On the way home today, I remembered that my neighbor promised to bring the key to my apartment back this evening. She’s had it for 2+years, and uses it to look after the cats when I’m away, help herself to snack foods (when she’s not on a health kick), and examine the level of filth …

365.352 a very welcome PITA
Apologies for the sorta halfarsed attempt today. I’m still worn out from activities and frustrations of previous days, and even more so after the hour it took me to travel home after work (vs the 25 or 30 it usually takes). The delay was due to wet roads, which are something of a novelty around …
365.350 afternoon snack
After 350, you’d think I’d remember to reset the camera after I get done shooting for the day. Alas. After shooting the HDR of the crumpled paper yesterday, I left the camera in bracket mode and at ISO400. For the first 8 shots of a picture-making session that should’ve taken maybe 3, maybe, I finally …
365.349 packing paper
And another day of just not feeling it… There was frost on the car this morning, and I shot it, but with rather poor results, and by the time I figured it out, I had about 40 minutes left to shoot, edit, and share before dinner, and you know how I just _have_ to finish …
365.344 the D7000 and I
I had planned to enter this in the Me and my Camera contest over on Google+, but looking at it now, I’m having second thoughts. I’m not particularly fond of the composition, it would probably be better in black & white, and there’s all sorts of grain in the camera because I forgot to reset …
365.339 the beautiful prisoner
I really expected to be frantically trying to find something to shoot for the 365 about now, but (and thankfully) I decided to check and see if any of the run-grab-the-camera-before-the-nice-neighbor-lady-freed-the-trapped-butterfly grab shots grabbed my attention… Exactly one was in focus. Exactly one had a reasonable composition. Given this was shot by prefocusing on the …
the City Lights Photowalk (not even Thanksgiving yet)
Yesterday, the City of Dallas and/or Downtown Dallas, Inc. hosted its annual City Lights opening night festival,* and the North Texas Photography Explorers MeetUp Group was there in full effect. Yesterday was November 17th. Thanksgiving is November 22nd. Christmas is December 25th. The City shut down Main Street, between Griffin and Harwood, and there were …
