Lupe Fiasco – Lasers : Album Cover of the Year

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

This is genius. Seriously. I’m thinking about getting “laser” tattooed somewhere now.

The album is pretty good, too, after I got over the fact that it wasn’t what I wanted it to be musically. Lyrically, it is still deep, still impressive. Musically, it is a bit light for me. Very dancy. Very [...]

The Song in My Head When I Woke Up 2010

Saturday, February 26th, 2011

I wake up with a song in my head most mornings. In fact, I have some random song playing in my head almost every moment of the day. There is no way I’m going to track every song playing in my head so I decided to only track the song in my head when [...]

Charlotte Will Host the 2012 Democratic National Convention

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

This should be interesting… I’m sure the teabaggers will be out in force with their unintentionally ironic and mispelt signs so, if nothing else good comes of it, I should be able to wander around and get some good photos that week.

Worst. Logo. Ever.

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010

Fab.com has the worst logo I have ever seen (outside of the adult video industry). I’m not sure who thought a gay dating site logo should literally have an a-hole…

What I’m Watching – Fall/Winter 2010 Edition

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

Sons of Anarchy The 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy just ended this week. I had planned on posting this before any of the shows ended but these days there isn’t really “a fall season” so shows tend to start and end at random times. This show reminds me of of early seasons [...]

June 24, 2007 : The Night Fat City Fell

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

Click the pic above to see my photos from June 24, 2007, the night a storm blew down the front wall of Fat City. By then, that wall was all that was left of the Fat City Deli. The rest had been demolished and the site was waiting for new construction to begin. That new [...]

Four Photographic Lessons I Learned at Disney World

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

1. Shooting animals with a camera out of a moving vehicle is probably harder than shooting them with a gun. Turning on Continuous Focus helped the focus but not the motion blur.
2. I have no clue how to use the pop-up flash on my camera. I’m not sure if I should break out [...]
