    First experience with the Droid X

    I got a Droid X this week. The thing is simply amazing. I’ve had a blackberry for the last two years, and the performance with it was sub optimal, in my opinion. I spent more time looking at the spinning hourglass on that blackberry than I did anything else. At any rate, the Droid X…

    The always wonderful photo site Polar Inertia has a great set of abandoned pools in their archive from summer of 2008. These pictures show the life of a pool after all the people have gone away and forgotten about it, after the water is gone and plant life and / or decay is allowed to…

  • Strange Russian Seaplane

    Here’s a gallery of photos from an abandoned seaplane. I’m assuming it’s Russian, as the text from the website appears to be Russian and only something from Russia would look this insane. I don’t know much about the photographer, other than that his name may possibly be Igor. If anyone knows Russian and can translate…

    Here are a few shots I did on the night of my birthday. It was around 2:30 am. I had gotten off work and headed up to a place called Northwest, where I knew of some nice open fields that I might be able to set up nearby and get some nice sky shots with…

    Originally uploaded by fubuki I’ve been following Fubuki for years, ever since I saw a set of his photos featuring Wilmington, NC posted by Richard Perry on his Akira Media blog. Something about his photos inspires me, whether its a tribal dancer in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato as seen here, or a snapshot through…

    Opacity is a photoblog run by Tom Kirsch, aka Motts. The man simply goes where I would never have the kihones to even look at, much less enter. And he brings back photographic evidence. His photos are pretty amazing, he obviously spends quite a bit of time in the places he visits getting his shots…

    Thanks to my friend Paul, I came across this set of photographs from the early 40’s. They’re in color! These images show us a time when there was no internet, no television, no X-box or Wii, and definitely no cell phones. And yet, these people manage to get along just fine. You can see a…

    A few weeks ago I noticed a butterfly at work. It was flapping around on the ground, so I knew it wouldn’t live much longer. So I decided I’d bring him home, show him to the girls so they could get a good close look at a butterfly. I put him between two small paper…

    I remember it like it was yesterday. My Grandparents on my Dad’s side from Georgia were visiting. It’s the only time it happened. I never saw my grandparents anywhere other than Hazelhurst, GA. Except for this one time, in the winter of 1980. The winter that it snowed over a foot. I remember hearing that…
