This sign, found at a rest area just west of Goodland KS, had a decal added. Doing a little research, it’s promoting an album called “Genius” by Krizz Kaliko. I’ve never heard of him, but I thought this kind of promotion was pretty cool.

Project 365 : Unsinkable
Becky returned from the BMDCA national specialty this weekend. Molly marched in the Veteran’s Parade — for Berners seven years old or older — and was rewarded with a wonderful coffee mug celebrating her longevity.
Project 365 : C Is for Crop Circle
Tonight, I photographed a deconstructed Handspring Visor. These etchings sit below the buttons on the unit, and reminded me once again of crop circles. Go figure. 
Project 365 : Holey Blue Moley!
Tonight’s image was just a quicky. I’ve been staring at the blue light in my eSATA enclosure for a while, thinking that it’d make a nice subject. And so it has.
I made this image with my Canon 7D and Canon MP-E 65mm/2.8 lens at 1x life size. I worked the image in Photoshop CS4E, Nik Viveza and a little touch of localized work in Lightroom.
Project 365 : Earbud Eclipse
Tonight’s dive into macroland is a tight shot of my unused iPhone earbuds. Once again, I captured the image with my Canon 7D and my Canon MP-E 65mm/2.8, this time at about 2x life size. I lit this with a desk lamp, and then processed the image in Adobe Photoshop CS4E, with a touch of Nik Color Efex Pro thrown in.
Project 365 : Steal These Shoes
In the copy room at work today, I found these rubber overshoes, with a pleading note atop them:
“Please! Take me home before someone throws me away!”
It’s my bet that somebody nabbed them from someone else’s office as a prank. But think of the plight of these lonely rubber overshoes, soulless and lonely. Afraid for their very existence. It’s terrifying!
Project 365 : Blue Diamonds
Every time I think I’m done with the pendulum, it surprises me with something new. Today, I noted these fine diamonds etched in the sand by the pendulum from another recent session with it, and decided that they might look nice with some low-angle lighting added. I liked the look.
Once I pulled the image into Photoshop CS4E, I used Nik Viveza to nudge the image to black and white, and add the deep blue toning. I’m a big “blue” fan, so this deep blue toning really spoke to me.
Enjoy!
Fresh Art: Blue Chesspieces
Tonight, I pulled my old slide light table out, put a glass chessboard atop it, and began to play with some glass chesspieces I had lying about.
I’ve been wanting to play with this light table for a while, and finding these chesspieces gave me just the excuse. I suspect I’ll use it with some other images of bottom-lit glass and liquids. Should be some fun experimenting.
Blue Chesspieces is available through my online gallery in a variety of sizes.

Fresh Art: Moonrise at Yavapai Point
NOTE: Today begins the release of a series of images from our trip to the American southwest in 2004. Enjoy, and come back frequently to see this fresh art!
Getting up early to catch the sunrise at the lip of the Grand Canyon, Becky and I were treated to a beautiful early glow in the sky, with the Moon leading the Sun by a few hours. Sunrises like this make me feel like I can see almost every color possible.
