My wife works in an anchovy processing plant. They do the entire process: freshly caught fish go in and cans come out. Last Friday, she came home very stressed.

I have not yet lost my newfound fascination for tilt shifting. I’ve been searching through my photos for more candidates as well as looking for Flickr photos with Creative Commons licenses (that means you’re legally allowed to modify and republish as long as you cite the original source) to play around with.

This is one of the most interesting articles I’ve read in a while. It’s taken me all weekend to get through it all, but I’m already more conscious about each step.

Occasionally the sky does something that makes me run to get my camera. I took the last two yesterday morning. Yesterday I had to get up at sunrise to go to the doctor to have some blood taken for analysis. Not because I’m ill, but because I’m healthy. It’s been almost [...]

It won’t surprise my regular readers to learn that, as soon as I learned about tilt-shift photographic effect, I immediately set about thinking of how to make a tilt-shift timelapse movie. It would be nice, of course, to be able to set up a webcam in Times Square and tilt-shift that, but, alas, I [...]

For the past month, I’ve started a new hobby. I used to think that people that kept little model trains and spent their time making miniature dioramas were a little crazy. But I’ve recently changed my opinion. I had the idea that it would be cool to create little miniature models of [...]
