I do follow a few accounts on Instagram that post some fine science fiction (and otherwise uncanny) art. Here are a few: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vintage Sci-fi Art (@vintage_scifiart) …read more…

Add a little UFO to your life
I love the fact that I’m random enough that most of my social media accounts have no idea what to recommend to me. But every once in a while, they hit the nail on the head. YouTube did exactly that when they recommended TheCrafsMan SteadyCraftin to me. I just love everything about his videos. This …read more…

The first relaxing weekend in the new apartment…time for a long relaxing walk and time to think.
Field Recordings #1
A couple of years ago, I bought a Tascam DR-05 recorder. It’s nothing fancy, really—just a handheld recorder that records in stereo. I immediately became intensely interested in recording everything around me. I also learned about “touch noise” which is noise that you get from touching the recorder.

Just tonight, I noticed that the moon was beautifully aligned with these two planets. Here is the first image …read more…
Hoarfrost Morning
I awoke one morning last December to a magical scene: the entire world covered in hoarfrost. I got out and got as many pictures as possible, but hoarfrost is a very temporary entity at best, and difficult to photograph on a sunny day. These are the best of perhaps twenty photographs I took that morning …read more…
…a noiseless patient spider…
I found this spiderweb in the grass outside my apartment one morning at the end of last month. If you look at it up close, it’s such a delicate, intricate little construction. It obviously reflects a great deal of work and skill in its construction. Coated with dew, it looks like a snug, almost magical …read more…
photos from spring of 2010
I took these pictures last March (in 2010) and played around with them a bit in Photoshop. You can comment here or in the gallery to let me know what you think.
