Day 933 of 365 Again. Ok, I guess macros are just my new backup shot now. I basically didn’t do much of anything constructive today. Well, ok, that’s not true, but I didn’t really leave the house. I played some video games, which was nice, I don’t really get the time for that much at…

Day 932 of 365 Again. So I did my power aerobic workout again today. One full hour on the elliptical. Damn that really takes a lot out of me, but it’s good for me, so i’ll keep it up. Afterwards I was sitting around rubbing my quite tired feet and wondering what I should do…

Day 914 of 365 Again. Yesterday I decided to do a macro shot of my tongue so today I thought I’d follow it up with one of my skin. I don’t know if it’s interesting to other people per se, but I just like the idea of macro photography. This is an extreme closeup of…

Day 913 of 365 Again. What do you do when you don’t have any idea for the day? You practice your macro photography. I pretty much wasted the night tonight. Wanted to work on Hellcats, I have a big one due on Thursday. So instead what did I do? I wasted my night blogging about…

Day 820 of 365 Again. I had a thought this evening. I’m always bitching about how the future should be here by now. Where the hell is my flying car? But then I started thinking about other future stuff that I don’t have yet. Like retinal scan locks on my front door. That would be…

Day 814 of 365 Again. It’s my anniversary. Ten years ago today, Steph and I started dating. She actually asked me out on Halloween though she swears up and down that she had no actual interest in me and was just using me for my DVD collection. Women are evil like that. Anyway, ten years…

Day 690 of 365 More.

This picture doesn’t have much to do with anything. I just wanted to play around with macros some more.

Did some more searching for an Escape Hybrid. Still don’t have one yet. But I feel better about my options. Still, if someone wants to get me an early birthday present, let me know.

Blah. I really can’t think of anything else to say tonight. That’s weird. Going to a family reunion thing this weekend, not the kinda craziness I usually go for, but it is something different. Hopefully that will rejuvenate me a bit.

Day 588 of 365 More. Yeah, ok… my eyes are kinda bloodshot. Popular myth. People think I don’t sleep. Nothing could be farther than the truth. Actually I do sleep. Just not as much as most people. I learned a long time ago that even though I don’t need as much sleep with as other…

Day 438 of 365 More. You know, if I weren’t so good at my job, I’d probably kill myself. Still working on meeting this deadline by the end of the week. There was so much work today that I really did have a lot of fear about getting it done. It always feels like its…

Day 408 of 365 More. Editor’s Note: This one will probably be long and include a lot of deep introspection. It’s going to wander a bit and be pretty stream of consciousness and less well thought out than most things I write, because really, its more just me trying to figure out my screwed up…

Grasshoppers Mating

Grasshoppers Mating

When Grasshopper can make Lady Grasshopper scream his name while writhing in ecstasy without buying her a drink, he will be ready to leave the monastery

When I was waiting for Steph to come outside so we could go on our walk I happened to notice these two grasshoppers "doing it" by my pool.

My first thought: I have to go get my macro lens!

My second thought: I wonder if this will get my account banned again?

clementine

clementine

In order to get my official cool kid designation for the Class With Dave group, I had to actually do all three assignments (last week, I cheated and did all four assignments in one picture). This was the first picture I thought of when we got the new assignments, but I didn’t get around to taking it til today.

I love clementines. They’re like eating little baby oranges. Baby versions of food are always so good. Baby Corn. Veal. Clementines. I wonder if I can get baby chocolate somewhere.

Day 123 of 365 days. This is actually something I wanted to do for a while. Kind of an abstracted self portrait. Actually its just a macro of my skin. I hadn’t been able to really get it before because I couldn’t get my hand far enough away from the 300mm lens to focus on…
