Crazy Crawdad

He's in a mop bucket now, but when I found him, this crawdad was swimming around in the bottom of our pool.

When is a Scanner Not a Scanner?

When it is a canoscanner. Goofy made up names like this bug me. I bought a film scanner so I could scan in old family photos. And the Holga negatives.

Full Circle

I bought a Holga camera to experiment with... Even with all the digital equipment I now have, I cannot resist the dreamy look of the Holga prints. Speaking of prints, getting 120 film processed is more of a chore than I expected. I found a local lab that will do the work. Wal*Mart also prints the film for about a third of the cost, but the film is sent out. I shot a quick test roll, and have dropped it off to see how good Wal*Mart does. I'm half convinced that the film won't get processed. I'll know for sure on March 19.

19 Frames of Nostalgia

I made this video at an exhibit at the children's museum we took the kids to... This was the first animation I did in about 20 years. Filmed off a monitor with my cellphone, so the quality is even worse than you would expect.

Come On

I like riding my bike as much as the next guy, but -

Well, actually I don't like riding my bike as much as the next guy since this dude is hauling a kid stroller behind his bike on a very busy, and very shoulderless, road.

ER

I have a killer, hopefully no pun intended, pain in my side. I am incredibly miserable and very, very tired. As you might guess, I am very bored as well.

I Never Thought It Would Happen to Me
