Profiles of Nature 24


This week we have นฤมล, trying to deal with Christian Bale’s tantrums on the set of the Peewee’s Playhouse reboot. All her life, นฤมล had the dream of making it big in show business, which despite what you think is not a reference read more

Has it been a week already? Boy, time flies when you’re dreading something, doesn’t it? So today we meet Adelgiso, demonstrating that full-bodied mousse and cleaning out the shed do not go together. Adelgiso is a dancer, to no one’s surprise, specializing in performing interpretive dances to repair manuals and Ikea instructions most people agree read more

This week we meet Ermintrude, who specializes in playing unsettling parts because, man, even those nostrils stare into your soul. Ermintrude didn’t actually ‘get a start,’ as such – she simply walked (slowly) onto a set and said, “Put me on the payroll,” and they did, afraid of what might happen if they didn’t. She’s actually read more

As always, I’m on it

May 29th is Blurred Bird Day, which requires that you say it fast and never clarify it to anyone, because that’s half the fun. It should come as no surprise that, even as obscure as this holiday is, I’m fully prepared.


Kindly note that blurring the bird by failing to focus tightly does not count – it must be motion blur, preferably the bird’s.

Yes, it really has been an entire week, and so we return to our Profiles, featuring Chollum Bargarnthupi. Chollum was kidnapped and sold on the market of color as a slave model, forced to pout, look haughty, or even exuberantly ecstatic about kitchen storage (seen here) for much less than minimum going rates, required to even buy his own upper lip bleach. He escaped with read more

Podcast: Need a do-over

Did you ever wonder about the site title, “Wading-In Photography,” and the emphasis on sandals and water and all that?

It’s because I like things shallow.

On an unrelated note, here’s a podcast:

Yeah, it could definitely have been read more

Magnanimous

Some experts tend to keep mum about their experience, their ‘secrets of the trade,’ and not reveal any information that may give an edge to their ‘competition,’ as if there’s something to be won with that. And some, of course, are fine with imparting information, but at a fee, and charge for everything I teach photography, so yes, I do follow this read more

This week we have our singing, dancing, and seriously cheesy humor trio, Dawny, Orlando, and Tone, warming up for their debut variety show, inexplicably named Shields and Yarnell. Raised in a musical family, they opted to inflict this on the rest of the world rather than assert their independence like any normal person, resulting in several musical contracts from agents read more

The appeal is still pending, so we’re still going! This week we meet Eulalia, here in her scene from Baywatch performing mouth-to-mouth on her co-star, sure to keep the ratings high. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth and a set of hemostats in her duodenum, the malpractice settlement allowed Eulalia’s family to move away to Chicago, where she was eventually read more
