Photographic Fetishes

Things that I must stop to photograph if I have my camera (that is to say, always):

Razor wire, cemeteries, graffiti, sparrows, chains, abandoned lots, motorcycles, fruit stands, Broadway in winter, driftwood, rust, broken fences, tunnels, strangely designed staircases, rotary phones, black cats.

Flickr Pro

Does anyone have a strong argument for buying a Flickr pro account? I'd like to be able to create more sets, but that's really a pretty minor benefit -- and especially since they just increased the monthly upload limit to 100MB, I'm not sure it's worth it. Thoughts?

Stranger 003

Kunsthotel

Cartoon rendering, right?

...Nope. It's a hotel room at the Arte Luise Kunst Hotel in Berlin.

Line Rider

The simplest yet most effective time-waster I've seen in a while..

EDIT: Okay, this requires a complete repost. Here I was, making simple roller-coaster-type tracks for Line Rider when people like Ryan have been creating ridiculous 3-D worlds like Line Ride of Doom. Also check out Urban Run and Best of Both Worlds. What.

Stranger 002

Malibu Sunset

Favorite Childhood Fallacy

I used to believe that D.C. was under the joint mayorship of Mary and Barry.

Stranger 001

In theory, I am going to attempt to take a photo of a stranger every day for the duration of 2007. We'll see how this works...

Happy New Year!

I think that tomorrow (or rather, when I wake up today) my single new year's resolution will be to attempt to embark on a photo-a-day project, much like Roark Johnson's Stranger A Day project in 2004. I'm not sure if I can keep up 365 days of portraiture, but that might be an interesting exercise as well ... who knows?
