I had one of these as a kid. It was my “play” camera… foisted on me by my dad so I wouldn’t touch his SLR. For years I played with it, dropped it, slung it, peered through the eyepiece… and now Lomography is selling it as an antique piece. ARGH. If only I could find it now…
Update: Currently the winning bidder for a beautiful set on ebay. Let’s wait and see…

Canon yesterday launched the Digital Rebel XSi, a 12.2 MP successor to the XTi. Argh. The kit lens is 18-55mm IS.
Now at work. Update later.

Day 17 - Chair in the Corner (With Socket) (2008)
It can get really, really boring during meetings.
The chair in the corner, like many attendees of this conference (me etc),is supposed to be part of a whole, yet is contemplating the goddamn wall.

…but not for the reason you probably have in mind. I can’t complete it because at the exosuit battle (the second last one!!), my framerate drops to a disgusting 1 - 2 fps. At that point, an immersive 3D game becomes an interactive slideshow, and no matter how practiced I am, no matter how much ammo I have, I can’t hit shit, and hence, can’t finish the game.
I have even tried, in desperation, to set every single setting to Low and to run the thing in 800 x 600 - but to no avail. The game freezes up just as much as when I run it at 1024 x 768 with everything on Very High. At least then, it’s a prettier slideshow.
Fuck. Waiting to see if the kind folks on the forums have any tips for me; else I’ll have to wait till the patch arrives sometime mid January to see if the problem goes away.

OMG feet
Not on purpose, though. It just turned out this way.
Macritchie’s a boring place to have a photowalk. Perhaps I was just there at the wrong time but everything was harshly lit and hazy and humid and dull. Urgh… never again, unless someone can convince me otherwise.

bzzzzzz
a wasp goes about its business in the late afternoon.
dangling vine, macro lens, handheld, single spot AF, in the wind. I consider this a triumph of my patience over common sense.
crop, slight levels correction, drop shadow and watermark in photoshop.
