If you own any strobes or monolights, one of the annoying little things that you've probably been able to deal with, util now, has been the fact that you have to dongle the flash receiver from the strobe by the phono plug.
Been a while since I had some leisure time to go see a show, so I spent the evening checking out the monthly "1st Thursday of the Month" Burlesque show hosted by New York Pinup Club.
One of the potential perks that come with donating your email address to businesses, is getting invited to free events. Last month, Michele and I got to attend a Holiday party Preview event at Bowlmore Lanes near 42nd street.
The Museum of Natural History has got an interesting exhibit on the BRAIN that I want to check out, but not today. Instead I took a casual stroll through the museum, snapping some pictures of some things I found interesting. It's funny that much is the same as it was when I visited as a child in the 1st or 2nd grade... there's some comfort in that for some reason. I'll check out the BRAIN exhibit soon, that and the Hayden...
One evening, after work, I took the 28-300mm L lens that I rented for 7 days on a final excursion.
I've had a macro lens adapter for several years now, but never had the motivation to try to get the darned thing working. The trouble with macro photography, and with using front element attachments - is that you have to work soooo close to your subject, that it's not easy to remain comfortable for long enough to get a good shot of your subject.

I do wish her neck and hips were more flexible though. I can't manage to get her to take some seated poses that involve wrapping her arms around both of her legs; she's just not pliable enough. That's not so bad though, not every...
On Valentine's day I spent the evening at Etsy labs working on painting of glass hearts, the one's we're holding up in the photo. It was fun, reminded me of being in elementary, or middle school.
We've been having a particularly stormy and icy winter this year. I think I finally have the chance to take those kinds of photos which make me jealous of more remotely located photographers. If you live in Canada, I hate you, Denver, hate, Alaska, I hate you for the landscapes you see on the daily. I'm only kidding really, I'm not a bitter person , especially since we have some parks here which if you photograph on a day like...
Lately I spend my days reading and reading and reading more of the same.
