Writer’s Block

I really have to find some things to write about, because this blog is getting stale … and I certainly can’t only post poetry on Fridays.

A quick summary of Facebook status updates which give an idea of some of the things running through my head right now.

Thinking about starting a 365 day [...]

Fun with iPhone camera apps

Lake Solitude, Lo-Mob Version

One of the fun things about having an iPhone is the various apps available for it … especially some of the camera apps. For example, the top photo is a pretty standard shot of Lake Solitude, taking on my [...]

Poetry Friday (and it’s a doozy)

HEY ALLEN GINSBERG WHERE HAVE YOU GONE AND WHAT WOULD YOU THINK OF MY DRUGS?

A mouse went to see his mother. When his car broke down he bought a bike. When the bike wore out he bought skates. When the skates wore down he ran. He ran until his sneakers wore through. Then he [...]

No respite for the weary …

I don’t know if it’s the changing weather (like it is for the Mistress), or if there is something else going on, but I just cannot get my head into the game.

My motivation levels are near-nil, and I find that right now I’m basically just on cruise control. I wake up, I go to [...]

New Toy

Picked up a new toy on Friday evening; and spent a good chunk of Saturday reading manuals. It’s definitely (and quite obviously) more complicated than my point and shoot, but also more so than my old Nikon N4004 35mm film camera.

Current lenses are my old AF Nikkor 50mm f1.8 prime, an old AF [...]

Shutterbug

Once upon a time, I fancied myself as an aspiring photographer … in addition to the stuff that I currently have posted on Flickr, I used to shoot film at clubs in San Francisco.

Some of those photos can be seen here.

Black and white photos, primarily, generally at night, with very fast film, [...]
