    OK, making an effort to try and update this site as well. If you haven’t figured out http://www.MisterJAllDay.com goes to my tumblr page, which gives me a bit more flexibility on what types of things I can post. But now that WordPress has come up with this twitter-like theme for blogs, I think it might be easier to do texts posts on here.

    Hmm, let’s see how often I can keep this up.

    Follow Me Over Here.

    Get the Continuation of Project 365 there.  Also, a collection of random thoughts found from my twitter. What fun, right?  This site will still remain up as an archive, but all the active updating will happen on the Tumblr site.

    Thanks for everything WordPress, time for me to get experimental.

    -1 for awkward screw placement.

    Taken at Yakiniku Camellia. The sheer irony alone made me want to take the shot.

    Note to business owners, have little things like this to throw off the customer. I thoroughly enjoi it.

    That’s something you don’t see everyday.

    I wonder what the Easter Bunny got to eat? A pretzeldog sounds pretty win right about now. That or a pizza. I need to stop posting about food so much.

    Sometimes, you just need a workable disguise.  Doesn’t have to be all that great, just… workable.

    This is the best I came up with.

    Have a great Friday. You’re destined to be great, live like you will be.

  • Project 365: Solve the Puzzle

    Slowly learning how to use this lens.  Props to Kandy for the quick session on how to balance ISO/Exposure Compensation/Aperture/Shutter.  Super helpful.

    So, hopefully, shots like this are done on purpose & not accidentally.  This one was taken a few days ago, after seeing one of the homies throwdown a mixed up Rubik’s Cube in 90 seconds.  Wish I had a camera that recorded video, because that was pretty epic seeing someone twist & solve the cub in person.

    So, I’m guessing the key to solving how to balance all those picture elements is kinda like solving a Rubik’s Cube.  Once you got it, it gets easier.

    Currently, I’m learning to love shooting in full manual.  It’s pretty awesome knowing how to use all the control I’m given.

    Sometimes, the best shots are accidental.

    Take this one for example.  I wa sjust messing around with Kandy’s 50mm prime lens on my D40.  And I do have to say, as the day went along, the more comfortable I got with the prime lens.

    I spent the 45 minutes prior to theis shot taking flicks of Shannel and Chez (some of which miight show up alter this week).

    Then, as Cherl finished work, I had to take a shot of her.  Just so happened that I thought I pulled the shutter too early, as I was trying to focus.  I thought I didnt’ get everything in focus, but it just so happened Cheryl’s head was in focus, and an amazing bokeh effect on the rest of the shot.  The blur of Cheryl’s car & the focus on Cheryl was really a pretty good mistake.

    If only I could be so lucky sometimes.

    Earth Hour. A moment in time when earth-conscious people switch off the lights for the good of the planet.

    I flicked the lights off… and then watched a DVD on the MacBook running off the battery.  Felt kinda cool, but weird.  Kinda like it was a replay of the blackout, but with the option of turning the lights back on whenever you feel like it.

    Oh well, all for the good of the planet, right?
