This is one Stinky Old Photograph: This photo was taken a while back and the amount of camera gear I have has grown by leaps and bounds (not sure yet if this is a good or bad thing). You can see the new gear photo by going here.
Original Desc: Well here it is, my camera gear...all indivudally noted and all strewn out for the world to see. 90% of it was bought in the last 10 months. It all fits in the camera bags at the top and the bags are normally packed to the brim with the gear.
My wife is a very patient and kind soul but I think I'm at the limit for a good long while, when I was arranging this stuff on the bed to take photo of it in our guest room she just about snapped seeing everything laying there. If I buy much else I will probably be justifiably shot, so if I stop suddenly posting to Flickr you'll know I likely got a new piece of gear and was subsequently killed.
I enjoy a number of hobbies (music, cars, cycling, camping, boating, technology and more), but one of the things I like about photography is it's a hobby that can be incorperated into every other hobby and aspect of life. In photography I've found something that I really, really enjoy and is a way I can have a semi-creative outlet for my soul. But as cool as photography is, music is still my main passion and I think that's the way it will always be...
NOTE: This photo made it into Flickr's 'Explore" as one of the top five hundred most interesting photos on a particular day. You can see all of my photo's that have made it into the Flickr Explore pages here.

Another photo from my after work stop at Lake Anne the other day. The falls below the dam are multi-part. This is the upper set, and my photo a few posts back is the lower falls.

No texture or vignette added. I've been toying with the concept of another "obscured face" type series, but fumbling through ideas. I've tried things like smearing grease and dirt on a UV filter, and all sorts of tricks aimed at creating my own texture in camera. I picked up this piece of acrylic a while ago not sure how I'd use it, especially after realizing that it's pretty much as clear as glass without the film on it. Wait - why not leave the film ON? Problem solved.
Anyway, after shooting about 30 of these tonight, I'm not sure if I'm going to do anymore, so I'd like to consider this a belated shoutout to alibubba, who used a similar effect so masterfully and recently completed yet another awesome 365...
Oh, strobist stuff:

Loved the various stages of these tulip petals just before they completely left the stem bare. Reminded me of swirling skirts of dancers.....
Happy May Day and have a grand weekend! ~ Pat
It took me a while to find a composition back this far from the falls. The fallen tree made for an interesting, if difficult to photograph, bridge over the stream. There was also quite some amount of distracting junk in the foreground. Luckily, a good position and some zoom made it work out!
