Waiting

This picture helps me illustrate a little bit of evolution in taste. When I first created it, I thought “this picture will be on the front page for sure.” Now, however, I can’t decide whether or not I think it’s too boring or if meets my minimal level of “interesting-ness”. Also, i did not use to mind highly saturated, almost nuclear feeling, colors. Now, however, the pictures on the left wall kind of bother me.

I might use this image to explore some of the techniques I’ve learned while watching Trey Ratcliff’s new HDR DVD, since remixing in one of the original images might be a good way to tone down the pictures on the wall. I will have a review of that DVD coming up fairly soon. I’ve finally watched all six and half hours of content and I have quite an extensive review in its early draft stages.

For the Bees

My sister and I went to eat at the Tobacco Road Sports Cafe today for lunch and I walked her past the building that I used to work in, which is now apparently used by Burt’s Bees. This is a picture I took a few weeks ago of that same building. Oh, and Tobacco Road Sports Cafe, really quite good.

What will it take for you to try Lucky Strikes?

Every time I see the Lucky Strike logo / towers at the American Tobacco complex in Durham, I think of that first bit of Mad Men where the viewer was introduced to Don Draper. Over the past view days, I took a bunch of pictures over at the American Tobacco complex and some of them are going to be showing up on my frontpage pretty soon. This shot didn’t quite make that cut, but I think qualifies for my Snapshots section.

Durham Skyline (from a short tripod)

Though I’ve been really happy with my Zipshot tripod, I wish it was just a little bit taller (or the railings on the top of this parking garage weren’t so ridiculously high). I though about cropping the photo to get rid of the railing but ultimately it just looked better this way. Not quite good enough for my frontpage, but I do kind of like the picture.
