’s periodic lock-up thing. Oh well.

365.219 closer
Almost. I got some others that went too far. All in all, I made 150 pictures today… ~100 on the way home: highway photography. ~30 after I realized those were fail; an experiment: mounting the LensBaby on the Zomb-E series… shoulda known the working distance would shrink dramatically. ~20 after, in an attempt to capture …
365.218 The New Oil/Crosswalk to Nowhere
Gotta love that magic iPhone flare! I arrived a bit early to work today, and slow-walked my way in, took some pictures of the empty parking lot and all, and generally took it easy getting in. It’s been awhile since I managed to get almost perfect flare on the iPhone! I’m loving it. Also: given …
