Hat guard

Hat guard, originally uploaded by fejsez.

My hats are always safe and well guarded when Mushu(monkey) is around.
It’s like a security blanket for her. She will get her front paws in
the middle and nest there. She does it with my boxers also. Weird.

A friend of mine, Kevin, took this photo of his friend Ben. I am amazed at the clarity of the the detail when one zooms in on the photo. I thought everyone should have a chance to see it also.

If you want to see it in it’s full glory, it can be viewed here or right click to download the file. (warning, it is a 180 MB file, somae sure you have a fast connection)

Here is some of the info on the photo.

Camera- H3D II
Digital back- Hasselblad 31 MP
Lens- HC 120 makro

Lights- Profoto Acute 2400 pack with one acute D4 head
Modified with Mola beauty dish

Shooting and editing data
SS- 1/125
F16
iso 200
Camera was handheld and auto focused

File was barely sharpened, most sharpening and lens adjustments like
vignette and distortion corrections are done automatically when
importing the file into the Phocus. The software uses data from the
lens and camera to determine the correct amounts. its real nice. All they
did was a quick density correction to the curve and then a little WB
and its was ready to go.

Here she is just over it. What you cannot see is Katie and I laughing hysterically.

Please do not call the ASPCA or Tim Gunn on me.

I love Root Beer

Yes, as the title says, I love root beer. Something about the sweetness, bite, and cold refreshment do it or me. Not all root beers are created equal. A lot of the big consumer brands are toned down for the masses. I am not the masses. Every so often when I partake in mass produced [...]

Congrats to Barack Obama!
We got a little teary during the speech. It was great. I know it won’t change overnight, and there are still politics involved, but I have Hope, which I haven’t had in a long time when it comes to goverment.

No chain binding, no weird creaks or noises.
Today I am heading out to vote early and ride as far as I can. I am planning on [...]
