June 1, 2008 My Desk I didn't have the time or motivation to take any exciting shots today, so you get a picture of my desk. I've seen a lot of these shots on the DP community over the past year, so I thought I'd contribute. About my desk... The desk was actually a set piece in a show called "Boris Godunov." Here's an article about the show at Princeton Univ and some photos of the set which included 150 22' Bungee Cords. I can't even begin to tell you how fun the bungees were! Unfortunately, the desk is not pictured in that article... ANYHOW, I took the desk and refinished the top. On my desk, there's a random assortment of things, including: Laptop, mouse, a file folder with my apartment lease in it (long story), bear saw, nail set (from the spice rack I built last week), Miller Lite Hat (True Pilsner Taste...), cat treats (to throw at them, so they stop sitting on my keyboard), external hard drive (where my pictures are stored), a hackle (for future photo-ops), modem, router, eyeglass case, mouse charger, pencil cups, lamp, pencil sharpener, and a Pilsner Urquell Coaster. Did I miss anything? The empty spot on the upper right of the desk is empty because that's where Dynamo has to lay and watch me work. He will push everything off the desk, if I don't keep it clear for him.
May 31, 2008 (3 of 3) This is a statue of King Lear. This my third shot of today from the Grounds for Sculpture I like the composition of this shot. I had to kneel at his feet to get a shot of his face. I used a polarizing filter, but most of the rich blue sky was done in post. Thanks to Lindsay for telling me to get a shot of his face! Here's a link to my Gallery of the day (morning) trip.
May 31, 2008 (2 of 3) GUESS WHAT? PEACOCK BUTT! How often do you see a peacock from the rear? Leave it to me to be different and show you what it's like. This peacock at Grounds for Sculpture was showing off and doing his best impression of a model with complete spins and fancy footwork. Here's a link to my Gallery of the day (morning) trip.
