All Hail Buult and Nuut, Protectors of Our Finest Creations!

Uploaded a new set of photos. Not quite as good, photographically, as the Sea Cake photos in my opinion, but I had some fun with the captions. Also, unless you're me, you probably don't get underneath the Fremont Bridge very often.

The captions get a bit more "fiction-fun" as they progress. It's funny how easy it is to proceed down a line like this once its in your head.

Check out the whole gallery here.



This cathedral was finished in 1973.




Some believe it is an ugly structure, symbolic of the dirt and decay of the time period.




Inside the structure itself we find the reliquary, which gives power to the structure and all who pass through it.

Ocean Confections

A couple of months ago I had a strange image of a cake surrounded by authentic Pacific Ocean foam.

So last week, when we went to the coast, we brought a pretty cake, an a cake stand.

Here are some of the results. I posted the good ones in a gallery here.


I didn't even know the couple was standing there when I took this one. I was trying to keep the gravel out of my lens.





Digital photography is amazing. As I described to Megan while having a Photoshop geek-out, "it's like creating a visible-spectrum light database! Photoshop is the Google of light!" Maybe, maybe not; but with standard film this picture would have been a blurry cake and face in a completely dark frame. Light is retouched, that's it.



This wasn't the best foam shot, but I think it's my favorite. You never know at the time. Isn't the cake stand awesome? It's warp-age is totally its antique charm.



It felt really nice to get a project all the way to completion. And it was a lot of fun, running around in the winter waves, taking pictures of a cake! So many weird looks from the dog-walkers and teenagers.
