Orchid blossoms from our impossible-to-kill gift given to us by wonderful friends. And all this time I thought orchids were hard to keep alive.
An Experiment
As you might be able to tell, this is an experiment in posting with a new format. I’m trying to decide if I like being able to view photographs simultaneously at the cost of their size. (Tumblr forces images posted in a “Text” entry to a maximum of 500px, versus the 700px I get if I post them as images.) I think I want photo sets to show all the photos right away, without having to click arrows; unfortunately the theme I’m using doesn’t allow this with a photo post, at least not in an attractive format. The other disadvantage to using a Text post is that I can’t click the image to view it large in the lightbox. 500px is 500px is 500px.
Is there anyone out there with an opinion on this? I really like my theme…I’m hoping to avoid having to shop for a new one. Note you’ll need to actually visit this page to comment via Disqus; obviously you can’t see what I’m talking about on your Tumblr dashboard.
Summer Vacation

It’s been so long, so long. I haven’t even had time to shave recently; that’s how busy it’s been. Maybe soon I’ll get some time, maybe soon. Until then, here’s to remembering the warmer days.

I ran out of film at the exact moment when she turned to port and gave me a gorgeous composition in my viewfinder. It was a tragic moment. I also made the split-second decision when I snapped this to break the rules of photography and make the horizon crooked for the sake of leveling the yacht. But I’m not sure they’re heeling enough to make it radical enough to work. If only the wind were a little stronger that day…
Kiln

This old, decrepit kiln was one of the several cool pieces of local history at the park where Em and I went exploring. I’d have shot this on Tri-X, but I still had most of a roll of Portra 160 to get through. I can’t lie, I do like me some color…
