Since when deprivation compels you to stumble into the dark and cast the long drawn shadows of neglect unto that place whence the dust settled beguiling the stacked and cracked actors of layered beautitudes.
Or something. I dunno.
Lampist: Clip light on chair camera left, desk lamp on floor camera right angled and kicked. Both triggered.
My roommate got this nifty new water filter for when she travels. It's an activated carbon filter built into the cap of the bottle. I thought it was pretty how the air entering the bottle to replace the expelled water bubbled up through the carbon filter. Also ended up being good bright-field illumination practice.

Well i've been quite uninspired lately, and i finally got around to putting together this dippy.
My original goal for this summer was to move up to the 5DmkII by the end of this summer. I've had this newspaper clipping stuck to my wall ever since last October 2nd 2008. I'm getting closer and closer and it seems like a real possibility. It's inspired me for the longest time, and this is the home stretch!
Went down to this little tiny Thai restaurant down on 5th Ave in ID of Seattle w/ some friends. Was called Thai Curry Simple (Grammatically puzzled by the name but...) SUPER BUSY! The store hours are really short, just about 4 hours but the food is wonderful and pretty nice looking (if that matters) Anyways, definitely check it out if you have the chance!
Shot with the (vintage) 1995 $14,000 Minolta RD-175 DSLR shown here : flic.kr/p/hoFh8t, includes a description of this first hand portable Digital SLR.
This is taken using a Minolta 100mm f2.8 macro, a really sharp lens, but doesn't get the absolute sharpness you would expect. However, given the complicated optics design of the camera, it's not surprising, and it's 1.75Mpx. The colours and blur are still there.
The base camera for the RD-175 is a modified 500si and autofocus is used for the shot.
