Something Eerie in the Magic Kingdom

I've been wrong before, but I can't help but imagine this is more than coincidence.

Okay I was bored.

Sky Sailing

Two weeks have passed since I intended to bring up my glider adventure. Instead of going into details, I've decided to share some photos.

See the rest of the photos here.

Zombie Shop

Addicts of Facebook may recognize the acronym AZDI. The American Zombie Defense Initiative, a large-ish community on the popular networking site, is a North American-based group dedicated to, you guessed it, fighting off the inevitable zombie apocalypse.

The point is, awhile back I had the time to entertain myself with such nonsense. Here are a couple of AZDI-related photoshops I slapped together.

Mania de Fotografia

Four and a half grueling hours later, I've nearly completed optimizing the 200-something odd photos from this past summer for publication.

Unfortunately, my eyes are on the verge of explosion, so I have decided to quit for the evening and, instead, spent a moment to kickstart an album dedicated to Creative Photography. There are currently fifty photographs for your enjoyment, with more to come.

Also, look forward to 225 more photos from Summer '07 by Friday.

Well, 2007 is officially dead and gone, and most of us have long since ushered in the new year. Others, such as myself, keep writing 2007 on all of our papers.

Since I returned from the relatively-frigid north in time for the New Year, I've been busily working towards a previously-unknown equilibrium between the various elements in my life. Needless to say, my efforts have since taken a backseat to the real world. I have, however, begun work on compiling my photography into various public albums. While I am slipping further and further from fulfillment of my previous promise to deliver on a photo gallery of my East Coast trip, I have uploaded several albums as a sort of atonement.

Dia de los Muertos Celebration

On a fairly interesting side note, technology blog Gizmodo seems to have made quite a stir at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this year. While Richard Blakeley's stunt is - quite honestly - hilarious, journalists and fellow bloggers alike are up in arms over the gradeschool humor. While repercussions won't likely extend beyond Blakeley's blacklisting, Rafe Needleman has some valid concerns.

Still, MAKE's TV-B-Gone does look pretty nifty.

Christmas Excuses

Christmas is drawing closer with every passing hour, and the stresses of presents and cards and family have seen their welcomes worn. It's been a busy month, and I intend to apologize for the lack of content, but I'll be on a plane late this afternoon, so it will have to wait.

Below are a couple of photographs from this past summer. Keep your eyes out for a full album containing these photos in early January.

These photographs were taken during my time spent last summer on the road from Florida to Maine. The first photograph was taken in Newport, Rhode Island along the cliff walk there. The second two photos were taken in Hampden, Maine and Richmond, Virginia, respectively. The last picture was taken at a shiplock in Richmond. The photograph at the top was taken in Tavernier, FL, and features a Monroe County Police Officer and a man with conviction.

Photography - 'Sacrilege'

Though it's a bit late, it seemed appropriate to post something with a bit of an autumnal flare.

This photograph was taken in October of 2006. Just about anybody who lives in the upper Keys is familiar with this annual pumpkin display in front of the Burton Memorial Methodist church in Tavernier. The apparent embrace of Halloween - the very holiday which occasionally sparks a certain measure of controversy in several regions of the United States - holds a uniquely satisfying hint of sacrilege that catches my attention no matter how many times I see it.
