The Dirty Dish Solution

Asking "Aren't you going to take off the lens cap?"

EXIF DATA: Canon Rebel XTi, focal length 18mm, 1/13s, f/3.5 ISO 1600 (Please note the low level of noise at that high ISO)

And you wonder why I wanted the dSLR?

Indian Point

Taken with my new dSLR Rebel XTi 10 MP camera with a tripod perched precariously on a granite outcropping...

Oh...no....wait....

Taken through my passenger side window which hasn't been cleaned since summer with my little Panasonic FX01 point and shoot while driving over the Trenton Bridge (YO SPK!) at 45 mph.

Guard rail and telephone wires cropped out for aesthetics.

What Should Have Been Pxite: White

Gah, I Did It Again! I Prematurely Posted Again.

Trash Can at White Sands National Monument, White Sands, NM.

There is some confusion over who actually took this photo and I only mention it here in fairness. Heather claims she did. But I'm certain that I did because I EXPLICITLY remember taking it. Which means, she MIGHT have taken it because my memory is so terrible. I'm vaguely certain I went to White Sands though. I think.

Still Waiting for Their Ship to Come In

This lame use of a cliche brought to you by Pxite, The Color White, And The Thing of the Moment.

And yes, this means that Pxite is back. Go enter! 

The Thing of the Moment's Red Sock School of Posting®

I have no explanation for this other than it popped up as a screen saver shot like a red sock in the wash and I decided YOU should see it. You're welcome. Please send no money. You'll be billed later.

Balance

I knew I'd have a reason to use this photo someday.

Paper or Plastic?

Introducing the Canon Rebel XTi

Please note the i! It's not some freaking crappy Rebel or Rebel XT, or ghastly Nikon, or laughable Olympus, or noisy late comer Sony. Those are for children. Good children, but children, nonetheless.

I broke down bought a dSLR on Black Friday for no other reason than to SHUT YOU SNOBBY dSLR users UP! I'm not even going to take it outside because it's TOO EXPENSIVE and a meteorite will hit it.

Actually, I think it'll make a nice back up camera after my Canon Powershot S2 and Panasonic FX01 which combined are the Full Body Rubdown with a Happy Ending of digital cameras.

And now, in all its Rebel XTi glory with the fairly decentish kit lens 18 - 55 blah blah blah, I give you...

My kitchen sink. 

Sometimes Thomas Wolfe is Wrong.

You CAN go home again. You know. Like..umm..for Thanksgiving. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say. But...uh..this isn't my house, so I'd not return to THAT. But it..umm... LOOKS like a house. It's like representative of everyone's house! If everyone... ummm... turned their house into this bed and breakfast. Sorta.

Happy Shopping Day after Thanksgiving, my Gentle Viewers from The Thing of the Moment.

Goodbye Fujifilm A210, We Hardly Knew Ye!

These are the last images ever taken with my beloved Fujifilm A210. I had dropped it earlier in the day and when I stopped to take this image I saw the focus was bizarre, sorta lensbabyish. I thought that I'd keep it and use it as a second camera for that effect until moments later when the whole lens came off in my hands. But it was a brave little camera right until it's very last photo. A moment of silence for it, please. Thank you.
