PotD – Rain
December 29th, 2009 ryan
So it’s raining here. That means mud. And puddles. On our pier.
Behold, hot air umbilicus flavored with what now? Mmm mmm, diesel fumes. You can kind of see the steam rising off this fetid breath tube as the rain hits it.

My love affair with this figure is long, sordid, and rife with drama. Details to follow.
PotD – 091106 – Steamcon
December 28th, 2009 ryan
Another from the November archives.
Chance found my brief attendance at Steamcon 2009, an event marked by some of the best cosplay I’ve ever seen and a surprisingly free lunch. Wasn’t there long but this shot, while far from being particularly impressive, marked a small moment in time observed from the back of a venue. Picture of the day, indeed.
Art of the Table – Nov 09
December 28th, 2009 ryan
Hi, pig.
So a month ago I was privileged enough to attend Art of the Table in celebration of one Mr. Chris Furniss’s yearly birth remembrance. The place is a veritable celebration of gastronomy and having heard the evangelical hymnals sung by both Chris and Jinny I was more than enthused when the first plate hit the table.
Were this a proper blog post I’d include a scan of the menu and exclaim how each course was not only perfectly prepared but also increasingly complimentary to the meal as a whole. As this is not proper I will include but two of the shots that survived the fiery maw of mine own screening process. The frustrations presented by my now aged D200’s CMOS in low light conditions continue to vex.
Go, go and be merry.

Tom is posing, Becky is not.
Dinosaur.
Halloween.
Tom gave me lessons in gouache. by way of a tiny lovebot.
Tiny, surly, feline rider.
Seattle Aquarium

Few shots from a recent visit to the Seattle Aquarium are up as I am finally working through a backlog of shots I haven’t made the time to share. Still using my point and shoot as primary and only recently read up on the reason why I’ve been so impressed with it’s performance.
This fine fellow (larger here) is a North Pacific Giant octopus and is the famed escape artist that would foray in to the tide pool displays to snack. Took a lot more shots but they were infected with noise from the needed high ISO settings. All part of the learning process. Molly, however, managed to capture the coolness of the jellies.

I’m back here now. This time there’s standing water.
Same vehicles, though.
