The Best Gag Wedding Gift Ever

Because sometimes you've gotta laugh and share.

Because I Like It

Its not a great photo and maybe not even a good one but I like it and that counts for something.

Improve Your Table Top Photography

Instructables has some easy instructions for making a Budget Photographic Lighting "Tent" that will markedly improve the quality of your table top small photography.

Basically, get a white (or near white) bucket. Cut a u-shape out of it, flip it over and light it from behind with a strong light. No light should shine directly into the bucket.

And.... done. Pretty easy, eh?

I will be getting a bucket tomorrow and playing around with this over the weekend. I will, of course, post results here.

Looking Out

I spent the morning on New Year's Day chasing Grady all over the Pigeon Point Lighthouse park. This was a rare moment of reflection as he enjoyed watching the waves bash into the rocks below the lighthouse.

In addition to all his running around outside, he and his cousin ran around the inside of the hostel for, literally, hours on end. He must have run several miles by the end of the evening and then ran some more when he woke up the next morning.

Doesn't he know I'm a cyclist and not a runner?

Say, what's THAT?

A friend's daughter confronts mortality with a smile. Simply awesome!
