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. No big deal: power off (which appears to do nothing), pop open the battery door, wait a couple of seconds, close the battery door, power on, and …

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. Realizing this fact and coming to appreciate light of all types is, on my view, one of the keys to improving skill as a photographer. Sometimes it’s easy to capture the amazing light …

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 …

So I looked over the gear I do have, and pulled …

365.46 Point of Impact (1)
This is the passenger side door handle from my beloved (and no-longer-extant) 1970 Volkswagon Beetle—a plain Beetle, none of that ‘super’ stuff—that was destroyed by a nice woman in a 1984 Ford Bronco in 1998 or 1999. I’m not really sure of the date any more… I think the police must have brought me the …
365.81 Spring Creek Forest Preserve Photowalk
I came across an oddity in Dallas county… the Spring Creek Forest Preserve in Garland TX, of all places. So Momma and I went out there (all 10 minutes from her North Dallas abode) and wandered around for a few hours. From the time we left the car (about 9:15am) until we were leaving (about 11:45am), …
