From the time I woke up this morning—and even before, perhaps—I didn’t want to make another abstract picture for the 365, so I shot every chance I got today. I shot the empty office at 5:35am when I arrived to work. I shot (surreptitiously) coworkers, cubicle neighbors, and the big fancy bosses that occupied the …

365.153 facet
I really didn’t want to shoot yet another macro shot today, and really thought one of the power’s-out-so-I’m-bouncing-flashlight-off-the-ceiling-thanks-purely-to-photography long exposures I made early this morning, but none of them worked particularly well, and none were even remotely in focus, and I got home rather late, so here we are. Oh well. D7000. Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 …
365.152 Amused by my Intense Frustration, a Self Portrait
Some weeks ago, I submitted a photo of unfolded interior of a gallon-sized fishy cracker container and claimed that I would be making an on-camera macro flash diffuser out of it.

365.150 Close, but not quite…
I tried for many hours to capture this: “…[C]onsciousness flowed through and around her and into the darkness. She glimpsed the place dimly before her mind blanked itself away from the terror. Without knowing why, her whole being trembled at what she had seen—a region where a wind blew and sparks glared, where rings of …
365.149 drive-by selbsporträt
I snuck out of work a bit early today (actually, there was no need to sneak, and I didn’t particularly, as there were few people left by the time I left), and the early-afternoon light looked just about perfect for some high-contrast street shooting. But, being that I work in an anonymous office park in …
365.148 if I could paint like this, I’d…
if I could paint like this, I’d… well, I’d just… I mean I’d… but I can’t, so I use a camera instead. Fairly heavy on the post today, James… But I like it, so groovy. I didn’t leave Aperture, but I did pull out some of it’s hidden manipulation features… still nothing you couldn’t do …
