Here are some pictures of things that are not people or pets.

I am far from professional, but I like taking good shots when I can.

This is on I-4 just outside of Tampa heading toward Orlando.

This is one really cold ass little squirrel.

ZOOM.

Downtown Tampa from the airport. Playing with the zoom again.

North Carolina covered in snow.

ZOOM!

This is the Newport News/Norfolk, Virginia area. ECH is down there somewhere.

We were flying over NYC and I wasn't paying attention until I checked the radar, but I got this. In the left is Queens and Upper Manhattan. The larger body of water is Long Island Sound, then the Bronx dead center, then the Hudson River.

The Connecticut coastline.

Providence from the air. I was pissed that they popped on the cabin lights right as I went to get this one.

This is Boston. I swear it still took us 20 mins to get in after I took this because we had to swing so far out into the ocean to get a landing.

Some classic New England ground fog, for ya'll.

ZOOM! Creepy, huh? This is what happens when you get a foot of snow and then it get's well above freezing.

I like this one. I could make a postcard out of it.

More creepy fog.

A patch of blue sky.


I have other pics too, but I figured I'd spare you spags the usual pics of people and pets.

Nice. This actually inspires me to take pictures with my own camera from Santa. Because the ability to document is a fun and awesome one.

We laugh at this every single time we go to Tampa. It's always funnier on the way back.

The first time I saw it, I was like, "WTF is that NOW?!"

Crazy ass I-4. It's almost as awesome as Dinosaur World.

Lies

- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

I was desperate. Herbert took the old camera and I got left with my phone.

It's nothing special, but it's not cheap either. It's a Canon PowerShot A3100 IS. Compact, but it packs a punch. I'm still not sure about all the bells and whistles, but I do know that the zoom is killer, as you can see.

Sure, I can't do focus pulls like an SLR or G Series with it, but I don't NEED an SLR if I'm not a professional, and I can't see making the investment if I just like taking pictures here and there and using it to market my business.

Airstreamhenge! That's really cool... we have a crazy guy who did that with schoolbuses in Gervais.

Bizarrely, this seems to still be undocumented as far as the Web is concerned. I will definitely have to go take pictures.

If I saw that I would get extremely paranoid, start treading lightly, and watching out for Eris.

Nah, that's just Florida. Shit like that is pretty standard.

Yeah, just... Can't shake the feeling that, if I was a goddess of chaos, that's exactly what I would do as a friendly warning not to go any further.
