I haven’t entirely been avoiding photography lately, but since what I’ve been seeing is more of the same from the past several weeks, I haven’t been running to get my camera too often either. This is just to show that I’m still kicking, and still maintaining some content, even if it’s just variations of the same damn things. Plus this brings me up

It is an ex-October
Whoa, damn near missed this one! As it is, it’s posting, like, 21 hours later than normal for the end-of-month abstract – I simply got involved in other things and plumb forgot about it. Not that I had a lot of choices from this month anyway, nor did I go out yesterday in search of any like I’d been considering, and the few frames I shot today don’t really
Profiles of Nature 43
Profiles. Why did it have to be Profiles?
This week we have Oddveig, here just as she discovered, after landing the part of the alien villain and spending the last two months bulking up to resemble the obese sluglike concept art, that they were going to do it all with CGI. She hasn’t said a word now or even blinked for the past day, so luckily we completed our interviews with her a few days
Away it goes
As always, I am here to keep you abreast of all the important holidays that people tend to forget, and so, tomorrow (that’s October 28th for all of you on smutphones) is Discard An Old Photo That You’re Never Gonna Use From The Blog Folder Day. Yep, it’s time to go through the gallery of stuff set aside for potential posts and pick an image that’s never going
This guy
In sorting photos the other day, I’m fairly certain I found the little shit that’s been infecting so many people around the country, the lazy sod that became a super-spreader through a lack of personal hygiene. Take a look at this guy:
You tell me: has this guy ever washed his damn hands?
Seriously, this is the way that I found him, clinging to the storm door of the back porch –
Make ’em work
On an outing the other day, I took a bunch of photos, but very few are going to be keepers (the final sort is still pending.) Nothing that I got really bowled me over, but there were a couple that, with a little enhancement, will serve anyway.
I’m not a fan of digital editing, because I find the skill is more in capturing what you were after in-camera – this is possibly a trait of shooting
Here’s why, part 4: Alternative Medicine
In this ongoing series answering the question of why ‘mainstream science’ doesn’t take certain topics ‘seriously,’ we get to Alternative Medicine, or alt-med as it is often abbreviated. This term actually doesn’t have a firm definition, except for specifically being not something that a qualified physician would recommend (or alternately, would often
Profiles of Nature 42
You’re a good sport, you know that? Still here reading these Profiles after all this time, with your hopes of improvement dashed and your trust at rock bottom. You deserve better. We’re not gonna let that obligate us, mind you, or even make us feel a little guilty – we’ve done our part in simply recognizing it. But go ahead and be optimistic all the same.

Too cool, part 49: Genetics and Human Evolution
Professor Ceiling Cat Emeritus (sometimes known as Dr. Jerry Coyne) over at Why Evolution Is True brought this one up, and normally I’d just send you over there for this, but it relates directly to a few posts that I’ve done in the past, so I went ahead an embedded it here.
29 minutes of playtime
Going out for something last night, I noticed the moon was sharp and in a good position up over Walkabout Studios to take advantage of, and decided to fire off a few frames. I did not, despite the previous post, bother to try for some meteor photos – that would have come much later in the night hours (technically the wee hours of the morning) as the moon dropped lower, and I had no intentions
