To Be Titled

Striving to be a good dad, a good husband, a good son/brother, a good political scientist, a good photographer, a good cook and a good homo universalis.
9th Street & Pearl Street intersection in Boulder. This is from Photojojo’s tip from today, which points to do stereographic street view of Google Maps. Of course, this is a cheating way of creating these “tiny planets.” I’ve not done it myself but Photojo has the full instructions here.

** Tribute in Light ** by Duncan Davidson, who is a photographer (among many other things) that I respect and follow. The production notes for the video are here, and an interview he did about the shoot is here.

Waldo in Boulder! First discovered by Blempgorf. Here is the original post; the second follow-up, including my original spotting with the iPhone camera; and the last one summarizing all the spottings.

He/they have been covered twice by the Daily Camera—1 and 2—and the Denver Post in addition to the Westword coverage that Blempgorf mentions.

Pizzeria Locale (Taken with Instagram at Pizzeria Locale) One of the latest new pizza places in Boulder, and the best one we have come across so far! They strive on being authentic. This was the last bit left of my Pizza Campagnola, which had black and green olives, capers, anchovies and garlic. The crust was not too bready or crispy—it was chewy yet not heavy. I highly, highly recommend it. Pizzeria Locale

“Valentine Bandit” — The Valentine Bandit apparently attacks storefronts around Boulder every Valentine’s Day. I didn’t know about him/her/them until this tweet. I took the photos on my way home today. I saw far more storefronts with the heart but didn’t have a chance to photograph every single one. Applied Diptic twice to create the collage.

A Baby Bottle in the Snow (Taken with Instagram at Hiram Fullen Park). Not mine. Someone dropped it, and someone else likely put it upright in the snow.

I regularly make pancakes or waffles on weekends now. I like all of Bob’s Red Mill stuff, but I usually get the 10 Grain Pancake & Waffle Mix. The whole grain flavors really come through, which is great. The secret to nice fluffy pancakes: Separate the eggs. Mix the yolks with everything else, but beat the egg whites until they peak. Fold in the beaten egg whites into the rest of the mixture well and then cook the pancakes immediately. This method was actually suggested on the back of the pancake mix packaging for “delightfully light” waffles. The mixture, however, ended up sticking heavily to the waffle iron. But the recipe works well for pancakes. (Photo via my Flickr)

“Cooking Frog” — This morning, my 2.5-year-old said he wanted to cook the frog. He’ll grow up to be a gourmet cook. Shot for @dailyshoot #ds417 for high-contrast. (Photo via my Flickr)
