365.82 The Punisher

Tried something again today, or started to try something new, but decided to try again before I tried, if that makes any sense… probably not, huh. A couple of weeks ago, I tried to mount the 30mm Sigma and 10-24mm Nikkor in reverse on the 75-150, but had no luck with either. Well, in a …

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), …

365.79 Ohne Titel (Sending Feelers Out Into The Void)

Leaving work today, I walked outside and the clouds… oh my, the clouds. I pulled the D7000 out of the bag and started shooting. I took the long way to the car. D7000. Sigma 30mm f/1.4. ISO100, 1/8000th, f/1.4 (yes, I should’ve stopped down, way down. Oh well. By the time I realized it, I …

365.66 Proof of Concept (with outtakes)

So I used the Light Pipe I made earlier today to create a Beauty Dish-ish type of thing. The fresh (and really bad) haircut didn’t do me any favors here, but this was really more of a proof-of-concept project than anything else. I didn’t take any in process shots. Apologies. But I just cut a …

365.55 Wino (3rd Attempt): Take it Easy…

I’ve been sober for almost 2 years. But some days, I really feel like tying one on… Maybe tomorrow. For now, though, it’s clean up the mess I made making this mediocre (at best) picture, then it’ll be dinnertime (it’s already way past…), and then time to relax so I can have a good night’s …

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 …
