Sirens of T.I.
This is EXACTLY as it came out of the D90. Shot at dusk from about 35 feet away using the fantastic 18-200 kit zoom lens all the way in at 200mm. It was pretty crowded but the Manfrotto monopod let me hold it pretty steady. Yes, the audio looks out of sync because the girls…

Oh Noes! A one legged pirate stole that slave heart I was saving for a special occasion… If I were a political animal this would be an entirely different blog post. I’m not, so it isn’t. If I were a better ally, I might check with folks before I posted this and see if there…

One of the best things about twitter is the constant stream of ideas that flow by. Now only do I keep up with friends and so on, but I follow an extended network of folks I find interesting. As of this moment I follow some 116 people* but I am still looking for others. In…
