The often predictable, usually irrelevant photoblog of a beloved museum photographer.

It's Friday. I'm lazy. (those are not necessarily related statements)  So, same boat, different light.

The stern of a dugout canoe. This was shot at the same time as that other canoe. No, not that one, the one I did the "triptych" of. I shot two boats that day...some in large format black & white and some w/ my DSLR. This is one of the black & white shots, duh!

This was from my first attempt at making a pinhole lens for my DSLR and was taken on my 2011 Photowalk in Colonial Williamsburg.  While it did succeed in capturing images, it's sharpness was far less than I had hoped. Still it has a quaint, early-photography look to it without any crazy filters being applied in Photoshop. I think all I did was adjust the contrast and desaturate and tone it.

I know, at first glance this looks like an old-timey photo from the mid to late 19th century. Ha! Nope. It was shot just recently with a highfalutin digital camera and had some nifty filters applied.

Moldy oldie Monday again (even if it is almost Tuesday). If you remember last weeks MOM then you already know what this is. If you don't remember, now is your chance to go back and see it again (or maybe for the first time). Go ahead...I'll wait.  Ok, great, now you know what this is! Yay for you!

It's Friday, so you know what that means.  Me either. Here's a photo (well a series, I guess) of a giant tortoise at the Norfolk Zoo.

According to Google, this photo has been posted before...in March of this year (so says the almighty Google), but I'll be darned if I can find where I might have posted it. So forgive me if this is old news. I like this photo, so I'm posting it (again, apparently). It is of the sunrise one early morning on or around March 14, 2014. The grid in the sky is obviously the holodeck-like thing that draws the sky for us so we can pretend we are on a planet in space and not in the snow globe of a race of giants.
