NMKY (Finnish YMCA cover)

August 22nd, 2007

Sometimes when we’re bored, we have to entertain ourselves. What better way to do that than to hop on the tube and watch old Finnish I think this did the trick. Give it just one watch. You’ll be back for more.

Moscow Campus Commons Long exposure

August 18th, 2007

Here are a few long exposures from last nights walk. I had gone up to Moscow to do some riding with a friend, Joey on Moscow Mountain. I’d never been up on the mountain, so it was definitely unknown to me. The ride turned out great and I found myself joking constantly about having to ride uphill to get to the downhill.

After the ride I finally got a chance to go on a mini-adventure with Laura. It seemed like there really weren’t that many people out last night. Of course it was 2AM, but usually people are out late anyhow. Anyways, here are some selectively picked photos. I sort of slapped the tripod down and fired these off. I wasn’t thrilled about firing off flashes because I didn’t want to hassle with security questioning what we were doing.

Speedlite Lighting & Wisdom Doctor

August 4th, 2007

Got back from the “wisdom doctor” yesterday. They were afraid that my teeth were overly smart so they decided to inject me with some sort of relaxant, and they stole my smart teeth. This must be legal in Clarkston, Wa.

Or how about the real story…

You could know the true short story. Yesterday morning I went to the doctor in Clarkston and they pulled my wisdom teeth out. I guess they do it in stages–they first split the tooth down the center and pull each piece out instead of all at once. Sounded pretty gruesome but I didn’t notice it thankfully.

The torture is horrible…puddings, Jell-O, chicken noodle soup, tapioca, ice cream etc. I’m starting to wonder if I’m in heaven. Moving on…I purchased another Canon 430EX flash to compliment my current Canon 580EX in the mail and decided to play while I was down. I took a few shots to practice lighting subjects Strobist style. I didn’t bring out my snoot though–that will come out today.
