Sweet new ringflash!

Just got this baby. Sorry to make you suffer, but I only had myself as a model. Can’t wait to test this thing out! I’m a big fan of the Strobist blog and the ‘do it yourself’ philosophy in general. So in a moment of boredom inspiration this afternoon, I got to work. Only problem […]

Cody, you can get that in Germany

(from Saturday:) …Well, why didn’t you tell me? “I didn’t know you liked porridge.” why wouldn’t I like oatmeal? “I’ve never seen you eat it before. did you need that much?” well, if you told me I could buy it it Germany, then you would have seen me eat it. “why did you think you […]

Loch Ness

Another random photo. Still haven’t been able to get any images to the computer but can’t resist browsing a card or two to see what I have. Kind of like back in the film days when you’d goto the lab and pick up a bunch of rolls from a trip and see shots you forgot […]

The Other Week…

Me: Cool, it’s snowing! lets go outside! I need to take some pics. Her: What??? You’re crazy! Me: What? Why? Her: It’s too cold! Me: You’re German! Her: Ya, I like the sun! Me: If a wuss like me from California isn’t cold, then a proper German can’t be. Her: You’re crazy! It’s too early… […]

Moon

Caught this view out the window the other night. Nothing too spectacular, but the green light they’ve got going on the church tower is pretty eerie looking sometimes, especially if there’s a heavy mist in the air and all the people have their chimney’s going. It’s a bit of a pain to try and shoot […]
