365.18 It’s a LensBaby, baby!
Had Christmas with Momma today, and got exactly what I asked for: a LensBaby Muse with a plastic optic… Can you say ‘Bokeh?’ Wow. The little toy is sure hard to focus, but wow! is it ever fun to play around with! I’m looking forward to getting lots more use out of the Muse. (And …
365.17 Entropy
Find a Penny, Pick it Up, and All the Day, You’ll Have Good Luck! I don’t know if that applies to these pennies, which have seen far, far better days. I may try this again at some point, and make these pennies more imposing, have them hover over something, like the coming of the aliens …

Hipstamatic D update 4 – the Foxy X69 camera

Hipstamatic Disposable update 3 – the D-Lite camera
Here is a full roll from the Hipstamatic D-Series D-Lite camera. I really like the color saturation and slight brown tint this camera offers, but the light leaks are a bit much in many cases, so I’ll be using this camera with the slider all the way to the left in the future. (BTW: the …
