Bye

No, not the Elliott Smith song, but, it's tests + finals now (9 tests in 15 days?), so I'll be a bit... absent until December 18th. I'll try to make up for it by doing some kind of photo project during break, although what kind I cannot say.

(This is one of my very first forays into photography, a good five years ago, and is in keeping with my blurry-mind-before-exams theme.)

Ghosts

Floatin'.

Nola

Has nothing to do with Thanksgiving, but oh well.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Night on the Town

Houston, to be precise.

Moon Clouds

Downtown Houston.

(Disputed) King of the Pond

The original king of the pond from two posts down is still visible.

Horse

This statue is made out of bronze... I have no idea how it looks like that. Touching was not allowed.

Outside of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

King of the Pond

Hermann Park once more.

Startled, again

More Hermann Park.

Chopper

CareFlight helicopter taking off from the roof of Hermann Hospital, seen from Hermann Park. The park is so very close to the med center, I'm amazed I hadn't been there before November.

Plane

Inspired more or less by the photo below from the 1970s of Philip Petit walking a tightrope connecting the Twin Towers (which in itself I first heard about in Colum McCann's excellent novel Let the Great World Spin.)

(This photo found here.)

TMC Redux

When I did my TMC photo tour about a month ago I started out by the fountain wall, so it was still light. Here it is at night, in all its glory.

Dog

Unplanned juxtaposition indeed.

Night

This is from way back when I didn't have a tripod to steady my long exposure shots; I post this because the clouds last night (when I didn't have my camera, of course) reminded me of it.

Sky-In-A-Box

An ally in downtown Ann Arbor that I believe has a name, but I can say no more.

Memories

I've posted photos from the Arb in Ann Arbor before, and here's another.

(Not) Film

I'm going to invest in a film camera one of these days, but for now I'm left with using Photoshop to make a Diana Mini-like effect.

Edit: this is the entrance to my apartment!

Corner

Houston downtown, on the way to a concert by The National. Too bad they didn't allow my camera in for the actual thing.

Goat

He has invaded the car, and he is staring me down...

Buttons

AustinCat!
