Black and white post-processing

Katie, 2008
This is the right eye of my friend Katie. She has beautiful blue eyes, but I just wanted this particular photo to be black and white.
I was going to leave my post at that, but I thought I’d explain, for once, how I post-process. I do most of my black and [...]

Wherein I help you with the decision-making process

Guess what? My pay-what-you-want sale is still going!

Remaining: 4

Remaining: 6

Remaining: 4

Remaining: 5

The response hasn’t been as exciting as I thought it would be, and I’m suspecting this is for two reasons:
1. Low exposure (I would like to thank the Loyal 13 who subscribe via Google Reader ;)
2. People don’t like it when they aren’t [...]

A pincushion

Dearest Internets,
I have been remiss with my blogg-o posting…
Sometimes it’s hard to talk about life and what’s going on. Lots of things have been happening that I can’t talk about yet, because they are tricky subjects and need lots of thought before the information goes out onto the lnternet, where it lives forever…
But I [...]

Art, pigeons, slow November

Dear Internet Diary,
Not much has been happening lately. The leaves are falling all at once, now… I have been raking them into piles over the garden beds. I have been feeling sick from a fibromyalgia flare-up for the last 3 days. This makes me want to throw things.
I have been thinking [...]

Beemouse Inst. declares America finally ‘rad’

Yesterday I was walking home after work and enjoying being out in the early evening. I took photos with my phone because I wanted to be able to remember my walk home on Election Day. The clouds and the dusk were so portentous and beautiful looking. (I kind of want to incorporate [...]

moje Muse

I’m cracking up at this book I just created, which contains photos of Jen. Jen is my long-time friend: my co-conspirator, confidant, and partner in crimes against normalcy.

I imported a set I created for this purpose from flickr into Qoop’s book-making engine. It’s pretty cool. But the book also costs $90.59 before [...]

Right click; Look Up in Dictionary

It’s a quiet, cloudy Sunday, and thus a great day for ruminative logorrhea… but the uh… articulate, expressive, silver-tongued; persuasive, strong, forceful, powerful, potent, well-expressed, effective, lucid, vivid, graphic; smooth-tongued, glib ANTONYM inarticulate river of my blogorrific prose runs dry; I’m holding my breath and shutting down my mind, saving my cycles for Election Day…
Hold [...]

amnh #62

I just saw e-mail announcing today’s offerings from the 20×200 project. This photograph by Joseph O. Holmes just kills me:

It’s called “amnh #62″ and was taken in a New York museum, I believe.
At this point I do not have room for more art so I will not buy a print. But maybe I [...]

One year ago, two years ago…

For all that Richard may jeer at my methods of organizing my digital photos, I’m happy with them for now. One of the ways I deal with the steadily accumulating data is to go back to “this date” a year ago, two years ago, etc, and see what has been left unprocessed.
One year [...]

Anemone

After an exhausting day of punching my urinary tract via day #1 of antibiotics[1], which may or may not be causing me to hallucinate that I am Cher, I just want to post this photo I took of an anemone. Just a simple autumn Japanese anemone.

[1] Please note that the Rector of the Beemouse [...]
