How Beautiful to Be

So I bought a tripod at an antique store last week for eight bucks. A few nights ago I hung out in the backyard at night and messed around with some longer exposures a little bit. These are some of the results. I'm pretty psyched for how the look. Expect more night shots, and long exposures soon. Also I went to the grand opening of a star wars store today, so there should be some stormtrooper pics on here pretty soon as well.

It's a gray sunday today. Thick clouds, cool thick air, and the possibility of thunderstorms later. Luckily I've got a roof over my head, and a few cups of coffee in my belly. Today I'm continuing with the dead bird theme that's been taking over the blog as of late. Our dog Spyke took out this little robin one day in the backyard. Tim buried it after we took these pictures. It's all good since our little buddy Mohommad's chicks have hatched and we have new life in the backyard.

not always as smart as you think

Back from Wisconsin. I didn't take a ton of pictures while I was out of town, again. Fortunately though this roll that I just got back had a bunch of good stuff on it. Proof of my hurt ankle, good shots of some friends, some more dead birds, and a cute little raccoon that had been hanging out in my mom's barn. I'm about to head out to first Thursdays and check out the galleries before work. If you're out in Portland and looking for cool photos and good coffee, stop by Crema, at SE 28th and Ankeny because my pal Brent(vivasalo.blogspot.com) has a photo show there that is opening tonight. Check it out. Enjoy.
