Today’s photo is obviously a little more abstract. Some sort of alien antenna? Nebulous growth under a microscope? Malformed unicorn horn? What do YOU think it is?

Side by side in perfect harmony… or something like that. Okay, I admit it – this photo is a bit of a throw-away… but I’ve been hanging on to these jars full of black and white computer keys forever, and I’m not sure what else to do with them… so it’s time to get rid [...]

Tonight I played with a macro lens, an off-camera strobe, and a candle. Light the candle, wait two minutes, blow it out, take two photos, and repeat as needed. I took a lot of shots, but this one was my favorite. I’d like to do this again, as I don’t feel like I got the [...]

It’s a little warm in New Hampshire for snow chains, but that’s what these are. Picture a salad plate… that’s how large the two big rings on these chains are. I can only imagine what a set of snow chains like these cost! I took this photo on a piece of old logging equipment that [...]

Photo of a tent spike. The part sticking out of the ground was two feet long and the diameter of a quarter. I bet it weighs a LOT!

I had my camera with me for one of the sessions at the conference a couple weeks ago (we were receiving an award, so I wanted to grab a photo). Played around a bit and grabbed this shot while we were waiting to get started. In that morning’s session, Recycled Percussion performed to get the [...]
