day sixty-eight; march 9, 2010. best viewed on black.
if I clean my rocket
we’ll go flying today
and we’ll hit the pockets
of warm and crispy air

took another out-of-focus shot tonight of the seattle skyline from my rooftop. this time i had an arrow-shaped gobo that really made the bokeh awesome!
day sixty-seven; march 8, 2010. the detail is crazy like this!
maybe we’re sealed in silence
and maybe we feel a guidance
maybe your only vices
will keep you afraid and cold

continuing (and concluding) my monday macro fun, i took a shot of the embossed logo on the back of my zune. view it large—the detail is outstanding!
for strobist and lens info, see my previous macro shot.
day sixty-six; march 7, 2010. get in really, really close.
we’ll cast some light and you’ll be alright

got several letters today in the mail! they definitely made my week, which is kind of weird coming from a huge “email-me” person. this is a close up on the stamp from my grandma’s card from canada.
this just accidentally fit the macro monday theme “contacts” perfectly. how ‘bout that.

i used a really hacked up two-lens system for this macro. my kit lens was zoomed to 105mm and my 50mm prime lens was held up backwards to the front of the kit. the vignette definitely comes from the mismatch in lens size coupled with the lack of zoom power on the kit lens.
day sixty-five; march 6, 2010. climb the ladder.
shake it like a ladder to the sun
makes me feel like a madman on the run
-yeah yeah yeahs
brilliant sky today in seattle. happened upon this building in south lake union and had to capture it with my wide angle. too bad the weather outlook has it raining for the foreseeable future. :(
also: sixty-five down. three hundred to go. phew.
day sixty-four; march 5, 2010. better view from the top.
it may be odd that after two years in seattle that i don’t have my own shot of the space needle. so here it is: my obligatory space needle shot.
day sixty-three; march 4, 2010. zoom in and smell the flowers.
and then patterns - four tet
great clear pre-spring day! temperatures are warming up and the cherry blossoms are in bloom.
day sixty-two; march 3, 2010. you absolutely have to see it like this.

finally got outside this evening. it’s looking up to be more and more like spring-like evening weather which i hope yields itself to more outdoor pictures.
this one is in the same vain as my jan 31 photo.
day sixty-one; march 2, 2010. see it up close.
you can say the sun is shining if you really want to
i can see the moon and it seems so clear
you can take the road that takes you to the stars now
i can take a road that’ll see me through

day sixty; march 1, 2010. get in closer.
over and over and over and over and over
like a monkey with a miniature cymbal
the joy of repetition really is in you

got this awesome binary watch from my parents a couple of years ago. quite the spectacle as anyone who knows me will attest. i do indeed love to show this off when wearing it!

day fifty-nine; february 28, 2010. through the scope.
this spring and summer i hope to get out into the lesser-lit areas of the pacific northwest and get some good stargazing in. until then, a photo of my awesome telescope will do. :)
