:D Now I'm obligated to reply! :D Haha.
I like the angle of it. Might be a bit too yellow? Perhaps bring the temperature down on it in PS.

This was taken in 2001 from a cruise ship on the inside passage between Vancouver and Alaska. I took it with my first digital camera, a point-and-shoot Canon Powershot - about 2MP - so archaic by today's standards :)

White balance was slightly adjusted, but otherwise it has not been retouched.

That is breathtaking! No camera would do it any better justice.

Nice one.
I used to plant trees on that coast. Wet as hell, and magic. I miss that soggy majesty.

A typhoon passed by on Sunday, and I was on my usual running route to capture the fun with a small, light tripod. Few things are more enjoyable than running on a storm-wrapped mountain. Although you can't see it, it was raining and blowing fairly hard when I took the picture. I had to shelter the lens from the rain to prevent water drops, the bane of waterproof cameras.

I lost all the freakin EXIF settings because I added my watermark and did "save for web" in Photoshop. I had no idea it did that. :(


I just bought the same type of jeans, i can tell by the "clay" that is on the jeans. They wore in super nice.

What a really unique shot! I really like your airplane photos. I keep wanting to scroll back to look at it, and I don't even exactly know why.

It almost seems like the plane just rolled up from the sea, like a... giant thing that rolls up from the sea.

Thanks! In this hussle and hurry world, it's reassuring to see time honored traditions still being practiced. The airplane is a symbol of the hussle and hurry world yet it is contrasted by a traditional gesture that serves no practical purpose, has no ultra-utilitarian value, but it is nevertheless done and it succeeds in re-humanizing an otherwise mechanical world.

I chased this frog around quite a bit, snapping pictures one rainy spring day. About the size of half a thumb, this little guy had a curiously-coloured, day-glo red belly. I picked this picture today because it's raining, and I'm heading up

I love the way those froggy eyes stare at me. I think I'm in love...
