I ran some errands after work, and by the time I got home, I’d lost any interest in shooting, so I laid down on the floor and started shooting random stuff: cat hair, a broken off belt loop that’s now a cat toy, the afternoon light on the blinds, the trees outside through the little …

365.323 Ohne Titel (at the Drive-In)
Rather than fight fatigue and time after work to make the 365 picture, today I left a bit early, and snapped a few frames before work instead. If the exif is to be believed, this was shot at 5:30:02am, but don’t believe the exif, as I always set clocks a few minutes fast, and the …
365.365 and… Done!
Yep. That’s 365 in a row. But that’s not what I’m done with… (I’ll keep this up through the end of 2012, at least.) The new apartment is all put together and ready to be lived in! (Except for the desk, which is, as always, a bit of a mess, what with various receipts that …

365.188 just a dying fiction
Of course, I don’t mean to suggest that On The Road is dying… or that beat literature is dying, for that matter. Dharma Bums remains one of my favorite novels, and the beat writers and poets will always occupy a special place in my heart. But this particular book has definitely seen better days, like …
365.251 Ohne Titel (a happy discovery)
So I was pacing around looking for something to shoot, and decided to shoot Ivan, who was looking suspiciously at me (as usual) from his perch atop the cat tree. But what lens to use? The 24mm f/2.8 AI is nice and on the camera, but too wide. The 50mm f/1.8G is brilliant, but in …
