New graffiti popped up on the old building I pass on the way home almost every day… And it’s pretty nice, too. Or, rather, some street art-type-stuff popped up on the groovy building I pass every day. Unlike the usual tags and throw-ups I see there, this little stencil is sweet and friendly and (mostly) …

365.133 ‘plunge’ is not this picture’s title…
But I couldn’t come up with a better one, and I only decided to abandon it after I’d already uploaded and titled it in Picasa, and it’s too much trouble to delete and start again, so I’m kinda stuck. Oh well. D7000. Nikkor 24mm f/2.8, reversed. ISO400, 1/50th, f/2.8. Adujstments in Aperture were so slight …

365.132 I always wondered…
…what folding space looked like. Well, maybe not always, but for quite some time. And I’m sure it looks nothing like that strange-honking scene in that awful Dune movie… Or maybe this is a Base Ship in orbit above Caprica… Or it could be something else, something of the actual world, which wouldn’t surprise me much, …
365.131 Ohne Titel
Not much to say about this one. It took a long time, largely because I kept looking for a narrative photo, rather than looking for one that I enjoyed looking at. I knew—but didn’t really consider—that I would need to find the narrative and then make the photo, rather than the other way around, and …
365.130 ce n’est pas une peinture
If not for that bit of lens flare in the lower right, this could quite easily be a painting, or even a pastel sketch… Granted, this isn’t straight out of the camera, but it’s not very heavily processed either: Aperture’s built-in RAW conversion Exposure +.44 Black Point +2.43 Brightness +.06 Contrast +.12 Definition +.57 Saturation +.04 Vibrancy +.28 and some …
365.129 …at daybreak
I gave up on trying to create a panorama out of images like this… The 2009 13″ mbp is just not up to the task of creating 19,000×13,000px images. Actually, it will create the empty file with relative ease, but each image takes about 4 minutes of frozen computer to appear in the file, and …
365.128 Attack of the Fremen
(I’ll pick up a copy of the book this weekend…) I’m suddenly having fantasies of becoming a creator of book covers for sci-fi novels, specializing in apocalyptic/bleak future sorts of things, but capable of pulling off some fantasy-appropriate imagery as required… This is strange, as my fantasies of possible futures are generally less fantastic. I’m …
