Today, an RV randomly caught fire a few hundred yards from my apartment. It was odd because it had been sitting there for nearly an hour before it caught fire according to my girlfriend. I don’t think anyone was in it but it did burn for quite some time, it was nearly out when I shot this photo.

This is the Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G ED that I’m shooting with tonight. It’s beautiful and HEAVY. It’s currently mounted on a spare D90 body. It just looks so nice.

What a fine Friday

April 9th, 2010 • 1 comment chatter

It’s the weekend and it’s another busy one. Got some hanging out to do tonight, a concert to shoot tomorrow night, museum outing tomorrow afternoon, and something on Sunday which I can’t recall. I need it after the exams this week, we’re on the home stretch for this semester. I’m registered for more core classes next semester and am looking for summer classes.

Sorry for the recent lack of posts, school has gotten in the way with my shooting and updating. I hope to find smell fun shots this weekend, maybe we’ll go to the beach. But right now I’ve got to get back to work!

Am I being obtuse? – Photo of the Day #76

A fantasic outside shot of the southside of the Adrienne Arsht Performing Arts Center in Miami, FL. We went there last night to a Johnnie Walker Tasting Experience to sampe their fine line of blended scotches. It was a great mixer and a fun time while enjoying some fine scotch, definitely looking forward to this again.

I love the juxtaposition of the very angled architecture of the Arsht Center with a typical Miami business skyscraper behind it. The stark white color offset by a backgrounded neon white/blue gives this fantastic feel of opulent versus spartan.
