Hey kids, the back end of my website’s been broken for a few months now and I just haven’t had the drive to sit and troubleshoot for a few hours until today. I’ve updated now and then in that period, ’cause I could still get in through an oddball iphone app n’ stuff.

Anyway, if you’re wondering why I stopped posting… there it is.

Enjoy this video (shot on aforementioned iphone) of a Railgrinder I saw on my way home from edmonton the other day.

I was poking through the iphone app store and came
across this little surprise. Just thought it might come in handy for you fringers (read:not me) in the coming weeks. http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/edmonton-fringefest/id385446133?mt=8

Dave Said he was heading out to take pictures of ants, and I thought that was a great idea, so I did the same. Here are some Ants carrying a wasp. Shot with an Olympus E-PL1 and a Nikon 105mm macro attached via adapter. So, these ants are 2:1. To give you an idea of how small they are, that wasp that you’re probably figuring is an inch or so across is approximately 5mm from head to stinger.

Just ‘Cause I can. Here’s a picture of a pygmy owl I sneakily took in a petstore in japan with my 10.5nikon Fisheye lens. Corrected and uncorrected using PhotoShop CS5′s Lens Correction filter.

I keep trying to find this damned picture on my blog and forgetting it’s on my other blog, so I’m adding it here. Drew it long ago.

Marc’s brother: “I was on some internet thing and I realized something. The Wendy’s girl is sexy. see evidence.”
Marc: “yeah… you see that little signature that looks like a 5-year-old signed it? That would be dean’s signature.”

by the way though… here’s the real wendy…

Here’s one of the problems with long exposures on a digital camera. once that sensor starts heating up, all hell breaks loose. this exposure is only 2 or 3 minutes and look at that purple haze in the corners.

Just an HD video (so you can jump clean up to 720p if you want) I shot at Dillinger Escape Plan last night (Thanks Catherine!) while playing with my new camera. You, might want to mute it ’cause the poor little mic in my E-PL1 couldn’t quite handle the decibels. Mostly just so you can see them all rocking right in my face as if to rock it clean off.

Hearing is slowly returning.
