This is my new favorite photo of the Terminal, taken from outside of Arty’s during the Alive Night party on Friday. It’s a nice, full shot where you can see the tower, the concourse arch, and even the baggage building, yet it’s far enough away that you don’t see all the gritty details. I’m thinking about having these printed and adding them to our merchandise lineup.
Good column over at Bloomberg.com from Peter J. Wallison, Arthur F. Burns Fellow in Financial Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute. — The subprime and other junk mortgages that Fannie and Freddie bought — and the market in these mortgages that their buying spawned — are the underlying cause of the financial crisis. These…
I’m just too busy to find the time to write up a description about our trip, so I’ll post a few photo albums and show you some of the new camera work. Enjoy! This album is powered by BubbleShare – Add to my blog
Autoblog posted pictures of the Volkswagen Tiguan Concept – the evolution of the Concept A that I wrote about before. Unfortunately, I think VW lost the cool aspects of the Concept A. The “car on steroids” look is what attracted me to it. I’m really not a fan of SUVs in general. I appreciate the…
…but a Mary Kunz Goldman, ne’er holding a beer! Yes, MKG showed up to interview the members of Broadway Fillmore Alive and the people who showed up for Alive Night 1.5. She seemed genuinely interested in the project and spent an extensive amount of time (at least two and half hours, until the point that…
With California Attorney General Bill Lockyer being the first to launch an investigation into oil company “profiteering”, I’m sure the antithesis of big business, Eliot Spitzer, is chomping at the bit to get in on the action and play to the hearts of the liberal voters. I hope he does. I hope he breaks down…
Excellent photo, Derek! Go for it on the merchandise…
Very nice photo, great composition!
Thanks! One of these days I’m going to get a “real” camera. I’m stretching what I can do with my point & shoot 4 megapixel. Of course, some lessons or pointers wouldn’t hurt either. 🙂
You can actually do quite a bit with 4 megapixels. I was using a 3.1 point & shoot for a while before purchasing my “real” camera. I managed to get some good 8×10 prints from the 3.1, although you really couldn’t go larger without noticeable pixelation. Good composition is more important, in most cases, than an expensive camera. A good rule to follow is the “rule of thirds.”
I agree, Mike. I’ve been able to do quite a bit with my camera so far. But there are some shots that I know I’d like to get that the camera just can’t do – crisp foreground/blurred background shots that you need a longer lens for.
The best thing about digital is you can shoot and shoot and shoot and once in awhile you get a nice shot.
It helps to have a good subject to be shooting as well, dear. 😉
