Railway Crossing: Mark Tucker inspired

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

This was taken with a Canon 5D in February in National Park, New Zealand.

The manipulations are my first real attempt at making a photo inspired by the mood and style of the photography of Mark Tucker in Nashville.

Non-Photography: I can’t stop. Seriously.

Thursday, August 30th, 2007

What is non-photography you ask? Well, it’s some of the coolest photography out there. According to Nitsa, it requires:

no special gear (too heavy).
no instruction books (too boring).
no calculations (too calculated)

I’ve had this site open in my browser for over a week now. I can’t stop exploring it in search of more. The photos, the writings. Do yourself a favor and check out what Nitsa has going.

Lunar Eclipse photos

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

A couple of nights ago we had the second lunar eclipse of the year. I threatened the following work day to stay up until 5a.m. to see it and to photograph it but I don’t have a lens that would have captured it well from where I am. Of course I didn’t get a lot of sleep because I wanted to make sure I saw it. I’m glad I drank tons of iced tea before bed so I had to get up and pee a lot throughout the night. I regret not just putting a pinhole, Holga and 5D on the roof when I saw the eclipse at about 2:35a.m. It was so beautiful. At the time it was just a sliver. When I saw it about an hour later the whole thing was orange. A little while later it was all black with the exception of the top left portion which was bright as can be.

Having not captured these views, I’m glad that Jan Klier did. Check out his great shots.
