Aug 12th, 2008 | "My Night Light" A while back I decided that I needed a light next to the bed so I could find things in the middle of the night. Problem was, my other lamps were too bright and would blind me If I turned them on in the middle of the night. I didn't feel like buying one (cause I'm cheap and poor- probably due to buying photogear). I remembered that we had this red lava lamp that we got from somewhere (I think it belonged to one of my sisters a while back). It is actually perfect for a night light, because the eyes arent as sensative to red light so that I can turn it on and not have to wait for my eyes to adjust to what can seem like starring at the surface of the sun. The reason I chose this as my picture of the day is because I am being lazy. I was planning on doing some test shots with the beauty dish that I made from a flower bowl, a convex truck mirror and an empty 50 CD spindle. BUT.. It was pouring outside and all of my flash gear is in the car. Plus I was about to fall asleep. But I promised yesterday that I wouldn't post any more pics of the show from saturday and the goal of this project is to get me taking more pictures everyday, so there you have it..subpar work but hey, I 'Got out and shot something'. At least I have the sound of the rain on this roof to help me get to sleep! C'est La vie (Hopefully tomorrow I will have some better quality stuff to show you) |

About meI am a 26 year old broadcast engineer from Pensacola, FL. I was 14 when I bought my first real camera, a Canon AE-1 Program with a 50mm/1.4 and 135mm/3.5. I took photography in high school and college, learning about the technical aspects of photography as well as dark room processes. After high school, I wasn't taking as many pictures as I used to because of the cost of film and developing. A while later, I bought a point and shoot digital camera and started taking lots of pictures again. In October of '05 I bought a Rebel XT and really caught the bug again. I had been holding out for a while, waiting for the Canon 5D to be updated, but it got to the point where I needed a new camera. This May I purchased a 40D. I will be eventually buying a 5D but for now, I need to build up my lens collection.I have taken more photographs in the last 3 years than I have in my entire life before that. In addition to digital, I have also developed an interest in Polaroid photography, which is bad timing since Polaroid is discontinuing instant film. I am also looking into trying out medium format and possibly going back into b/w 35mm. I am working on getting better at photography and hope to one day possibly do this for more than just a hobby.LinksMy Polaroid PhotoblogMy personal website Future Home of My Design Website My Photo Projects Gallery
