For Our Daily Challenge: Time
The antique clock shown has told time for four generations of our family. It was acquired by my paternal great-grandparents at some point after they immigrated to the United States in 1893. The photo-within-the-photo here dates to the early 1930s, and pictures my great-grandmother; if you look closely, you can see the clock on a small shelf on the wall in the upper left of the image. It’s the same clock that I inherited from my parents when they died, and that you see on the shelf here. The clock still works perfectly…as long as I don’t forget to wind it every few days. :-)
Okay, so originally I made this shot because I was bored and I wanted to make some catchy looking photo for my Facebook. People kind of seemed to like it so I thought I’d share it with you guys. Also I’ve been tagged by four or five different people and never got around to making a photo or typing anything up for that so here goes nothing…
Don’t feel like you need to comment either. Just a fun little post.
1.I’ve started obsessing with brushing my teeth. Although my Dad’s a dentist, I used to not care if I brushed once, twice, or at all during the day. Now I gotta clean them twice a day so they stay white!!
2.That thing to the left of me is this magnetic poster board thing. On it is a bunch of ribbons and numbers from races I’ve been in. Everything from a ribbon awarded to me for completing a mile when I was younger to my state cross country meet number from last Fall.
3.I had this picture of this really hot girl as my phone background for literally more than a year, I mean, she was just smoking hot. You’d understand if I showed you. But then I got a gf so I had to change it. (lol PostcardsFromHome!)
4.Not my marbles. I stole them from Google. Haha
5.There is a ton of sand stuck in the joints of my tripod from my trip to San Diego. I should probably go take care of that sometime.
6.I eat A LOT. I finished this 4 pound of bag of trail mix from Costco in just 3 days. And that was while still eating breakfast, lunch, dinner, and other snacks.
7.But I burn just as much calories. That’s what happens when you have a kid’s metabolism and you run 60 miles a week.
8.Last time I got my haircut, the lady made me look like Spock from Star Trek. I didn’t even want a haircut in the first place. I told her just a trim and she went crazy with the clippers. So I went in two days later and got my hair buzz cut shorter. You can’t go wrong with a buzz cut. Unless you’re a girl. That would just be weird.
9.Music? I listen to a lot of rock and sometimes really heavy stuff. But I also love listening to classical music just as much. I’m just one of those rebel teens when it comes to musical taste :P
10.I have a lot of photos that are kind of neat, but I don’t think they’re good enough for Flickr. If anyone is still reading this, would you be interested in seeing a giant photo dump post someday of all the 2009 shots that I thought about posting but never did?
11.I have finals next week. I’m going to be spending at least three hours a day this three-day weekend doing review sheets and studying. It wouldn’t be that bad if it wasn’t for my Spanish class. I can handle my homework, but not if I can’t even understand what it’s saying!
12.I finally get my license this February! February 10 if any of you want to send me a bday gift ;-)
13.I think you’re only supposed to do 10 facts….
14.I typed this up at 12 in the morning so cut me some slack if there’s some weird sentence structure type things going on. Lol
I tag anybody that thinks they can make a picture as crazy/creative/wild as this one. Leave me a link to your shot in the comments and I’ll drop by and check it out!
The London underground, mostly above ground from Heathrow, can be very confusing for a bear dislocated in both space and time. The extra 3hrs endured in Singapore because of a few missing passengers did not help. Neither does a head filled with polyethylene beads.
Coffee I love.
Beautiful coffee shots I love too.
Are you?

Yeah, I know, it's been kind of a long time. I've just been really busy with SAT prep and school work. The reason I didn't share any of my progress during that time was because I really didn't feel that I had made an amount of progress that warranted an update. Now, though, I think I've made a fair bit of progress, although that thought is quickly dashed when you take into account that my last update was almost two freakin' months ago. In the mean time though, I finished Far Cry 3. I highly recommend it. Damn game almost made me cry. Have a nice holiday.

