Landscape, etc.
Landscape isn't my thing but from time to time I'll make me a lil' panoramic collage. I took about 10 photos and blended them together to make this shot of late afternoon sun over the Andes. Nothing remarkable really, I was standing on a little hill and spun around taking pictures. A few minutes of photoshop later and there you have it. This isn't the full 360 degrees but it's the more interesting part of it.
I got a chance to listen to my debut podcast and the first thing that stuck me was how funny I sound over the phone. After I got over that, I had a smile on my face as I agreed with most of what I said. Go figure. The end is the funniest. After they do their little credit thing and wrap-up you can hear me descending into the party that had been going on while I was being interviewed. Evan Iskovitz gets a huge shout out and then you hear the din of the party take over. Good stuff there. Remind me to get some more press down the line.
As for my camera falling apart...my D2X is losing it's grippy stuff. The way I hold my camera and the amount I hold it have conspired to completely remove the padding on the compact flash card door. Now just yellowish residue of some insufficient glue is all that remains. I guess the thing isn't built for the twelve-hour sweaty photo-marathons that are Latin American weddings. So be it. I didn't lose the piece so now the search is on for some decent glue. Come on Nikon, this is your professional camera. Which reminds me. That D200 is mighty cool. I'm tempted, let me tell you.
Take pictures.

Why are landscapes not your thing? Is there anything you can not do well?
There is plenty I don't do well. And I'm not even talking about just photography. If we include keeping my apartment clean etc, I actually suck at stuff.
I don't do landscapes well becasue I don't yet have the patience required for that genre. I may get lucky once in a while but to really excel at lanscapes requires a lot more attentiveness and time than I give it.
Thanks for the compliment regardless.
Well, if it makes you feel any better, I haven't met too many men with immaculate apartments except those guys on Queer Eye, and I don't really know them I just watch them on t.v. Besides, staying home once in a while is required for taking care of those things ;)
I don't know what purpose my compliments serve, coming from this untrained eye and all, but I always enjoy what I see regardless.
So, you're welcome.
Clay,
That panorama looks fantastic!

the podcast was wonderful. thanks. I browse your gallery once in a while but I did not realize you were a "burner" before!
I finally got to listen to that podcast... had been languishing on my ipod. Entertaining stuff! Is that 10x60W lamp you built RECTANGULAR? (Like a studio 9-light, but with a hole?) Single switch or multiples? Been playing a lot with sheets of christmas lights (like the ones used in Eyes Wide Shut) and this simple fixture should cool. How do you mount it? (Picture?)
Thanks!
