Fun with an Anish Kapoor mirror.

Ohhhhhh yeah, baby.

Popping colors

I suppose it's fair to say I'm lovin' the new camera.  I'm just learning, so I trust the images will improve in time.

little angel

I know the image is nearly identical to the one I posted a week or so ago. I returned to this little plastic figurine for several consecutive days.  Without my new camera I had never really noticed her (though I had put here where she now hangs on a metal bird in our garden along with a bunch of necklaces and other chachkes).  But with camera in hand she seemed to be calling my name.  Given my attraction to spooky/creepy/eerie, I suppose she might posses this quality without me intending it but my intention here (believe it or not) is to capture her sweetness.  

(No, not her sweet creepiness, you cynical weirdos.)

Anish Kapoor is my hero

summer drinks

These were taken with Julianne's stinky camera.  Not her current stinky camera (my old stinky camera), but her own (even stinkier) old camera.   I like the composition and content.  Bofes.

J-bot

A four-handed j-bot staring me down.  I've seen this posture--arms all akimbo--more than a few times.

Stemware Rack

Stemware.  Just one of the many things I've learned of (and about) from Justcurious.  I could blog about it but it would be entirely too long for a blog entry.  Better for a blog series.  Or its own blog.   "Justcurious Teaches MB."  

pics from the new camera

Mojo hit me out of the blue yesterday.  I was reading a book, when suddenly I was forced to run outside with my new camera and start taking photos in the yard.  The sun had set, so there are no dramatic shadows.   I'm happy my camera does seem to work.

Crazy aunt "going off the rails on a crazy train"!

A loving tongue-in-cheek homage to Beth, my sweet big sister and wonderful and cool (if also kinda crazy) aunt to my three daughters!

New and improved "swing."

Chicken's gone....

....got to carry on.

This fine song brought to you by the Austin Lounge Lizards.  They are referencing another song of theirs, the genuinely brilliant "Rocky Byways."
