“Rusted” — This one is from the “archives” originally taken back in December. It’s currently the desktop background on my laptop and is the cross-sectional shot of this. Not only do I like the rusted subject in the foreground but the nice bokeh in the background as well.

“A Dream Sequence” @dailyshoot assignment #ds116 was to break a typical photography rule. I shot completely out of focus for this. I like the colors.

I know I have the name, but I despise being stereotyped as someone who researches and teaches about Korean politics….

I would like the writers of Sesame Street to start writing a sitcom for adults.

“Negative Vase” — I thought about putting a flower in the vase created by the negative space between two mugs but didn’t have one handy. @dailyshoot #ds102 for negative space.

I’ve been watching a lot of Sesame Street lately online with Xander. In addition to the usual pedagogical/educational content, I’ve been enjoying the angles directed at parents. This is Patrick Stewart saying “Make it so, Number One!” clearly alluding to his role as Captain Pickard. Then there is Sarah Jessica Parker, “Waiting for Big.” Various singers’—Feist, Jason Mraz, Norah Jones—modified versions of their popular songs are quite creative too. I’m glad that the good people at Sesame Street take the time to make the show enjoyable for parents, who inevitable sit through it with their kids.

“Blue Snow” — Of course snow is never quite white. I could have played with the white balance a bit but didn’t. #ds100 for monochrome @dailyshoot

“Moose” — This is a lawn ornament outside a house on Pearl. No post-processing other than straightening and cropping. #ds98 tricky backgrounds for @dailyshoot

“International Platonic Love” Quacky the Duck from somewhere in the U.S.; Harry the Bear from a Harrods in U.K., Moose the Moose from Sweden. They love one another. Assignment #ds91 of @dailyshoot on Valentine’s Day was to do some interpretive photo of what love is.
