Pixel Darkroom Photography

These flowers are incredibly small. I used a 50 mm with +7 diopter filters to get to them. The flash is only 20 mm away from the white petals. Just another day, doing a late project. 105 days left. It’s hard to believe I made it so far. Thanks for looking.

Beautiful red tulips in the sunset light for day 180, another round number. 185 days to go. I cannot believe it is almost half a year since I started doing this. No strobes today, just these beautiful flowers. Enjoy.

Today I drove all the way to Christmas Way, and no, there was no Santa Claus there, no snow, and not many people. I did have to stand in the middle of the street in order to take some of the shots, but since today is Christmas Day, there were hardly any cars on the road. I drove around a little bit afterwards. It’s amazing how deserted everything is, and if you think that less than 24 hours before taking this shot the whole city was crazy and packed with shoppers and cars, it makes you realize how commercialized this celebration has become. Why were there so many people around yesterday and why is there nobody around today? I think we all know the answer. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

I saw this guy bike ahead of me while I was driving and immediately was thankful for power windows. I grabbed my camera, rolled down the window and shot this guy dead. He was a fun guy. I pulled over and as he came close, stopped by my car and asked me where I was headed. He offered to ride by so I could get an action shot but since I only had a 50mm prime I figured it wasn’t going to work to well. Plus I was going to turn left at the next stop light and the traffic wasn’t quite like in Boise, Idaho either. Fun little encounter. There goes my idea about having a little number in each photograph (for the first few at least; notice the lone tree, leaf, then the two hand framing David Crowder and then, this guy. I guess if I told you he was doing 3x the speed limit you wouldn’t believe me, but i’m pretty sure he was. At least he maybe wished he had. Or maybe not. I dunno. I’m just sayin’… There goes day 3.
