The crap on my desk at the office (Day 3/365)

My most loyal reader requested some Dwight pics, but I thought I’d go one better and show you even more of the crap on my desk. That’s a photo of my wife (which I took), a porn-surfing Smurf being abducted by Gargamel, a petrified Nautilus shell, a Tiki from Hawaii, a pyramid of some sort from my boss’s trip to Mexico, some Play-Doh, and of course, Dwight Schrute! Weird, isn’t it? I used to have some Nautilus shells made out of Play-Doh as well, but I got rid of them when they became as petrified as the real one and started to crack.


Descanso Gardens Waterfall (Long Exposure)

Descanso Gardens Waterfall (Long Exposure)

I’ve always loved long exposures of moving water, but I’ve never really tried it myself. But yesterday I was out with the new camera, and there was a waterfall, so why not. I set the 5D down on a rock next to the waterfall, set the timer, and took this without looking. I’m not crazy about the fence in the background, but I love the creamy looking water.

Canon 5D is officially awesome

I know you’ve been waiting breathlessly for my first published Canon 5D photos. Well, wait no longer, my friend, because here it is. Marvel at my impressive photographer skills.

Gargamel and Azrael Sneak Up On Smurf While He Enjoys Flickr (Or Is He Surfing For Porn?)

Click on the image and check out the larger sizes. This is ISO 640, folks. Am I just blind with love for my new 5D, or is there relatively very little noise to be seen? Love it, love it, love it.

By the way, these guys live on my desk at work, along with my beloved Dwight Schrute bobble head. Gargamel, as usual, is up to no good. Azrael, ever the flunky, plays right along, ignorant of the inevitable consequences of her evil. This photo was snapped right before Dwight came in and kicked Gargamel’s ass with some amazing Schrute Fu. (Hey, it was Friday.)


Spring time is the time for love

I tried to come up with a clever little poem for this, but the rhymes were just too obvious.


Get your photos in a museum

Found this over on the State of the Art blog at Pop Photo:

I’m too old to qualify, but maybe some of you younguns out there will be interested.

Heather took this one when we visited the Japanese Garden in Van Nuys last year. That’s me and my Contax G1.

I really like photos of people using cameras, even when I’m the subject.
