1097 – Last Pair of Shoes Blues

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 01:31:00 +0100

Sometimes you find strange things. When I went to work today, I saw this pair of shoes, standing neatly on a big plant pot on the sidewalk. They were not new, but they didn't look particularly damaged either. Sometimes you find strange things. Talking of strange things, Nikon is

1074 - He's Funny That Way

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:27:00 +0100

It's stupid. I shouldn't do that. I really should work on my new web site. But then, how could I have passed this playground without noticing the kids sitting in the cage, on top of the goal? How could I not have taken the image, how could I have restrained myself from processi

Lens Swamp (2009.9.2 18:27)

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 04:50:00 +0100

I don't know if I'll climb Mt Fuji again, but I was swept along with everyone's "Take an SLR" influence, (^_^) and bought a lens for Climbing Mt Fuji use. (^^;) Of course, even just the camera body is heavy, and three heavyweight-class lenses are intense, but this convenient z

1050 - Same Old Thing

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 17:57:00 +0100

This is just more of the same, but really, I like it :) Today I returned to the place with the cables and the dragonflies. They seem to love the heat, and they seem to be pretty unimpressed by photographers and big macro lenses. I could have gone on for hours, but in the end

1048 - A Clown With A Funny Nose

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 06:16:00 +0100

Sorry for the delay. I had some technical problems and it took me a while to get connected to the Internet again, yes, to even get my images off the memory card. Hmm ... a digital camera without a card reader or a USB cable is pretty useless, but so is a film camera without a lab

1045 - Misty Mountains

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 21:27:00 +0100

As promised, here are two more images for today, like the birds of the last post taken with the Sigma 150/2.8 Macro. The first shows a wasp struggling to get out of a spider's net. Cruel things happen around us all the time, most of them going unnoticed. And even if, a wasp is

This morning the baby is restless, so I only have time for a quick post. Luckily, I've been saving this photo for exactly this occasion. First, I promise, I did not doctor this photo, which I took in my kitchen, other than change the color mode to sepia. It may look like an ordin

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 11:25:00 +0100

It's the cardinal rule in keeping down mosquito numbers: Don't let water pool up in the various pits and vessels around your house. I know I've had to empty the stone planters in front of my home a few times this year, given all of the rain we've had. The reason is mosquitoes, wh

The best photo I’ve ever taken

Sat, 18 Jul 2009 11:32:00 +0100

What started out as a simple interest in taking photos of the beautiful flowers I walk by on a daily basis as turned into an obsession. If I see a flower, I must take a photo of it. And if I don't have my camera, I get really frustrated that I have forgotten it. So, my [...]... (

A year ago I was a vegetarian, and now I've eaten at least three different animals in the last five days. My vegetarian experiment lasted just over a year, but towards the end there I just started hating the food I was eating. My cooking was horrible, and I had always been a pret

OLYMPUS LENS Olympus Zuiko 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 ED Lens Olympus lenses are very good, I have to say. I believe they are at least as good as the competition, although there may be less to choose from. The Olympus Zuiko 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 ED Lens is very nice lens for the money.

Poem: Back to nature

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 11:30:00 +0100

I love starting a new project. In this case I've been taking tons of macro shots of flowers (though, unlike O'Keefe, I see more faces than sexual organs in the petals). My plan it to write at least 20 poems to include with the photos and create a book out of them using self-publi

I've been taking a lot of photos of textures recently for a later collection. In the mean time, I thought it would be fun if I asked readers to try and guess what it was I actually photographed. Take a crack at it. The winner gets immortal glory in this blog's sidebar. Posted in

If you could see me now you'd laugh at my purple tongue and fingers, and I'd let you. Because I just picked my first batch of black raspberries from the vines that grow on my property, risking poison ivy - which I get terribly - just to enjoy a handful of the tangy fruit. It's [.

  Like Haley Joel Osment saw dead people in The Sixth Sense, I've been seeing patterns lately.  I don't normally search so hard for coded messages, but I guess I am what I read since I've been soaking up the latest Wired issue about  cracking codes and hidden messages.  What

The Nikon 70-300 VR is no macro lens, but when your blossoms happen to be big enough, it doubles as such nicely :) But let's leave the flowers now. We've already talked about those dreams of escape, those pieces of nature that we keep in our cities. Today there is a focus on ano

Oh those lazy Sunday mornings! I've slept the night on the balcony and woke up on 6:30am, just in time to take a series of images of a beautiful sunrise through the window of my study, a view that you have seen so often now, a view that still always changes. Well, this time it
