Me

I rarely make it into my own photos.  Occasionally someone else will pick up my camera and I’ll be surprised to see me on my computer when I get home, but that’s about it.  So today, after reading a post on Digital Photography School, I decided to take some self-portraits of my own.  I stopped by Wal Mart to get a couple of lighting tools (windshield shades make for cheap flash reflectors), hooked my camera up to my TV so I could see what I was doing, picked up random props and started shooting away.  The one thing that made it a little trickier was that it the TV ended up showing the images a bit brighter than they actually were.  So they looked bright enough on the TV, but were too dark on the computer.  So a little exposure correction was in order.

Well, here are the results.  Any thoughts?

Back to Durham

Back in January, I took a weekend trip down to Durham for the Duke-Miami game.  The game was quite exciting (although I forgot my camera), although Miami did lose.  Of course I got to spend time with Nga and Eric, which is always fun.  Here are some photos from the gardens, starting off with Jesus dog!

It snowed

…a few weeks ago.  I was on the road the night before as the snow was initially coming down, and couldn’t help but stop at the Mini dealership with all the white-covered cars.  The next morning showed what we got.

Oh, and I’ve changed the destination of photo-links.  Clicking on a photo now takes you to the actual photo page on Flickr, not the large size.  You can still easily get to the larger sized photos on Flickr by clicking on “All Sizes” under the title of the photo.  The idea here is that you’ll see something interesting on the photo page that you’ll click on, whereas there’s nothing interesting on the larger-size page.

America’s Best

I went to the Philly car show back at the end of the January, camera in tow, of course.  My goal for the show was to highlight the best that America has to offer.  It’s unfortunate that many people don’t know that the American auto makers actually make some excellent cars.  What you see here is a look at just some of the great cars you can get from our great American companies.  This may sound like some sort of public service announcement, and it kind of is.  Buy American!

Light painting on New Year’s Eve

I know some (maybe Andrea, if anyone) have been anxiously awaiting these photos from New Year’s Eve.  We kick it off with Jengo, throw in some light painting with sparklers, some happy (or just strange) screaming, and then the night finally ends with everyone screaming so much they just fall asleep.
