I’ve long wanted to title things with musical phrases, but I’ve yet to come up with a way to do it. For example, you walk into a gallery, and there next to a painting is a card with some musical notation where the title would usually go, followed by the artist name and materials and …

365.165 ungh shaydoobay shattered shattered
Several months ago, I picked up a small vanity mirror at the grocery store for $1, intending to use it as a bounce for macro work. I think I used it maybe three times, at the most. I couldn’t really find an easy way to set it up, and I couldn’t very well hold it, …

365.163 succumbence
Well, I held out longer than I expected, but succumbed earlier than I hoped… If this is 1/10th as entertaining as the previous version, it’ll still provide ~500 hours of play time, so GOGO. D7000.

365.128 Attack of the Fremen
(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 …
365.112 Zomb-E Bee
After work, I strapped on the Zomb-E and headed straight for Bee Alley. I took around 40 shots, and this was the only one that had the whole bee in focus… I wasn’t sure about anything (I rarely chimp, and focus is impossible to see clearly on the back of the camera in bright sun), …
