A close up of a beaten up metal wall in Arlington Heights.
I'm leaving for pre-cross country camp tomorrow for about a week, and then school starts up a couple of days after that. I'm generally pretty busy during the school year so I'm not sure how often I'll be able to upload. Thank you everyone for all your nice comments and messages! This will sound ridiculously cliche, but I honestly can't even remember who I was 3 weeks ago. I see so many new things everyday that I never even considered before and I've never felt so alert to everything around me. Thank you all for making my summer so awesome!
Tiny bird hanging on a window pane like she was looking to see what was going on inside the living room. She left three times and came back.

Straight out of camera. I stumbled across these "ripples" accidentally while adjusting the shades in my parents' bathroom :).
This was taken with a 3.2 second exposure; I had to turn off all the lights in the room in order to get the shadows to pop.
Ein riesiges Iglu am Nordpol oder ein Zelt in der Wüste? Falsch!

Week 14 ~ Minimalistic ~ White Cup & Saucer
#25 112 Pictures in 2012 ~ Crockery, China or Pottery
When the world is all at odds
And the mind is all at sea
Then cease the useless tedium
And brew a cup of tea.
There is magic in its fragrance,
There is solace in its taste;
And the laden moments vanish
Somehow into space.
The world becomes a lovely thing!
There’s beauty as you’ll see;
All because you briefly stopped
To brew a cup

Firstly, I'm not happy with this photo so I'll probably replace the image in the future. It was dark and I just couldn't hold the camera steady enough to get an in-focus shot. Grrrr.
Anyway, this is the bare minimum I need in my bag!
My sister got me this Rubik's cube from Korea a couple years ago. not the best for speedcubing but it's still my favorite one :).

As seen in near the US Constitution Museum in Charlestown, MA.
I usually try not to increase contrast this much but it added a lot to the confusion of the picture. This was something like my 16th draft... I honestly don't think I could have stared at my computer screen any longer haha.
edit: Photo replaced on 21/8/09 with a perspective distortion fix. Thank you havarti for pointing me to the "perspective control" option in CS4!!! Ahhhhhh, seriously man, you are a lifesaver!
Week 4/52 Challenge - Bare minimum.
Dedicated to my friend, lover, confidante and partner for 24 years, my wife Margaret.
Without her love & support I could not exist. She is the bare minimum I need in life.
I may not say it enough but know that I love you.
Yours forever, Jim.
A sunny, warm Southern California day is all that shirtless guy on the right (half bare!) needs to get through the winter.
Taken on the Mission Beach Jetty looking south towards Ocean Beach.
This is me! I've been waiting for a rainy day to post this because I figured it'd be a good "tag" picture. My brother took this last Saturday in Wolfeboro, NH when I wasn't looking :).
I was tagged by Dan Lopez. Check him out if you have time! All of his pictures are well composed and I'm a big fan of his post-processing and light leaks. It's kind of ridiculous how amazing his pictures are, especially considering he takes most of them with an Apple iPhone. He inspired me to go out and take some pictures with my Android G1... I failed miserably...
10 random facts:
1. I'm 18 and am going to be a senior at Lexington High School this year.
2. I am terrified of house centipedes. I cautiously approach my desk every morning after I wake up, violently shake it, and then quickly retreat because about 30% of the time there will be one hiding in the shadows. My hatred for them is something so pure that I really can't even begin to describe it haha.
3. I'm much better at Guitar Hero than I am at guitar (relatively speaking).
4. I haven't sworn since July, 2006.
5. I round gas prices up because I refuse to be deceived by the subtle 9/10 of a cent that usually escapes our consideration. Rebellious, I know...
6. I choose stairs over escalators.
7. I can solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded.
8. At one point I had 312 digits of pi memorized (I was desperate to occupy my mind with something during drivers ed...).
9. I'm terrible at participating in English class, but I'm OK with that.
10. I use summer as an opportunity to change. So in early July, I read Into the Wild twice through, borrowed a book on beginner's photography, bought a dSLR, and hopped on my bike and went exploring.
edit: I'm actually pretty good at participating in English class now... who woulda thought...

I know what you're thinking, and the answer is yes, it was as yummy as it looks.
As seen under the Tobin Bridge in Charlestown, MA. Boosted exposure in Lightroom to make up for a -2/3 exposure bias.
Best viewed large.
All credit can go to my mom for this one. I was taking a nap in the car (we were returning from a college visit at Brown University) and when she drove past this weird-looking sculpture she got off at the next exit and found it for me. I guess she's got the minimalist's eye as well!
What does this look like to you? So far I've got:
1) Fingertips - me
2) Quidditch poles - Noha
3) Bubble blowers - Diana
4) An "abstract bouquet" - "esantha"
5) Audi logo taking a curve - "Dr Cullen" & Miles
6) Olympic rings - Ivor
With today's world using smart phones for everything, I still use my cell phone as the intended use of talking to my friends. Bare Minimum.

My mom randomly organized my bulletin board this morning and I noticed she made this cool pattern. I naturally felt the need to take a picture of it.
The animal's name is Bullfrog Montgomery. One day in history my friend Ben Goulet drew this guy, cut it out, and slid it on to my desk. It was pretty random and I found it pretty amusing, so I kept it and pinned it on the bulletin board next to my desk. I'll post a picture in the comments of Ben's explanation on how to derive the name.

As seen on the side of a Coca-Cola vending machine in Wolfeboro, NH. Slight curve adjustments were made in CS4.
I've been trying to think more abstractly lately. I'd like to think I'm kind of getting there, but it is very difficult -_-. I definitely like the division of simplicity and complexity in this picture.

This tiny Girl friend, came dressed for her photo shoot with only the BARE MINIMUM of Jewels!
Project 52
Week 4/52
Week 4: " BARE MINIMUM"
From : Catcher In My Eye :)
I took this the second night I got my camera. I went out a couple of nights ago and they didn't come out nearly as well... so I think this was just luck :P.
If you are wondering, this is the ramp that leads to the Zakim Bridge in Boston.

Captured with a -2/3 exposure bias at 8:45am under the Tobin Bridge. Didn't process this a great deal; the lighting worked well in underexposing the subject.
Thanks Dickson, Tom, and Saif for helping me through the daunting task of cropping this thing :).

This is straight-out-of-camera. The lighting couldn't have been better. It was around 7:30, so the sunlight was really gentle but the sky was still a cool and clear shade of blue.
This is pretty cliché--I admit it. But I really like how the two colours go together :).
