Jetpack



Sometimes, simple is good. Simple words, simple images.

An example of high dynamic range (HDR) imaging. I'd seen this before, but didn't know what it was called. By total coincidence, kottke.org posted a funny chart that referred to this today.

Wikipedia, of course, has more information about this type of photograph.

Seattle



I could save just about every image/post that ISO50 (aka Scott Hansen) posts to his blog. He has an amazing collection of stuff and, to give credit where due, is probably a strong inspiration for me starting this random collection of images, etc.

In this case, the 'art deco' style (is that even correct?) always really grabs me. I would love to produce images in this style. In this case, these travel posters are the work of The Heads of State.

This isn't going to be so much of a 'writing' blog as it will be a 'collecting' blog. I'm hoping to get some sort of "auto-post" widget for Firefox so that I can just dump stuff here for reference, later review, fun 'n such. There won't be any real order ... it will be the chaos of the web, thrown here, as it comes.

I will do my best to link/credit whatever I do 'collect' here in case you want to see more of it, or just see where I grabbed it from. Ideally, this seems like something I should be doing with Tumblr or Dropular or Zootool, but one is blocked at work, one is still in private beta and one has a sketchy sounding ToS written in German only. I work with what I can.

Feel free to comment on whatever you see here, but please don't be offended if I don't write back (or at least not in a timely manner). I have no idea how often I'll be checking in or reading comments.

Hope you enjoy this -- hope I do as well.
