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 [...]
I decided that I wanted to give some background on the photos that I’m offering in my pay-what-you-want print sale.
So, today:
Sad breakfast, 2007
I was sitting outside last summer, playing with seed pods from my Chilean glory vine (Eccremocarpus scaber). That vine grows like a mad thing in Seattle and produces the most beautiful brilliant [...]
Spotted yesterday in a Fancystore (real store name forgotten)[1], located across the street from the REI Flagship store in the Eastlake neighborhood.
Ok seriously, SERIOUSLY peeps. I actually felt a little insulted by this. I began to wonder if these piglets with their gilded, luminous corked bellies were making fun of me somehow.
I like [...]
Let us take a moment to contemplate my “most viewed” flickr photo of all time:
Hmm. That’s me five years ago with a giant, itchy spider bite on my chin. If you google “spider bites” (without quotes), you’ll see me on page 6. I recommend careful consideration before looking at the first 5 [...]

Dear readers of my blog who reside upon the binary ebbings and flowings of the internets:
I would like to introduce something exciting and experimental– a limited run of my photograph prints, made available for purchase for whatever you decide they are worth.[1] Yes!
I’ve chosen four photographs that I love. [...]
I feel like talking about cigarettes right now.
I’m right in the middle of a nicotine craving. I don’t smoke that often. I’m in the “mooching” stage, where I just smoke socially and steal from friends with cigarettes in that really annoying, sad way.
I’ve quit and started again multiple times, over [...]
Today is the three-year anniversary of the taking of one of my favorite photos of my cat Newps. The taking, by me. Of the photo. With my camera. (Paragraphs like these are just one of the ways that you can tell I was not born in this solar system.)
What?, 2005
We used [...]
Le sigh…
I finally got around to reading the copy of Little Brother by Cory Doctorow that I bought when it first came out, in June, I think… and it left me all weepy and inspired.
I guess I should say first that the writing itself is not stellar, the plot being kind of blocky and [...]
I like the north area of the University District because much of it is run down and trashed by college students, and that yields microcosms of amazing texture.
Consider what I saw during a single walk home recently:
These photos were all taken with my little Canon PowerShot, but they are still pleasing [...]
I got wp-recaptacha installed, so none of that registering nonsense is required for commenting. Just being able to read intensely garbled text.
Let’s celebrate the times! Come on!
