In anticipation of my upcoming Chicago trip, I bought some new glass. I have a Canon 15 mm Fisheye lens coming in on Monday. I’m excited, I’ve heard good things about this lens and it will allow me to get some amazing city shots of the beautiful city of Chicago.
Just another week to go until I’m scheduled to leave. It will be an excellent way to officially end the summer. I start class on Tuesday.
I don’t trust girls named Heidi because their name breaks a rule in the English Language.
i before e except after c. Apparently, not for Heidi.
If you aren’t afraid of getting your mind blown then follow these simple instructions.
1) Go to McDonald’s for breakfast.
2) Order the perfect goodness
3) Drink a Pepsi to wash it down
Yeah, that just happened. I just suggested Pepsi over Coke for McD’s. Try it, your world will be flipped upside down.
I just wanted to document my term that was coined today.
GFAIL, courtesy of Google’s Gmail that has been done a bit this afternoon. Of course, this being the first time in years that Google has failed me, I’m willing to make fun and hold on until it’s over.
But, from now on, when you heard GFAIL, it was me that started the revolution!
I’ve been discussing The Dark Knight with some friends of mine and there seems to be a lot of debate on whether or not Harvey Dent/Two-Face died at the end of the movie.
I believe he lived, and is kept in some super secret area of Arkham Asylum because that’s what the Batman world is all about. Not killing. Sure there are deaths… but a bad guy like Two-face would never normally die in a Batman world.
What do you think? It was a long and nasty fall…
So, with the recent additions to my camera gear, and the ever increasing urge to carry my camera with me more often, I need myself a new bag.
So far, I’ve kinda liked the Lowepro Fastpack 250.
However, I’ve also been hearing good things about the Crumpler bags as well.
I’m still weighing the pros/cons of a Backpack vs. Shoulder bag. Does anyone have a preference or suggestion?
The last few weeks have been very hectic and the first thing I start to neglect is my blog. However, I have talked to The Webmaster, and we are going to implement a new design this coming weekend that should fuel some creativity and kick back off the Pic a Day that has been neglected. I’m considering back posting every day that I missed, but that also means I have to go back out and take a LOT of photos in the next few weeks.
I haven’t been feeling very creative as of late, a lot of things on my mind and kept me from exploring some creative ideas that I’ve had in my head. I need to learn to get ACTIVE and exercise my creativity on a daily basis.
I’ve gotten a new camera lens that I need to post about, it’s going to be a great portrait lens and was super cheap! I enjoy the crisp pictures I’ve gotten out of it so far. I’m looking for a Camera backpack so when I go to Chicago in a few months I’ll be able to take my gear with me on the plane and around the city without too much of a hassle. Anyone have any suggestions?
See ya soon constant readers. I’ll be back with some creative photos soon.
Sure I only caught the last hour of it, but it’s not so bad. I wonder why it did so bad? I enjoyed it, Liv Tyler rocks, George Carlin has a good role, Ben Affleck is a decent lead, the little girl steals the spotlight, I saw a Matt Damon and Jason Lee cameo, there was a smidgen of Jason Biggs and the best part is that Jennifer Lopez dies at the beginning of the movie.
P.S. The Will Smith cameo was superb and was a great scene for both characters, i would have loved for there to be a follow up scene to see if Will chose to use Arthur as his representation. Or if Will had asked Ben to be his publicist personally.
My apologies for the lack of updates the last week or so. Gotten extremely busy at work and also last weekend the blog was down due to a buddy of mine (who graciously hosts my blog) got a lot of traffic from Bungie.net and his account was suspended due to several thousand hits over the course of a few hours.
We’re hosted at a different spot now, and the pipe is a bit bigger.
Pic a Day will be back soon, I recently went out and grabbed a lot of decent photos this week, I will be shooting some more this weekend, experimenting with long exposures and night photography, we’ll see what I come up with after the weekend and I’ll update the backlogs so not a day is missed.
I’ve been having a tough time getting inspired to take pictures this last week. Due to my regular office hour schedule, I’m only able to go out a few hours a day to even have a chance at catching good light. Plus, where I live is a very suburban area, that doesn’t really spark a lot of inspiration.
I’ve been wanting to go downtown and take some urban pictures of the area, but it’s a long drive and I’d probably need to go on a weekend to have enough time to do anything fun. I guess I’ve been looking for some inspiration to get some motivation.
I probably just need to look at a bunch of other pictures and try to come up with some cool ideas that I can steal from other photographers.
