Heated conversation

070408-1-02t by ezwal

I’m sure this conversation was nowhere as heated as it looks. Tom always has great expressions.

We all spent the 4th of July in Sutton, WV at Maplewood. I’ll stick up a picture of the house at some point too.

edit — Here’s the house.


All lined up and nowhere to go

The lighting in this shop made these watering cans look like art. The lady thought I was a little strange for taking this picture.

Taken in a flower shop in Brooklyn, NY, sometime in February. The roll was dated from March, but it was a slow month for me and was left over from the previous one.

This was taken over by the Hamilton Train station. It’s the old American Standard factory. When I was wandering around, they were in the process of gutting the buildings and turning them into office space. It was actually kind of cool. The buildings had these old kilns in them, which were being preserved and integrated into the office space.

The Reckless Proliferation of Facial Hair

This shot you guys took of a truckstop patron caught my eye and gave me a chuckle:

Them there's some ass-kickin' mud flaps.

I showed it to She Dragon and She in turn wryly pointed out the salty growth of barnacles that’d recently taken hold on my own face:

A seaman's work is never done.

Proof once again that people with shag carpets shouldn’t throw lice.

Or something slightly more coherent.

DNG Workflow

Here’s some workflow helper scripts for digital photography. A couple of assumptions are made with these scripts:

  • You use OS X 10.4 – mandatory since this stuff uses Automator.
  • You use Adobe DNG (version 3.2) – not mandatory, but you have to take out the dng conversion steps.
  • You want your photos stored in a date hierarchy, specifically /yy/mmddyy/yyyymmdd-xxxx.dng. The xxxx is the original number from the raw file. As an example, a photo taken on Aug. 11th, 2005 would be stored in /05/081105/20050811-2927.dng.
  • I use a Canon Digital Rebel, so the naming conventions are CRW_xxxx.CRW, CRW_xxxx.THM, and IMG_xxxx.JPG

The Market

Long time, no see. I’ve got a couple of things that I’ve been meaning to post, but you know how it goes. Anyway, Mike was bugging me to put some pictures up, so here’s one from China. This is from a street market.

Points of interest:

  • crate full of bunny rabbits
  • crate full of “meal beetles” or whatever you call the beetles that meal worms turn into
  • crate full of multicolored bugs
  • most importantly, crate full of dyed baby chickens

I’m not sure what is appealing about a green chick, but there it is. I didn’t ask for the price of any of these, but I’m sure it was dirt cheap.
