    Sometimes, I like to visit cemeteries.Especially if they are old and ancient,With cracked markers scattered around,Like teeth in the time-worn skull of a hag,With gums made of spider webs,Showing in a deranged smile between lipsMade from the parting of darkness and emptiness.Headstones with dates from the 1800’s,Angels of death carved upon them,And bits of prose…

    So I went out tonight to try and snap a decent shot of the super-moon. I started out with a low ISO of 200 and aperture of 11 on my Canon 75-300 mm zoom. I wasn’t really getting satisfactory results though – that lens is hard to focus. Shutter speeds of around 125 – 320…

    Louis Daguerre invented the photographic process that bore his name in the late 1830’s. Today, Dan Carillo is still using the process to make stunning images. Here is a short article that profiles Dan along with a beautiful video in which Dan talks about his creative process – but he doesn’t get very technical. It’s…

    An interesting article about the photography of Jeff Bridges, along with an excellent gallery. He uses a special wide-frame camera that allows some fairly unique shots, that he has been producing since the early 80’s. An interesting read and intriguing look into the creativity of one of my favorite actors. Jeff Bridges to Be Honored…

    Here are some shots of items I found out on Carolina Beach while visiting there with the family. What is poor mans macro, you ask? It’s simple. In lieu of an actual macro lens, you can take your normal lens off the body, flip it around backwards and take pictures through it. Now, you won’t…

    Canon has an excellent simulator set up for the purpose of learning about DSLR photography. In a nutshell, there is an explanation of the basics – aperture, shutter speed, and ISO – and then a simulated camera that allows you to take a picture in manual, Av or Tv mode. It’s a great way to…

    There is a thing,A dark creature,A shadowy beingFilled with hate and evil.It’s been aliveSince Vlad put his victimsTo the stake.When Ivan took Siberia,The thing was thereWhispering hazardous thoughtsInto his mind.It’s up to no good,Never has beenAnd it is very hard to see,Never allowing itself,To be in my direct line of sight.It comes to my roomAt…

    Where am I?I’m walking down the street, on the sidewalk,A normal, everyday scenario.There are people here with me,Walking up and down, hurrying here and thereCarrying out the tasks relevant to their daily lives.There is something odd here,I can’t put my finger on it,But all of these people going to and fro,I can’t see their faces.Each…

    A man,In the middle of the night,Alone, he knows exactly what he is doing.On his knees, before a stone,Digging, bare handed,Digging down, down to what he doesn’t want to find.It is raining, pouring,Massive, bulging drops of waterBleeding from a terrible wound in the clouds,The man wails as the lightning flashes,He howls with an unsettling laughter,As…
