(I’ll pick up a copy of the book this weekend…) I’m suddenly having fantasies of becoming a creator of book covers for sci-fi novels, specializing in apocalyptic/bleak future sorts of things, but capable of pulling off some fantasy-appropriate imagery as required… This is strange, as my fantasies of possible futures are generally less fantastic. I’m …

365.127 Apocalyptic, perhaps
Another Macro shot of the Collier Kaleidoscope, and another day where I have very little to say about this particular shot. One thing that did cause some photographic consternation today (and the bulk of the day was rather consternating… I’m not sure why, but it’s drawing to a close, so gogo): Photoshop CS5.5’s inability to …
365.126 Otherworldly
I went to Wikipedia and looked up the various planets referenced in the _Dune_ series, didn’t find any that made reference to multiple suns, realized that, having never read any of the novels, and not seen the film since 1995 or 1996, that I’m not anywhere near Geek enough to reference an obscure Dune planet …

365.123 emerges from the grey of night…
Not much to say about this one. I planned to go for a walk down to pay the rent, but then realized I needed (soy) milk and so took out recycling and goodwill donations along with the rent instead of walking. GoGo me for recycling and donating, and maybe I’ll still make it out to …
365.122 645 PRO tiff test
645 PRO is an iPhone camera app that can be set up to save a tiff file with no compression instead of—or addition to—the jpegs it makes with various film styles and whatnot. I made this picture this morning, while waiting to help a friend help a buddy move (that’s right… I helped a friend …
