It was early in the morning on Christmas Day. The stockings were stashed by the chimney as close to the fireplace as I dared…

I took some pics of Abby Dawg and her Aunt Daphne (no blood relation) encountering their Christmas stockings. Very different personalities those two have. I watched Daphne discover […]

Well, it finally happened. I lost my virginity. This is my first post about my first con where I saw Lucy and Renee for the first time in Chicago this weekend (also my first trip to the windy city) and my first Lucy concert too. And I gotta tell you all that I have […]

I know this shot looks as if it were taken at the stroke of midnight, but that’s an illusion. I had to use a small aperture because the Moon is such a bright object. And I had to use a fast shutter speed because I didn’t have a tripod with me. I took […]

Happy Halloween, everybody! I was surfing around madly this morning, looking for Halloween graphics at the last minute (I have tons somewhere on my 100GB external drive and my internal 80GB drive, but darned if I can find ‘em) when what should appear but 3PlaneSoft and some of the coolest, maybe the coolest […]
