For this week’s 7/52, I decided that the theme would be “not at home; not at work” and made ‘limited’ myself to shooting in areas outside of a 100 yard radius of my apartment or desk cubicle, and also disallowed shooting from the car window. One of my main goals with this hobby is to …

7/52-10 the Castillian at Night
This was an interesting and rather difficult 7/52. Sunday came and went with no thought at all for the week’s project. Monday came and went with no thought at all for the week’s project. Tuesday found me wide awake at 2am; up, showered, dressed for work, and sipping coffee by 3:45, with nowhere to go …
7/52-09 reflections
It started when I noticed some leaves reflected in the window of the open door. Out came the LX7, which captured the scene nicely-enough, but I wanted to shoot the D7000 and some manual lenses, so back went the LX7, and out came the D7000 and Vivitar 70-210mm f/3.5. The interaction between the eye/brain and …
7/52-08 Macrobstractions
Well, I suppose I was a bit lazy this week, but I did want to shoot some Macro Abstractions again—it has been awhile, after all—and I am in the middle of building my own WordPress theme and doing some site optimization, so my shooting time was a bit limited. It was mostly laziness, though. At …
7/52-07 Pinholed
After reading a post on Google+, and checking out Robert Rath’s writeup of his Transit of Venus through-a-pinhole shot, I decided it was time to make a pinhole lens and see how the D7000 fared with an optic even more rudimentary than the Holga 60mm f/8. Step one: procure supplies. In this case, supplies consisted …
7/52-06 coming up squares
I struggled a bit for a theme early in the week, but remembered or read something about pre-visualizing aspect ratios (perhaps here) and decided to try pre-visualizing square crops from the 4×3 aspect ratio of the iPhone. It proved remarkably easy to do, somehow. I expected it to be considerably harder. But despite succeeding at this …
7/52-05 Zomb-E Week
It was a fairly grey and gloomy week here in North TX. Several grey days, a couple of rainy days, and a general sort of mental/emotional/physical malaise descended around me early on, and hasn’t really let up. I expect the personal stuff is diet-related, as I’ve cut out out the sugar-and-junk-food binging I’d been enjoying …
