While speeding to work this morning (I wasn’t running late, just speeding), I came up on an suv of some sort, and the light coming off of its spinners was AMAZING. So I slowed down, whipped out the camera, popped off the lens cap, pointed it, and tripped the shutter… But a D7000 in AP …

Hipstamatic Disposable update 10 – the BlackKeys 44 camera
Well I finally managed to finish up the BlackKeys 44 camera I started several months ago, then realized I hadn’t played with the slider at all in it, so I shot another one. This is my current favorite, I think: gritty, contrasty, black/white, with a minimal border = good times. I also shot another roll …

365.140 Ivan (homage Daido Moriyama)
I shot through a second test of the BlackKeys 44 camera on the Hipstamatic Disposable series app today, and had no intention of using one of those for the 365. In fact, I shot a nice picture with the 645 Pro app that captured my agoraphobia in a beautiful and suggestive manner, and which I …
365.139 that kitten in the window
This cat tends to watch me head out to work every morning, so today I whipped out the phone and shot it. Good thing I did, since I had loads of stuff to do after work, and couldn’t be bothered to shoot anything for the 365. I did shoot a house, though, so that’s …

I wasn’t ever satisfied with the paintings much, but it was more an exercise than anything else. Anyway, …
365.137 a bad capture of some brilliant light
If you pay attention, there’s a great light show going on somewhere nearby at virtually any time of the day or night.

365.136 Scavenger Hunt Photowalk
The Dallas Photowalk MeetUp Group met up today for a scavenger hunt. I didn’t get much rest last night, and so I sort of mumbled my way through it, but I did manage to capture 8 out of 12 things in one picture (the 365 shot for today, above), another 4 in this one… and …
