I’ve been posting something new to Flickr every day for 42 days now. There’s some pretty cool stuff, if I say so myself. Have a look!

My father recently found quite a few slides from 1948 and had them digitized for various reasons. One of those reasons probably wasn’t so that I could mess around with them with Photoshop, but I did anyway.

Above is my version of my grandfather’s dive into a wonderfully blue pool. A bit different than the original slide below. It’s amazing what 60 years can do to a photograph…

Feel free to click through to Flickr and comment there.

It’s that time of year again.. The time when a few of my pictures find meaning, popularity, and I feel particularly good about my photography. I took this shot a year or so ago and it’s always made me smile. (And no, there weren’t quite that many peeps. Oh, the wonders of photoshop.)

Buy a print here.

The trade in value for a beat up TIE Advanced x1 Starfighter apparently was enough for a brand new Ariel Atom – an amazing vehicle. And I want one. Now where’s my extra 65 grand..

my latest pictorial masterpiece – a narrative starring the girl I love. responses have been good so far – ranging from “hey, I want to buy that”, to the TA for my section:

“whimsical-yet-slightly-uneasy-like-you-are-in-a-dream-that-might-get-a-little- weird-but-not-scary-weird-just-your-head-turns-into-a-watermelon-weird-and- you-float-away-in-a-bubble-weird-to-go-to-a-robot-wedding-weird”

I’d say that’s a good thing.

I was up at KZSC, just having finished my show, and the lights went out. ‘This is bad’, was the thought of all of us there – as it’s hard to broadcast radio without power. There was some emergency power, but routed in strange ways, and soon the next show was good to go. Topher and I decided to explore campus, so obviously we headed to porter. Tons of people there, dancing, raving, drumming, etc, and good times were had by all(most).
