Feb 11, 2008 (2 of 2) A close-up of the chip on my smart card parking card. In Princeton, we don't have to use coins in our meters or take tickets at the parking garages. We have these handy dandy smart cards that shove in the meter and it puts time on for us. We can even get refunds if we leave the spot early. That little micro chip currently has $50 on it. While trying to come up with a Macro Photo this morning, I tried some coffee beans. I took about 25 photos before I got frustrated and gave up. I just wasn't getting the detail I wanted. I think it was just because they were too dark. I tried all kinds of light sources and a flash, but I was just too picky this morning. Since I've been rambling a lot already today, I might as well keep going. The photos that Hillary Shemin and Michael Sullivan took of their cameras inspired me to try it as well. Here's what I came up with.
Feb 11, 2008 (1 of 2) Here's Mia playing in a chair. I had a small photo shoot with her yesterday. She's pretty quick, so it's very hard to get good shots of her. She also kept sliding off the chair, and I kept putting her back because I thought the dark chair went well with her fur. You all must think I put the macro lens down for 2 days, but you would be wrong. Yesterday's and Today's photo were taken with the Macro lens. It's a sweet piece of glass. There are some more cute photos of Mia HERE. I'm off today, so It will be a 2 photo day. The second photo is
Feb 10, 2008 Nassau Hall I was at work for over 14 hours yesterday, and when I escaped for dinner, I managed to get a picture of Nassau Hall on Princeton's Campus. This building has some very bright architectural lights on the ground only 6 or 8 feet away from the base of the building. There are also a dozen of the same lights hung in the trees. Anyhow, the front of this building is very bright. This was my alternate photo for the day. Here's an Update on the Dead Duck from Groundhog Day.
