The surreal deal.
Linus and Judah have been the best of friends lately. Judah gets attention, and Linus gets to slap and scream at another creature. What can I say; the kid takes after his old man. Of course, there are more in the Linus set. Bonus points if you can find the macaroni!!
Perhaps in the haze of all the pano photography you figured I’d neglected to take any photos of Linus. That couldn’t be further from the truth. This kid is still getting plenty time in front of the lens; I just haven’t had much time to actually do anything with the photos. I just added a few semi-recent shots of the little (big) guy to my Flickr photostream as well as the neglected Misc. Linus set.
In related news: I recently switched all of Linus’ photos at Flickr over to private status. The reasons are myriad, and I could get into a whole discussion of perceived privacy in the information age, but suffice to say that if I don’t know you, you probably don’t need to have hi-resolution images of my child. So, if you’re already one of my contacts in Flickr, you’ll see the images just fine. If not, just add me as a contact, and I’ll do the same for you.
If you don’t want to be bothered with contacts and pictures of painfully cute babies, well, chances are I never really liked you anyway.
These are a few of my newest panos. I haven’t had a chance to shoot anything this week, but I’ve had plenty of images lying around waiting to be stitched. Be sure to follow the links to Flickr to see the interactive versions. You can also hit the Recent Panos link in the sidebar, or I bet you could even click here.

This one was taken on the corner of Main and Third in Phoenixville. I suggest you interact with it. I’m going to interact with a comic and then I plan on interacting with my pillow.
First up, the Manistee Riverwalk. That’s the last of my panos from Manistee. Unfortunately our last trip was so short, I had little time for snapping pictures while we were there. You can see the interactive version over here.
Then there’s the Challenge of Champions. Wow. What to say about this one. I had sore legs for a week, and not for the reasons which may be alluded to by the photo. This was a paid gig; It was a day’s worth of taking pictures of men, women and children beating on each other. At the end of the day I managed to take a few pictures of my own for the pano. Interact up in here.
Other items of note:
Another fine show prompted by Rubens. I only found out about this a couple hours before it started, and it was pleasant surprise to say the least. Lullatone hails from Nagoya Japan, so it’s probably safe to say they may not be back around here for a while. The show was very intimate, interactive, and joyful. If you’re not familiar with their music, check out their website. There are also a few tracks to be heard on their Virb page.
You can see the rest of my photos in the Flickr set.
A stereographic projection of the Manistee lighthouse scene:
Back in May I purchased a new fisheye lens and a new pano head so that I could shoot higher quality panos than those I got with my last camera. Nearly four months have passed, and I’ve finally gotten a chance to start working on some of these new images. This is my first decent image with the new camera/lens/rig/software, so it took a while to get it all working smoothly. You can see the full-res image on Flickr, and an interactive version here.
This was shot in Manistee, Michigan on the shore of Lake Michigan (right about here). It’s a bit melancholy for me, as it was taken on what surely will have been our last visit there. We spent a few holidays there during the Winter, but not nearly enough time in the warmer months. My mom and sisters live in Delaware now, so there’s very little drawing me back to this tiny coastal town, and I’ll actually miss it.
In other news: I’m incredibly tired, and yet this is the only time of night/day that I can get these sorts of things done, so I blog at 1:30 in the am. I’m going to go check to see if there are any bats in my basement then I’m off to bed. Cheers.
