One of my fave shots during the ‘Where is Garfield Now’ era, or WIGN for short. I just did some play with some lights, and made one of my Alien toys, stalking Garfield.
I really ought to bring back a similar series. The original Pez dispenser is all beat up, so I should pick up another similar one.

Shot during my first month of owning the D700, and well, at a time where my hours were cut to 4 day’s every other week , hence giving me the opportunity to go out and shoot. I mostly ended up NY’s Central Park.
This particular one, I happen to catch a man preparing to play his portable piano. It wasn’t a keyboard, bit it was some sort of piano. I thought it would be a great shot to catch his silhouette, and use the rest of the park outside the arches as the backdrop. I don’t know, maybe now I might do it a little different.

A few first’s for this RFPD. It’s the first entry that I shot this year, first that is also the most viewed from my Flickr Photostream, and the first flower shot with my new to me Nikkor 50mm f/1.4. (picked it up this past Friday).
This was shot at Cheesecake’s house, in their backyard. Not that crazy about it, but I really was just playing around with my new to me lens. I have shot with the fast fifty before, but, this one, I call my own, and it just feels different. It’s one of my favorite lenses really, and I am so glad to have it finally in my bag. Hopefully I can get to shoot more with it soon.

I might do some more post-editing on this one. I’ll make sure to post it up when I do.
Today’s photo of the day is brought to you by me, for your amusement, of course.
Andy the Android shows his dominance over Apple, and with the recent release of the iPhone 5, he is still showing some luster. Androids go!

Andy the Android is showing his dominance. He ravaged an apple and I couldn’t be any more proud.
And today’s most viewed photograph on my Flickr photostream with a whopping 12 views is….
I thought this was Link at first. The dude in the back appeared in a few more of my photos….FAIL!
Again this was from 2011’s New York City Comic Con. This year’s is less than a month away, and we will be on hand for more photos!
And today’s most viewed photograph on my Flickr photostream with a whopping 6 views is….
Jessica Nigri posing with Garfield.
Again this was from last year’s New York City Comic Con. And what’s up with the Pez Garfield you may ask. Well, see for yourself. Where is Garfield now?
Nothing special on this shot, just a quick test on how my then new Canon Powershot S95 would handle low light situations. It handled it pretty damn well. Prior to me getting the S95, I never cared much for point and shoots. But I got tired of lugging either my Nikon D700, or Pentax K20, so to relieve myself of carrying around bulky DSLR’s I did some research, and found the S95 to be a good grab and go shooter. I am pretty much in love with this little monster, and I will not hesitate to recommend this or any of it’s successors to anyone. Time and again, this has captured images just as good as my 2 DSLR’s, granted it’s still limited, but still packs a punch.
As you can see on the photo below, it captured the night scene fairly well.

Now, I may or may not be able to post for the next few days.
Have a good weekend everyone!
Thanksgiving, possibly my favorite holiday. Food,football and Black Friday all form to make it one fantastical weekend. I enjoy eating food as much as I like photographing them, and this particular one was our dessert selections for that night. To the left was a caramel apple cheesecake a friend of mine made for me. It was quite delectable, and is one of the best cheesecakes i’ve had. To the right, pecan pie my mother made. with the right amount of sweetness, it made for a great companion with coffee. In essense this was the double team of dessert deliciousness.

Another shot from 2009, I had a lot of time then, as the company I worked for cut back our hours so that everyone can stay employed, and not have anyone get laid off, so to make good use of that extra found free day, I did some photography. I should honestly find a way to do this again, even if it’s a few shots a day. I do tend to get rusty, and looking at my shot list this year, it’s severely down from my usual 10k or shots a year.
Anyway, this shot was from a fine spring day in Central Park, NYC, it was quite gloomy, but I still somehow managed to squeeze off a few shots. This particular frame is a weeping willow, somewhere in the park. I did some processing fun with Lightroom, and managed to produce this.

In addition to my random Flickr Photos, I will start posting my shot with the most hits of the day.
Today’s shot is the lovely Jessica Nigri interviewing a fellow cos-playing as Super Saiyajin 3 Son Gokou of Dragon Ball Z.
This was shot during last years New York Comic Con.
I’m going to be doing a first for my posts. I’m going to rant. It will be vague, it will be clean, and it will be anonymous. So yes. Read at will.
You know, it kind of bugs me how I’m always the one that has to spend my money to visit. What, you can’t do vice versa and take the train to visit me for a change? This goes for all of my friends, anywhere. I visit them, but they don’t have the freedom to visit me? They’re the ones more accustomed to public transportation! Jeez, give and take, people. That’s how life works. You give a little, and you take a little. Don’t let it be one sided.
