Why?
Fish!
First up: new music. Sorta. Trey came down last night and we had a very nice time. He introduced me to a musical act that I had not heard of, undoubtedly because I am late to the party. Folks, hie thee hence over to the electric Internets, locate and clamp [...]

Today is non-sequitur day!
Portraits, using film.
Not many folks using film these days. Siddy found me a mint-looking Nikon N75 35mm SLR at a Goodwill, complete with 28-80 AF lens, for $20. Sheesh. I’ll have the first roll back soon, make sure it works, but it appears to be in perfect condition.
The first shot here was taken with [...]
Souls of the Darned!
OK, so I’m on a posting-me-some-flowers kick. So what.
Fomapan 100, Burke & James Press 4×5, un-named 75mm f1.9 oscilloscope lens that can’t be used, yada yada, 1/2 second exposure @ WFO - 1 stop or so. Um, I was told there would BE no math?
Your mother darns socks that smell.
Speaking of flowers
Here are some more flowers that I found in my yard. I took this one outdoors, handheld. Either a Nikon Series E 70-210 Macro on an extension tube or a Nikkor 50mm f1.8 on the same extension tube. Somehow, I’m thinking it was the 50.
Do please click on the above, there’s lots [...]
The World’s Largest Flowers
That’s what we in the business refer to as “minor exaggeration.” These flowers are actually very small, something on the order of 6-10 mm top-to-bottom. On my screen, they are something like double-sized in the preview below, although you should be able to click and get a larger version. The photo was [...]
In this year’s sore loser Olympics…
The winner by a landslide is Kanyé West. Here he is on his triumphant world tour, sharing the magic of his butt-hurt whineyness with the University of Texas and their fans.
“Yo Mark Ingram, I’m happy for you and Ima let you finish… but Texas is the best team of all time. Of all TIME!”
Yeah, OK, it’s been a while and I’m lazy.
Look, since that last post, my life has been … rococo. Rococo, as in filled with intricate detail. Lately, a lot of sad.
Bad stuff: our twins. A week before Thanksgiving, all is on schedule for a late Nov, early Dec. delivery. Both babies are healthy, appropriately sized on ultrasound, and Siddhary is doing well. Four [...]
Odd juxtapositions de rigeur in the South
Random droppings and Irreverent, forsooth!
TeamSpeedKills, an SEC sports blog on SBNation, posted a roundup of yesterday’s news that included both mention of the passing of the University of Georgia’s bulldawg mascot, UGA VII, and (further down the same page) mention of some foolish-sounding title of a Klansman. I didn’t follow the link to see what [...]
Tiny little flowers
I took a bunch of photos of itsy-bitsy flowers in our front yard. Of course, we all know what comes with flowers, don’t we? Bugs! There were butterflies, moths, honeybees, and ants. There was also a lot of dust on my sensor, I know - and I’m too lazy to have cleaned it up yet. [...]

I went traipsing around Midtown Mobile last weekend. Eventually I got swept up into a crowd and we rallied at a footsball game.
This is where we lived. It’s where this site got its name.
I also went to the very first football game played by the University of South Alabama Jaguars. They won. I may talk [...]
