I took these photos of a couple of my R/C cars earlier today for a project I’m working on. I thought they turned out so cool that I just had to share them. The first two are my mid-90’s era Kyosho Pureten GP Nostalgia series chassis topped with an HPI Pontiac Firebird Trans Am body in racing [...]
Scott Bourne must love getting hate mail.
I’ve conducted some polls on a variety of social media sites and here on Photofocus.com.
I’ve taken into account all the answers and based this post on those results, plus my own experience and observation.
So without further ado, here are my picks for Cameras of the Year – 2009.
…that most “security” guards were just people that were too stupid to pass the police academy and probably would have failed a psychological exam anyway.
555 California security guards in San Fran threaten to punch sidewalk photographer, break his f*cking camera – Boing Boing

I went and checked it out on Saturday, it was pretty neat. I took my camera and came back with almost 400 pictures. I had my tilt-shift lens along with some of my other non-specialty lenses. This was the first time I really experimented with the TS and I’ve got a bit to learn about [...]
Scott Bourne over at TWIP posted on brand loyalty and the reasons behind it. I would slightly disagree on terminology with him, what he’s talking about is beyond brand loyalty. It’s personal identification, meaning, people get so attached to a brand name or product that they think they’re as much a part of it as [...]
I’ve got nothing interesting to post about right now. I went out for a photo day with my dad at the Lake Pueblo State Wildlife Area, a designated area outside of the state park. It had snowed the night before and there was about an inch of snow on the ground. It was really a [...]
