Man, do I ever need a new tripod. But sometimes what I have works just fine…

Shave Yourself!
Monday, November 3, 2008
This past weekend Valerie and I finally stopped by 1601 Overbrook Road at what seems to be a clearing house for estate sales. What you see above is what I bought; a (likely) late-40’s Gillette Super Speed razor. I haggled the price down to $3 and we went on our merry way.
Behold the [...]
Library of Virginia Flickr Account
Friday, October 31, 2008
While it’s not nearly as extensive as the Library of Congress’ account, the Library of Virginia has it’s own presence on Flickr. It’s only 200 images as of this posting and the range is limited, but there’s plenty of info for each where available. CHECK IT OUT.
“Sleepyhead” by Passion Pit
Thursday, October 30, 2008
I caught “Sleepyhead” by Passion Pit on WRIR this morning (though I know I heard it already - I just can’t remember where…), and it’s my jam-of-the-day:
I find the video to be extremely clever, and the song is just short enough that the idea isn’t worn out on me. It was directed by The [...]

Things could be slow this week, folks…
Between a crazy busy work week and crap-loads of work around the house, my mind isn’t all there lately.
But I did get something nifty, recently
MTV Music
Tuesday, October 28, 2008
I don’t know how long it’ll be until it’s little more than crappy reality TV shows, but MTV has returned to music…online.
MTV Music is a joy to my music-loving heart. The interface is - so far - fairly uncluttered. The search engine is quick to dig through the 22,000+ videos. In addition [...]
Fallout Alarms
Friday, October 24, 2008
Okay, you know I’m a fan of the digital galleries curated by folks at The Morning News.
Well this week’s offering is simultaneously nerdy, surreal, and beautiful. Rosecrans Baldwin interviews Cornelia Hesse-Honegger about her strangely pretty watercolors of insects affected by low-level radiation.
A quick question…

What should I take a picture of?
It could be anything…conventional, strange, pastoral or portrait. I want suggestions in the comments, and they can be as simple as “dogs” or something complex with specific direction (like angles, time of day, et cetera). I’ll pick something by Friday afternoon. I’ll shoot the crap out [...]
The Jepson Center for the Arts
Thursday, October 16, 2008
I just posted four frames of Moshe Safdie’s Jepson Center for the Arts in Savannah, GA.
The website for Moshe Safdie and Associates is tragically Flash-tastic, but if you have the patience I recommend checking out some of his other work.
