I think Ryan took this lovely photo. I stole it from his Facebook page.

Bonnie and I took a trip to San Diego and Baja, Mexico. We had enough fun to be illegal in 49 States and the District of Columbia. Click here for the entire photo album!

Our dancing buddies. Those sombreros are not big enough.

Mariachi and son. They are singing about a dove.

Monk trying his shoe.

Ant pushing an appliance.

I offered him $200 for his shirt. And he bit me.

Bienvenidos a Ensenada!!!!

For a Shake Face Photo -- Step one: loosen cheeks; Step two: shake face; Step three: have someone take photo.

Shake Face!!

Gold bigass head.

After massive quantities of hot sauced tacos from the stand behind us. My bowels would later feel the effects. The girl on the right is Sarah. We stayed on her sailboat.

Please appreciate my surfing apparel.

Skeezy surfshop dude.

Fuzzy picture. But so amazing!!

Viva Mexico!!

Viva San Diego!! I like to imagine confetti spraying from their mouths.

Photography Techniques: Tilt Shift

j.j. — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 23:31:33 +0000

Tilt shift photographs are created using cameras with a special lens that, according to this Smashing Magazine webpage, “simulates a shallow depth of field” and “creates the illusion of looking down at a miniature model.” There are oodles of more examples at Smashing.

Dian Agung Nugroho took this photograph on the streets of China. For some reason it reminds me of people that vote Republican. Link

Eating Flowers

Check this photo stream for provocation. The lighting in these photos makes me cry a little, at least enough to fill a thimble. Mightn’t a thimblefull of tears make for a nice salty emotional additive to your next mixed drink, perhaps with a shot of Jägermeister, a float of Pernod and a cherry to sweeten the deal, shaken and stirred, spilled on the carpet, mopped up with a Hypercolor t-shirt and squeezed into a pickle jar.

Some folks are looking for the cure for cancer. Others work three jobs to feed their family. I spent an hour today looking at random photographs online. I’d like to think I’m a good person, but you know better.
