Dinner
With Thanksgiving practically around the corner, I thought I’d remind everyone (at least for those in the United States) of the awesome food that we will all be consuming.
This was from 2 years ago. I have yet to process my photos from last year’s Thanksgiving, which I think I should…….=/
I’m hungry already
Dead Bug
Apologies, I am a bit late in posting this photo. I was a bit torn on what to post today, and I was also busy at work earlier, and I could not sneak it in. In any case, I don’t know what sort of insect this is, but I found it somewhere, and I decided to keep it in a film canister for photo purposes. Set on a white poster board, it made for a nice peaceful photo if you may.
I used my Nikon D700 with the Micro Nikkor 60mm Macro, and a Nikon SB900 flassh pointed up.

Toy cars
These were the first few days I shot of this years, very short, and very much failed 365 set. My first subject was toy cars, and I did have a ton to shoot, but a trip to Florida, and some other stuff going down quickly put a kibosh on my project. Maybe next year I can get going on it again, maybe.

A phenomenal song. Seriously, just listen. Shirley’s voice, and the ‘Heads arrangement…EPIC.
This was also used in a Jaguar car ad, and I cannot seem to find it. if anyone knows of this, can you please post?
Okay, a first for me, and more to come in the future.
This is my first Earworm post chronicling my favorite band of all time. I’d held back on writing about them, for their songs are literally always stuck in my head. I know the lyrics to all the songs off of their 5 albums, trust me. The Big Cheese can attest to this.
But this one is special. Although it isn’t the first song I heard off the album (it would’ve been “Burn it Down”), it, for me, marked the return of Mike’s rap, something that has been gone for a while. It reared its head here and there, but in “Lost in the Echo,” it became obvious clear that Mike Shinoda still has the rhythm and rhyme.
During an assembly for school, a video was shown. The title intro song? LOST IN THE ECHO. I damn near just got up out of my seat, walked on stage, and started singing it. Wish I had.
Oh, and the music video just came out, about a month ago. It released as an interactive video. You linked your Facebook account to the video and the characters interacted with you, using your photos as the memories that were “lost in the echo.”
Shower scene.
This was taken during Run-A-Muck back in 2010. It was a fun event, and I should seek one out and shoot one again.
These were some of the participants taking a shower after their run.

Awesome Eyes
Shot during last years New York City Comic Con (yeah, LAST YEAR, I missed this years due to procrastination and amnesia), I saw her while on my way out for a quick break. I forget which character she was from, but she had different coloured contact lenses for each eyes, and it just look awesome. Had to get a close up.

More randomness, I mean totally random. I am trying to post stuff I’ve already shot before, and try to bring you newer shots. It’s a win win, since I really do need to get my head back into shooting, regardless of what camera I use, Cell phone, P/S, DSLR or otherwise.
Today I bring you some of the stuff that populate my desk. It’s typical in almost everyone’s desk, but, eh, it had some sort of colour combination or whatever. I thought it made for an interesting instagram shot.

Whoever thought of this up is pure genius and should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. I mean seriously, I think Bacon can solve a lot of the world’s problems, and Bacon Roses?!, hell, if someone that I was pissed off with, gave me bacon roses, then, it’s water under the bridge, as they say.
This is EPIC-ness to the umpteenth degree.

My apologies for skipping a day, I was out with some sort of stomach virus that pretty much took me out all of yesterday and the better part of today. I am feeling better however, and normal useless posts will resume.
Today’s random photo is Raging Bitch by Flying Dog Brewery. The name really implies this beer. It has a mean taste, and a mean bark. If you don’t heed to it, it will bite you in the ass in more ways than one. One of my more recent favorite brews. Pick up a sixer if you ever get to see this around.