On a recent trek to the Everglades we were fortunate to spot this barred owl which posed for use for quite some time.
When a crow landed nearby with a crawfish in its beak this owl immediately swooped down and confiscated it then returned to a perch and leisurely snacked on it.
After 11 and a half days of quiescence, Etna's New Southeast Crater is back on the stage. After a powerful explosion at 08:25 h GMT (=local time -1) on 14 December 2013, ash emissions continued for some time and then Strombolian activity set in, which is continuing as of 18:30 GMT. This is a view taken at 08:57 GMT from near S. Leonardello, on the lower eastern flank of the volcano.
Time is free, but it's priceless.
You can't own it, but you can use it.
You can't keep it, but you can spend it.
Once you've lost it, you can never get it back
Very busy the next couple of weeks. I have to do my CPE exam, (Certificate of Proficiency in English is for learners who have achieved an extremely high level of skill in the English language, whahahaha can you believe that???)
So study study study bleh....

I have a few of these Atomic Clocks around the house and do like having the time, indoor and outdoor temperatures displayed all at the same time. I also like that they change on their own, no more taking them off the wall and fiddling with the little buttons on the back.
Spent at least a half an hour in The Lego Store trying to feel for this guy, haha.
And this is how I treat him... oops.
My reason for going to church today was for the afternoon appearance of 60091 on the 10:55 Knowsley - Wilton waste.
5 today for you
On a recent day out in Arundel, West Sussex, we took shelter from the rain in the Cathedral.
I liked the light from these candles in this area for reflection.

Season of Touit - picture 17
Week 41, Wednesday
I’ve been using the Zeiss Touit 2.8/50M in different scenarios and while it is a lens with great versatility, it is also difficult to come up with right kind of pictures that demonstrates its marvelous macro capabilities and still be interesting enough from photography’s point of view. To demonstrate these macro capabilities I wanted to do at least one picture at minimum focusing distance just to have a concrete example how close one can get with 2.8/50M and what kind of magnification does it offer. So here is a regular housefly, the most common of all domestic flies at minimum focusing distance (and as filthy as they tend to be in the real world visible with human eyes). I had to approach this one very carefully not to scare it away and because of that I cannot say this picture is exactly at minimum focusing distance, but it’s there at least by 95 percent (the fly was about 8 mm long and I’ve cropped the picture just a little bit for better composition). I kind of like how this turned out even with as ordinary subject as this. With the original unresized file one can see individual photoreceptor units of the fly’s compound eyes and expect even greater details with newer sensors like the 24 mpix sensor inside the Sony Alpha 6000 (I’m working with older generation Sony Nex-5N which only has 16 mpix sensor). Not only does this picture exemplify the Touit 2.8/50M’s great 1:1 reproduction scale, it also shows how nicely the lens resolves even at aperture of f/14 where most other lenses would already had a diffraction kicked in. Also, notice the very smooth and buttery background bokeh which I absolutely love with this lens.
Looking at this picture as a simple photograph it brings up an interesting recollection from my childhood in me. Being a five or six years old I remember sitting in from of TV and watching a nature documentary about houseflies. The voice from documentary told that houseflies are very difficult to kill with a flyswatter because they see much larger field with their compound eyes and perceive time differently. Then the documentary showed a slow motion scene of typical apartment room where woman is trying to kill a fly with the flyswatter. Everything is slowed down to extreme and I remember seeing at least a flickering TV-screen and some people talking with their pitch lowered to unrecognizable sounds. Then the woman swings her hand with flyswatter and it takes from 10 to 20 seconds – of course she misses and the fly gets away. For some reason I remember that the claim about fly’s different perception of time had to do something about having so much more eyes than human. Despite of being all grown up today this sort of question of subjective perception of time has certainly fascinated me ever sense. Particularly one thing in this slow motion analogy intrigues me: it makes it look like the fly sees outside world in ‘slow motion’, but at the same time is able to think and reason within its inner cognitive world in ‘standard time’ – otherwise the explanation that the flyswatter misses because the fly has so much more time to see it and react to it, would be false. This sort of paradox of two different times filled up my mind as a child, but today I see it just a bad example of popularization of science. However, I’m still not sure how one should conceptualize it, but I’m pretty sure – if the phenomenon exist – it has nothing to do with eyes. Still, makes me wonder how this particular fly perceived me photographing it in that particular moment..
