Waitress Please, I've Had Enough

There are days where I worry about my caffeine tolerance.

Not because I'm afraid it's going to kill me, but due to the fact that I can consume copious amounts and not really be affected, so far as I can tell. Occasionally a cup of coffee after like 10pm messes me up, but that isn't very often.

I should probably cut back a little.

Without A Friend, There's No Denying

A friend at work asked to get a friend in. The friend started today. I wonder how much trouble this is going to end up being.

Is This Lump Outta My Head?

Here some pictures with the 28mm MC Underground lens. But without the filters.

We'll Be Catching Gamma Rays In My Flying Disco

I have this bush that has overtaken a tree stump in my front yard. Today I cut part of the center of it out, dropped a plastic flower pot into it and planted some flowers in the pot.

I grabbed my ProMaster 70-200 lens and grabbed a few pictures: 





















Hopefully the flowers don't die a horrible death this summer. If things start to get weird, I can always move them somewhere else.

She Totally Confused All The Passing Pihranas

Another lens from the manual focus/D40X project: The Nikon Nikkor Q-C 135mm from the camera store junk bin:






















I often use 135mm lenses, but I'm still trying to get a feel for this particular lens. The grain is interesting, and not something I really remember seeing very often. I was messing around with ISO and white balance settings, but even so, I usually don't get that much grain. Especially on a sunny day.
