  • Top 200 Photos: #28

    Time for today’s Top 200 Photos photo #28 is: It’s one of my early images from when I thought you had to Photoshop images if you wanted people to stand up and take notice. (I spoke about this earlier in the Top 200 Photos series) I still think it was a creative idea. However, with…

    We return to the stone pier in Oahu, Hawaii for this Top 200 Photo photo #29 is: As I mentioned before, I saw these two on a stone pier that jutted out into the Pacific. I mentioned that I was bored so I went for a walk to take some photos. Looking over the sets…

    And once again to Cornell for this Top 200 Photo photo #30 is: When I was playing with the macro mode of my Fuijifilm Finepix S7000, I started to get into flower photography. This flower was on the other side of a small wall on the walkway that leads to Ho Plaza, near Olin Hall.…

    Painting techniques in today’s Top 200 Photo photo #31 is: It was quite a challenge to paint my house when we first moved in. Of Danielle, her father, mother, and I, neither of us had painted before. Her mother had done some painting under the direction of her uncle, but not on her own. So…

    Once again to Cornell for this Top 200 Photo photo #32 is: This annoying orange fencing is what I spoke about when I said that when Slope Day became an official event, it became annoying to navigate around campus. As I mentioned in my Libe Slope panorama, nearly all the upperclassmen have to pass through…

  • Top 200 Photos: #33

    Take my hand in this Top 200 Photo photo #33 is: Much like the Nam photo that was #40, in this photo I am taking advantage of the effects wide angle lenses have on their subjects. Things closer to the lens look much larger (compared to a normal lens) than those further away. Like the…

  • Top 200 Photos: #34

    A powerful Top 200 Photo photo #34 is: I opened the battery compartment to my Fujifilm camera and dumped the batteries out. I was going to throw them in the charger when I realized I really liked the arrangement they’d fallen into. So I decided to practice with my camera’s macro mode and shoot the…

    Back to Hawaii for this Top 200 Photo photo #35 is: It was one of those trips to Hawaii without Danielle. I was really bored so I went out onto the beach since my hotel was right across the street from the beach. I found this long concrete pier that had a crowd of people…

    Computers in today’s Top 200 Photos photo #36 is: These were the computers I was using in 2005. The one on the left was running Linux. The Laptop was running Linux. The computer on the right was running Windows XP. I no longer have any of those computers, monitors, speakers, or mice. They all either…

  • Top 200 Photos: #37

    More stroboscopic photography for this Top 200 Photo photo #37 is: Galileo postulated that in a vacuum (in other words with no air drag) that any two items dropped should fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. I didn’t hold both of these scissors at exactly the same height, so to compare you…

  • Top 200 Photos: #38

    To the fair for this Top 200 Photo photo #38 is: I have forgotten whether I was inspired to go shoot at the Maryland State Fair at night by a magazine or if I came up with the idea on my own. I really enjoyed all the photos I took that night and it has…

  • Top 200 Photos: #39

    Dave’s back for this Top 200 Photo photo #39 is: There are three differences between this photo and the previous similar one: Dave is not stifling a laugh, Dave is wearing a shirt, and it’s in color. But it has a bunch more views. What does that mean? Do people not like topless Dave? Do…

  • Top 200 Photos: #40

    Nam is back for this Top 200 Photo photo #40 is: This photo, again, is from before Nam was afraid of my photography. I was in town for the Lunar New year and just doing some kid photography of him by getting to his height to take the photos. He was interested in my camera…

  • Top 200 Photos: #41

    Mai again in today’s Top 200 Photo! photo #41 is: I think this is now the third time Mai has appeared on this list. I speculated about her smile, but I’m not really sure what it is that flickr loves about my portraits of Mai. We’ve finished another twenty photos and are now, at the…

  • Top 200 Photos: #42

    Snow in today’s Top 200 Photo photo #42 is: This is a photo of our cars in the parking of the Apartment Complex we used to live at. It was probably right after the snow had finished falling. We used to think that was a lot of snow. Now (after the 2010 storms) we know…
