Horsing Around

2008

I went horseback riding today with my camera, the pictures that were not completely blurry are now up on Flickr. Western-style riding is ideal for this, since you only need to keep one hand on the reins at all times, instead of both (as you do when you ride English-style). However, it is not ideal ...

Chaplin likes to come sit on my lap while I’m trying to read things on the computer. Fortunately, my computer has a built-in camera so I can capture him making goofy faces like this one: If only I could figure out how to make the flash less bright so it wouldn’t completely blow out his ...

Please enjoy these photos of my father and stepmother’s tour of the “Five ‘Stans”: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan. Dad’s still figuring out how Flickr works, so his captions (which contain a fair bit of historical context for what you’re looking at) are actually posted as comments. Although some of the comments, like this ...

My next door neighbor just took this picture after hearing Chap whining and then seeing him stick his paws out under the door: Poor bored kitten. He looks so hilariously pathetic in that picture.

I’ve finally uploaded the last of the best of my Europe photos, from my 2005 trip with Mark. Here’s a link to the full set, the captions have descriptions of what the hell it is that you’re looking at, along with some entertaining stories of stuff we did while over in Euroland. If, unlike me, ...

Saturday I went to the Golden Dragon parade celebrating Chinese New Year with some friends, and my pictures are up. I’m really happy with how these came out, since this is the first time I went shooting with my giant (70-300mm) lens and did manual focus the entire time. I will say, this is the ...

In honor of the movie that’s recently come out (which I have not yet seen, but Tim, of course, has), I wanted to remind people that I have, in fact, actually been to Bruges. I even have photographic evidence of this fact. I even have evidence that Mark was there with me, and that he ...

I was driving to meet a friend for brunch yesterday and saw a very unusual and rather breathtaking sight: The mountains behind Los Angeles, covered in snow, clear as a bell. Here’s an awesome picture of, basically, what I saw, (with a hat tip to LAist for pointing it out). Looks like that was taken ...

An aside huzzah: I now have a replacement replacement computer. Let’s see if this one works for more than a day. I was catching up with Fark links for the last day when I came across a fascinating story about a man with no legs who surreptitiously took pictures of everyone who stared at him ...
