Looks like a model right?

We had a great time in Savannah this weekend! Here’s a link to some pictures I took. It was great meeting you all. I hope we’ll see each-other again before these friends of ours have babies.

BTW, this is my first attempt at making a gallery using iPhoto.  I’m so used to making things difficult that I forgot all about the fact the Macs make it ridiculously easy to do these types of things.

Fnck Pilates

March 8th, 2008

PilatesWhatever it was, it kicked my ass this morning.  I’m never going again.  Something about my core being weak.  I don’t know.  Somehow old women and skinny chicks had no trouble.  I was shaking and sweating.  No one else was sweating.  I’m sticking to the treadmill.  By the way, what she’s doing over there to the right, that’s not easy.

Healthy Users of Intravenous Heroin

Heroin Wow. I (Heart) NY. Maybe there were things like this posted in papers in EL but I don’t remember them. Does this seem like an oxymoron? And what do you think they’re going to do with $3,900?! You guessed it; new clothes and groceries! No one else on the train found it quite as funny as I did at 7:30 in the morning. (By the way, click on the image if you have no idea what I’m talking about Mom.) Which brings me to my next point:

THERE IS NO TALKING ON THE TRAIN IN THE MORNING. (This rule should be applied to the ride home too but I sometimes feel the need to vent after a long days work and it only fair I extend the same courtesy to other riders.) Or cell phone use. Or even loud headphones. My only joy is knowing they’re slowly going deaf. That might be the worst of them all. It hurts my ears knowing how loud it must be in theirs. Is this a sign I’m getting old? I sound like an ol’ geezer complaining about rock and roll music.

Cold Morning

February 23rd, 2008

BoatGot up at 5:00am this morning and froze my ass off for this series. See here for the movie (60MB).  You’re best off right clicking and “Save Target as”.This is going to be harder than I first thought.  I’m not overly impressed with how it turned out.  Also, there’s way more to getting a good quality video posted to the internet than I imagined. 

Eclipse Movie Test

February 22nd, 2008

So I froze my ass off the other night taking a time lapse sequence of the last lunar eclipse ’til 2010.  I took about 350 pictures, one every 15 seconds, and combined them in Quicktime Pro.  MoonHere’s the result.  Also, I made a trip to the Croton Dam last weekend.  Here’s a taste of that one.

Eventually I want to make a film something like this.  Ross Ching was featured in Popular Mechanics the other month and it really struck a chord.  I started taking time lapse movies back with my old Canon G1 hooked up in a closet watching salt water crystalize back in 2001.  I hadn’t thought of it again until now.  As Sarah can attest, it’s been on my mind lately….

Well, Hello there!
