There's a place in South Yarra called Misty's Diner that sells what I gather is considered authentic American food. Naturally, it's a total hit amongst my friends, what with us tending toward the "robust", but my friend Brendan and I had never been. Until yesterday. I think I'm now addicted to Chil ...

I love this city for the exploration and discovery of such weird and wonderful things.
The Torosaurus skeleton pictured here was discovered in Montana by a Milwaukee Public Museum expedition in 1981. The bones come from the Hell Creek Formation, the last rock unit of the late Cretaceous, at the very end of the dinosaur era. The dark brown areas are actual fossilized bones, while lighter areas are replica bones.
This skeleton was the first Torosaurus discovered in Montana, and more importantly, it was the only specimen with significant post-cranial remains, or remains behind the skull. Most Torosaurus finds are represented by skulls only. This skull, nearly nine feet long and eight feet wide, is one of the largest dinosaur skulls ever found.
The Torosaurus has been much in the news lately, as scientists from Montana have posited that a Torosaurus is actually an adult form of Triceratops, previously believed to be a distinct genus.
For those of you that live in Southern California or visiting in April, I invite you to come feast your eyes on some amazing art made from found objects.
This is part of a set of silverware my mom got before she married. Something about the size and slender but comfortable handle makes these spoons my favorie for eating cereal or cottage cheese. The forks of this set were all deco-weird and unusable, and i have long since lost the butter knives, but the 4 spoons that i still have are the ones I always reach for in the silverware drawer.

I wanted to make sure that the subject was filling up most of the frame and I wanted to make sure the camera was high enough to see the shadow in the back as well. The most interesting part of this photo would be the gold reflection of the cart. I thought that it was cool to see both the dark shadow and bright reflection from the same subject. The emotion/feeling that I wanted to convey through this photo would be a feeling of richness, since it is a gold colored cart on something that I tried to make look like the red carpet. I had a low f stop because I especially wanted the cart to be in focus and a high shutter speed because of how bright the sun was.
