Well, I’ve recently launched a sister site to this one. It’s my first photoblog, and I’ve been posting some images, building the library, for the last month or two. I figured that I might as well post some of my better unrelated work in an online portfolio. A work in progress, but enjoyable work at that.
Jury is right around the corner, and thankfully it doesn’t fall on a workday. Will have to see what I can do about being booted off the panel, so open to suggestions
Just a brief update letting you know about some of the new NYC shots I took. Been having a lot of fun finding all those interesting places and angles that some may not notice.
As I make my way through this place and all these interesting sites, I am inundated with views of splendor. You can always find something unique and interesting to take pictures of. Whether it be an interesting landscape or a cop directing traffic, it truly is the city that never sleeps. I’ve updated the NYC gallery with some more of my visual escapades. Had the chance to just shoot he proverbial “Sh!t” with an old time hometown buddy on Memorial Day which is the reason for many of the updates. Perfect weather, sun in the sky, not a cloud to be seen. Got some new textures coming down the pipe as well, so stay tuned.
On a side note, I’ve been putting in the map coordinates for each of the pictures taken in or around NYC so you can see where these shots originated. I look forward to your feedback…
As it goes, I’m a wanderer and I like to find new things and places to go and see. Especially if these places are unique and hard to find. The thing about New York City is that there’s plenty of places like these to find. Having a digital camera gives you the freedom to take as many pictures as you want without the fear of waste. If you don’t like, you can delete it, simple as that. So in my travels in and around the boroughs of Madhattan, as I like to call it, I will be taking those pictures that are hard to find. It’s my pleasure to share them with you in the hopes that they may brighten up your day or give you the motivation to make that trip to this wonderful place I call home. Enjoy
I have been enjoying my time with my new friend, the all powerful Rebel XSi, still nameless. It’s been about a week since I have had said friend, and I’ve loved every minute of it. With the 300mm lens I had some edumacation to consider.
I‘ve never used one of these zoom lenses and there’s a few things I needed to figure out. At max optical zoom, camera shake is much more prevalent. Creating the blurred background was new to me as well, at least the consciousnous of it. All in all, I’m pretty happy about my new toy and want to share the beautiful images it has produced. So please, if you see something you like, let me know and I’ll try to expand on that. Head on over to the Textures page to navigate to the gallery and the updates.
I have so many pictures I’d love to share but there’s a point where it reaches a limit. I’ve thrown up some new pictures under the “Yours Truly” album, if you found it that is. There’s more to come, but need to do some post-processing before I can upload the next batch. There’s a few nice one’s in the pipe and certainly more to come. I now have the tool of the trade, at least the camera that provides you with these glorious sights.
On a related note, the textures page now has more links which make the whole viewing process a little easier. These links include: Updates, Popular, & Random.
There’s a lot to see and getting around to all of them can get a little daunting. I’m no DeviantArt, but having my own photo site gives me a little more freedom than they would. Hope everyone enjoys.
This is just one awesome table. It simply doesn’t get any cooler than this for home furniture. Living in NYC, this is one of those ultimate space savers that I would love to have. This is one of those things where you scratch your head and say, “Why didn’t I think of that?” Could even possibly qualify as a transformer. Click on “read more” for the youtube video.
Well, after some pain in the ass troubleshooting, I went ahead and recreated the Metals album due to server issues. For some reason, it was the only album that wasn’t viewable for some unknown reason.  You can now view it in all of its intended glory, so please feel free to comment if your feeling ambitious. Still some troubleshooting to do, as the host be 1and1 and they can be difficult at times when it comes to support. Head on Over to the Textures page to link to said album or just click on the “metals” link above me.
On a side note, I just ebay’d the standalone Sony DVD recorder for a cool $100 with free shipping. It normally retails for $250 so I feel proud of myself. I’m sure you know the feeling if you’ve ever won an ebay auction. Only reason I mention it is because it gives me an easy way to backup all the pictures I’m taking. It accepts SD cards, woohoo!
Well, not to long ago I took on a project that I’ve always wanted to. Ever since I took a class in high school regarding architecture, I always wanted a fully modeled rendition of my living quarters. With the ease of use of Google’s SketchUp, I managed to do just that. I now have an almost fully realized 3d model of my apartment, and the best part about it is that it was modeled to scale down to the inch. I spent a few days running around my apartment with a tape measure ensuring every polygon was correct. Now, this may seem like a trivial task, but my apartment has quite a bit of unusual architecture due to the building’s pipes on the roof above me. Without further adieu, my humble abode.
