Random Flickr Photo of the day

Another oldy, but goody.  Shot in 2009 with my trusty old Pentax K-20D (honestly, I don’t know why I don’t use this body more often), it’s a simple shot of an old door at my aunt’s place, leaning, spent, and well used.

I don’t have much else of a story behind this shot, I just found it visually pleasing.

Earworm: “Goodnight Moon” by Go Radio.

Guys, I’m really sorry that I’ve been slacking on my posts. I went stagnant, had to deal with a bunch of kids this past weekend, and I really have to get back on my grind. So here it is, my Earworm for today.

Just a soothing tune, a song to calm the mind and relax with. A ballad for lovers and the hopelessly romantic.

But damn, is this a good song. Go Radio is a rock band from Florida, formed by former vocalist/guitarist/lyricist of Mayday Parade, Jason Lancaster. The dude has an angelic voice, and I think that, along with the piano ringing in the background, makes the whole song.

I found out about this song way back when, around last Halloween, I believe. And I have never truly gotten rid of it in my mind.

(Yes, the children’s story, “Goodnight Moon,” inspired the song.)

Random Flickr photo of the day

I shot this sometime ago, it was quite a rainy day, and I didn’t get much shooting done cause of it.
I was trying out my Pentax M50 lens, possible one of my favorite lenses in my bag, so sharp, and poppy.
The bird caught my eye, as he’s trying to take some shelter underneath the chair from all this rain. I wish I could have gotten closer.

Earworm: Little Talks – Of Monsters and Men

I’ve heard this song a few times over the last few days, and it’s been resonating in my head for some time now. Finally had a chance to look at the video, and it’s a bit trippy. I think everyone will enjoy it. The song is also, very soothing to say the least, to me anyway.

 

 

Random Flickr Photo

I think every so often, i’ll just post up a random Flickr Photo from my photostream, maybe to showcase some of my work.  I seriously want to do more work as a photographer, and maybe this will be a good way for me to get my feet wet some more.

First up, I shot this photograph some years ago, having just picked up a Super Takumar 135mm Screw mount for my Pentax K10d. I was sitting in the couch at our old place in NY.  The result was a silhouette of this plant we had on the window sill with a super buttery smooth bokeh.

I should try to use this lens more.

Earworm – Brady Bunch Theme song(s)

Yeah, so, we were singing it at work yesterday.  I forget what song we were really ‘trying’ to sing, (and really sing(ing) is also loosely interpreted as just moans, hums, and random noises in the office) but somehow we always ended up with the Brady Bunch Theme.

 

Perhaps we should do a Earworm TV theme week….hmmmmm

Getting to 1k.

I have such trivial goals in life, one of which is to get this photo of the lovely Jessica Nigri  to 1,000 hits.  I shot this photo at last years New York Comic Con, it’s kinda shitty if you ask me, but 2 things happened.

1. I got to meet Jessica Nigri

2. I was able to photograph Jessica Nigri.

Like I said, trivial goals.  Maybe sometime in the future, I may be able to do a full photo shoot of/with her.

Please the 10’s of readers that we have (and that’s being optimistic), help my photo get to 1k.

Earworm: Never Gonna Give You Up – Rick Astley

I don’t need to give much introduction to this song.  My GF mentioned it a few days ago in a text, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this song, and the video.

The song is just as amazing as his dance moves.

and just for fun, the VH1 Pop Up Video

Sorry, but I just Rick Rolled y’all =P.
