Picture post with 'new' camera

When Thomas the Metropolitan took my new resumé pictures (a special German thing, as you have to include a picture of yourself when you send your CV to potential employers), I showed him the picture of the Light Boat Festival and deplored that my camera and my little multipurpose computer (AKA smartphone) both can't capture nearly as much light as the human eye.

So he decided to lend me one of his older Pentaxes. Apparently, he has several. He added a simple multipurpose lens of the kind that come with the camera, and brought it over last Saturday.

( Here are some of my first efforts. )

A place to collect pretty pictures from elsewhere

It seems I needed another Web 2.0 site to have an account on. Unlike Facebook or Twitter, Pinterest seems actually useful for me.

Anybody here who's got a Pinterest account as well so I can follow them? I'm yakalskovich there as well.


And special thanks again to a_is_for_amy for the invite!

Error: Cat Between User And Keyboard

This is what happens when I suddenly stop answering pings on IM -- there is a large red cat sitting on me!

Captured just now by the Nazgul with the Pentax that is neither new nor mine, but still brilliant -- this was taken without a flash!
