Project 52: Self Portraits

October 12, 2011

Frankly, I don’t like other people taking my picture. For some reason, their primary concern with the shot is not making sure my eyes sparkle and my double-chin is hidden.

Live: From the Surface of Mylife

July 20, 2011

From Calpurnius: A few years ago I shot a series of photos called LIVE: From the Surface of Mylife. They were simple scenes shot within my day at close range and composed as if they were taken from a NASA expedition. In honor of Atlantis’ last expedition in orbit, I present LIVE: From the Surface [...]

Ubiquitous Photography

June 29, 2011

Do you use your digital camera or your camera phone to take a picture of something you want to remember, instead of writing the information down? I have been doing this more often. I think it started when I was in a bookstore with my Mother. She wanted me to write down the name of [...]

53 Links about Cell Phone Photography

June 28, 2011

I didn’t know about iPhoneography until reading the word on BinaryDad’s Twitter profile. I don’t have a cell phone and haven’t looked into them. One thing I know about myself is the enjoyment of not being entirely connected. I like having that edge of escapism, the hermit in me. So I resist getting a mobile/ [...]

What do you see Outside your Window?

March 9, 2011

What’s Out Your Window? – I’m not looking out a window from a highrise building. I have, in the past. But these days I’m in a one storey house. I can still see snow outside but the roads are clear from the snowploughs and the sunshine we had all day today. It’s after midnight now [...]

Snowflake Watching

November 15, 2010

Snowflake watching is a real hobby. You need a magnifying glass and warm clothes. Bring your camera too and try to photograph the snowflakes. I think the challenge would be to be out on a day that is cold enough so your own breath isn’t melting them as you try to focus in close enough [...]
