Roll 003 - Fuji Superia 100 (expired 2006)
March 1, 2009 - Had some free time to go outside and try out some of this expired Superia 100. It was a really cold day too, but I went anyways.
Fuzzy things are kind of interesting.
Fuzzy little buds against a blue sky. This was from last weekend when it was nice, not this weekend where it rained buckets and blew wind like crazy knocking down trees (and in my case, fences).
Strobist: SB600 bounced off wall then diffused through a white sheet as background. Second SB600 into bounce umbrella high over the camera. Two Home Depot strip lights lashed horizontally to the front of the tripod about 1 foot off the ground for fill and pseudo "beauty lighting."
Well, the landscapers removed a stump that used to host a tremendous variety of fungi. My macro lens wept.
But, I think I've found another one!
I'm going on holiday next week so sorting my files to make room for new the pictures ...so with these Gooseberries and the Raspberry...it's Fruity Sunday today :-)
It amazed me how the Gooseberry bush protects it's fruit...just look at those spikes!! :-)
Fuzzy Nuts-(Human hair-mine and my grandmother's from when she was young-mink, rabbit, skunk, wolf, raccoon, cow hide, wool, silver, hazel nut shells, pearl, gold leaf)
This is one of four card-type photographs that were loose in the second album. This one reads at the top, "Things were kinda fuzzy here!"

I just finished Scalzi's new book, Fuzzy Nation, last night. I picked it up Tuesday when it was released, and it was definitely a fun read. It follows Holloway, a prospector on an alien planet. He discovers a rich mineral deposit but also creatures that just might be sentient. If they are, the planet belongs to them and humans can't exploit it. The book is a reboot of H. Beam Piper's 1962 book, Little Fuzzy, now in the public domain.
Last week I read Carrie Vaughn's After the Golden Age. In it the daughter of Captain Olympus and the Spark, the city's best two superheroes, has no powers of her own. Working as an accountant, she attempts to put her parents' arch-nemesis behind bars but finds out some interesting family history while she's at it. The book was definitely entertaining but read like a teen novel and had quite a few errors.
About a month ago I finished Moondogs by Alexander Yates, a strange tale about a man visiting the Philippines to visit his father, a kidnapping, and superpowered soldiers. Oh, and the kidnapper had a rooster for a sidekick. It was good, but it sure left me feeling discontent with the way it ended.
Now I'm starting Little Fuzzy, and then I plan on reading the final book in the Hyperion series, The Rise of Endymion!
This is the best I could do. Nowhere near as sharp as adam's, but I'm one to be embarrassed rather than be left behind.
Are you crying? There's no crying in nature!
Seen at the National Museum of Natural History in Sofia in Bulgaria.
You can see them better over here.

I watched a very strange movie today called Never Let Me Go (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1334260/).
It really got me thinking about my life/my purpose/organ donations...
I really do feel that everyone is here for one reason or another. I also believe that most people do not come to fully realize why that is. I, for one, have no clue.
What am I supposed to be doing? Working in an office? Playing video games? Cooking? Drawing? Making photographs?
I have my dreams just like everyone else, but I can't say for certain that I'll ever accomplish them.
Maybe when I get closer to the fuzzy bright lights, I'll know. But hopefully, at that point, I still have time to do what I want.
