359/365. I am Santa — and I like apples

Except of course, not this one - because it's wrotten.

Hey, who said my ideas would start to make any sense by the end of the year?

Anyway, Merry Christmas folks. Don't waste your time here. Go play with some new toys ;)

Or of course, see the details...

356/365. The commute — join me on a walk

Yesterday I did a shoot for a friend in the evening, but realized I didn't request permission ahead of time to post any... so that's where that day went.

Anyway, I've had Sublime's Don't push on repeat for what seems like 5 days straight (It's even playing as I type this). Not entirely sure why.... but it's fun to quote it randomly.

In other news, 9 days left. Hell yes.

And if you're wondering what I'm going to do on the 365th day... I still haven't a clue... only in that I've been thinking about it every day since day 1.

Moving right along.... to the important stuff. This shot was a simple setup (all things considered).

351/365. Fresh scents — can unexpectedly appear

This time of year, everything is a blur. Oh will I ever look forward to January 1st.

295/365. Formidably Tireless — and still kinda sane ( << relaly, best viewed large )

I'm nearing three hundred days of this stuff... it's.... getting tiring.... but pictures still come about.

Good news, FlashBullet has landed a wedding at the Orava Castle in Slovakia next year! How awesome is that.

Other than that... it's time to sack.

293/365. Hero of Darkness — join the evening

I brought my camera to work this morning in hopes to catch some nice downtownish shots. It was too foggy. So I waited until after work and let what the D3 does best.

Regarding this shot, believe it or not, only took about 5 takes.

However the best part is that you're usually not allowed to do commercial photography in this area, yet I was able to get the security guard to take my setup shot!

Kay. Let's do this...
