for Sunday Sliders

from Newcastle Ocean Baths, a bit of rough surf!

With originally 7 turtles taking up space on this sunken log, and one diving off, I guess you could say it was logged out.

I had to try it in black and white too! I thought it was pretty cool!

Out on the town with Sarah for drinks, dinner, drinks and more drinks. This is somewhere in the middle, when I'm very happy and not too far from sober.

We have met briefly before, but this is our first long evening together to get one another and it's amazing how many interests we share. We soon discovered people we both know in drab life.

It was a marvellous evening and I can't wait for the next.

I took this photo on Saturday evening of my recent Death Valley trip. This was the first time I had photographed the dunes at sunset, as the other times had been at sunrise. Luckily, some clouds stuck around to add some texture to the sky.

I had originally set up on the top of another ridge about a football field's length from this spot, but at the last minute, I decided to run down the side of the dune and set out for a different composition. I came across this dune, which I liked because I was able to try a different lead in line than the other photos I had taken.

Lying, thinking

Last night

How to find my soul a home

Where water is not thirsty

And bread loaf is not stone

I came up with one thing

And I don't believe I'm wrong

That nobody,

But nobody

Can make it out here alone.

Alone, all alone

Nobody, but nobody

Can make it out here alone.

MAKE magazine 09 is out, with my article on building this panoramic pinhole camera.

I'm officially "fringe technology" now, woowoo!

My old Flickr contacts might recognize this camera as a very cleaned-up version of this prototype. Optically the two cameras are identical (can you say "optically" about something that has no optics?) and sample photos from both are tagged pin-o-rama.

If you're new to pinhole cameras in general, there's a huge amount of information on the web: I recommend the nice folks at f295.org/ and the very helpful camera-design calculators at Mr. Pinhole; and Flickr's own homemade pinhole group.

See some of my other homebrew pinhole camera designs here.

Hey, many thanks to chippets for lending the camera used to take the MAKE construction shots; and also to my peeps in the Ann Arbor Crappy Camera Club for low-tech photo cameraderie.

EDIT: If you're coming here from the magazine, sorry about the references to "120mm" film throughout the article. That was mistake added during editing. "120" is an arbitrary film size designation from Kodak (dating from 1901!). Its actual width is about 63mm.

About to land in Melbourne, looking out towards Williamstown and Altona, I love the window seat. Nikon D800.

I took this nearly a month ago, by golly.

I should post things quicker to the date I took them, otherwise I forget the details of the funny stories surrounding the event. (That's right, I just said it's an EVENT when I take photos)

Well....I suppose it's kind of like Venus' transit of the Sun, it happens twice in quick succession then NEVER AGAIN while you're alive.

Okay I exaggerate a lil... :)

I guess the main detail would be that I'm sitting in an EFFING PILE OF ASH, and it's all in my hair and crap.

I was throwing that shit around like a monkey at the zoo. ...Yeah, I had black bogeys for a week and a serious case of the sneezies after this. SERIOUS!

Other details would be that I smelled bad and almost got a nail in my foot from kicking the ash without looking. Luckily I got lucky with luck and lucked out on only stubbing my toe on it instead of allowing it to slide its tetanusy rustiness into my unvaccinated foot.

What else... hmm, my camera was on a fully extended tripod on top of a child-size picnic table, and when I was expanding the frame, I had no clue if I had taken enough photos or if I was even pointing the camera at the ANYTHING at all.

Luckily I lucked out with luck again on that one. :)

There's a BEFORE AND AFTER on my Facebook page.

I also have a place for questions on Formspring.

I like to ask you questions that make you think about stuff and I like to answer questions that NOBODY ASKS ME QUESTIONS so that's not really an issue.

Also, Tumblr + Twitter.

I did not plan to go to this park at all, but since it was right beside Sunset Crater, we decided to go. I'm glad I did.

Kind of funny that this quick iPhone snap of my car in the snow made Explore vs other recent posts...

I still haven't decided if I'm going to rename Ruruko, but for now, she's out with her sister Lucy.

So a better pic of my new Lagoona. She is so cute! And i hope they will make the Venus night out which is in the comic. Super cute!

Encased in some of Mother natures features, lies this old house. It's neighbours being tree lined valleys, woods, waterfalls and streams, a real getaway indeed.

Away from home with work for a couple of days. Mostly offline, but back this weekend

Didn't get a sassy shipping notice nor did I get a sassy ring from the postman. Just opened the door and there was that all-too-familiar brown box from IT.

She's perfect and glamorous and most importantly sassy. Yay!!!!!
