Happy Accidents
Friday, June 4th, 2010Sometimes you just get lucky with a photo. I’ve had two rather happy accidents with a photo I took in 2008- one in 2009 and one in 2010. I took a photo of an hibiscus that inadvertently put out two different colors of flower- one pink, one orange. In 2008, I took this photo, posted [...]
More Abstraction
Monday, May 31st, 2010Abstract photography is a very open ended subject area- there is so much room for experimentation, and you can have a lot of fun doing it.

One article talked [...]

It was a silly keychain with a bundle of cheap fiber optics coming out one end. Orange, a huge cellular operator in Europe was giving them away. Fiber Optic Toy I have given [...]
More Fun with a Cell Phone
Sunday, June 29th, 2008I just got a new phone at work the other day. I work for Nokia, and I’m getting to try out an E66, an enterprise-class phone with a 3MP camera. So, maybe the camera isn’t as good as an Nseries prosumer-grade phone, which is more oriented towards having a life outside work, but for enterprise, [...]
