CoolPix!

I’ve liked my current camera (it’s a Nikon Coolpix s52) since I bought it under duress last November in DC—but I never bothered to read the instruction manual and so it wasn’t until a couple weeks ago that I discovered the preset functions for different types of photography.

Yesterday I was in Jena’s Paradies Park […]

Macro Mode Play

Polination, in action.

I’ve been inspired by Prashanth (Flickr) to go out and play with the macro mode on my camera—and last week while hiking along an old rail-bed, I paused to reflect and to take the above photo. It’s even better in “large” format—although “original” is also an option.

Missing Rye

It’s always amazing to me how often I must remind myself that the experiences I had growing up were not the same experiences that everybody else had growing up.

20 Years On: Old Soviet Military Base

News from October 1989.

A few years ago I spotted on Flickr some photographs of an old Soviet military base located near Weimar. Thursday I finally made the trek out there with a friend—he with his sophisticated film camera, me with my crappy point and shoot digital camera.

I’d show you his pictures, but […]

Le Nozze di Figaro

I know that I’ve promised a post about what I did last Thursday and I’m please to report that I’m a lot happier with the second draft.

Unfortunately I haven’t had the time to finish revising it (some parts need to go) and uploading the related pictures to Flickr.

PsudeoWife, her real husband, and one […]
