Since the new year is coming up, I’m sure many of you are itching to take pictures of fireworks. If you’ve read Jayvee’s post on the World Pyro Olympics, you might be excited to shoot there too. Mind you, getting a good shot isn’t easy, but it isn’t impossible either.

For a drive by shooter, the tools of the trade are projectile weapons and fast-moving vehicles. More often than not, these are firearms and cars.
Being a drive by shooter myself, I also use a high-speed vehicle - my car. When it comes to what I carry, however, my choice of tools differs from theirs. I use a camera instead of guns. Of course, If I had some money to burn, I could use both - and really live up to my monicker.

What do the two goblets on the left have to do with Christmas?
Honestly, I’m not really sure. It could be that this is a holiday - it’s time to celebrate and raise our glasses for a toast. The problem is, these goblets are empty - this won’t exactly make for a happy toast, will it?
On that note, I could say that the empty glasses signify how it’s time to start anew. Then again, that description fits the new year more than it does Christmas.
Maybe the point isn’t that the glasses are empty. Of course, if I say that, I’m not sure what my starting point is anymore.
Of course, the simplest explanation I can offer is that I used this picture because I wanted to use it. I don’t need any other explanation than that, do I?
Merry Christmas!

Not all geeks are nerds. Not all nerds are geeks. Many use the two terms interchangeably, but they do so because they don’t know any better. I’ve always insisted that the two words are not synonymous. Why? I’m proud to be one, but I would hate to be called the other.
Confused? Read on…

If you think your phone camera needs a telephoto lens, I’ve got one for you right here. Don’t worry - this isn’t a digital microscope like the Aven iLoupe. This is a genuine telephoto lens for the camera on your cellphone that gives you, not 60x or 150x magnification, but a usable 6x zoom.

Christmas is just around the corner, and since I can’t think of anything else to write about, I’m posting my wish list - or at least the first installment of it. Listed below are some books I want.
Why books? The stupid reason is that I want to seem a bit more intellectual. Another reason is that I’m a geek - I love learning new stuff. You want another one? I’m sorry, but I can’t think of anything. I just know I want these books:

I admit, this isn’t really a post about photography per se. You se, I just wanted to post this picture here. Why? Because. That’s not reason enough, then here’s another - I think the world should be able to see how cute my godson is.
Isn’t my godson cute?
Don’t think so? Tell me honestly that he isn’t - I dare you.
I’m being silly, aren’t I? You have to admit though, it is a nice picture. It is, isn’t it?
