If I was more awake, or had my mind on the business at hand, I’d come up with some sort of silly sub-title for this… The Revenge, perhaps, or The Awakening, or who knows. If you have any ideas, I’d love to hear them! Given that that’s all I can come up with just now means I …

7/52-24@24mm
I felt as if I didn’t do much shooting this last week, but when I loaded the week’s pictures into the computer, I found I shot almost every day, at least 9 or 10 pictures, so I guess I did alright, at least as far as whipping out the camera goes… That said, I didn’t …
7/52-23 Macro Week
Well, I shot more with the phone than with the big camera this week, and probably have a more coherent series there than here, but I started out the week with grand plans of going on lots of walks, shooting flowers and bugs around the neighborhood, etc., so even though I didn’t do any of …
7/52-22 underexposed in late May
Not much to say about this set. I dropped exposure compensation back to -2 to get hand-holdable speeds at 5:45am in the parking lot at work (or maybe it was during the rainstorm and just to keep the D7000 from overexposing, as it’s wont to do with 3rd party lenses), and forgot tot check it …

So it became just Close Focus week. I shot some random man-made stuff too—a trashbag blowing across …
7/52-20 One Camera (app); One Lens (/Film combo)
Another week, another struggle to find a theme. On Monday, I was hard at work when I heard some commotion behind me. I turned, saw one coworker talking to another, and decided the scene might make a good subject for a square-cropped image, what with all the lines and angles created by the cubicles, the …

7/52-19 Manual Focus Week!
aka “MF Week!” but I didn’t want to be ambiguous about it… So I decided to only use old manual lenses this week. These included the Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 ai, the Nikon 36-72mm f/3.5 E Series, the Nikon 75-150mm Zomb-E Series, and the Vivitar 70-210mm f/3.5 Series 1 (Kiron, maybe). I thought about going crazy …
