As I've said before, I've been taking pictures of this bridge for ages. Today on the way back from running some errands, I stopped to snap it again. This time I got lucky and the train went by (shots of that possibly later.) I spent bloody ages working on the levels here. I'm much happier with the results than I was last time. Infrared is a strange medium to work in. It's dynamic range is quite limited, and not at all like normal (digital) photography. Conversely, the weirdness of it hides what would be obvious flaws or mistakes.

Oh, that reminds me. Best Bukkit picture evar: It is the People's Glorious Red Bukkit.

I just got booked as the opening DJ for Bassnectar playing @ Pearl St. in NoHo this Friday. Holy crap.

3rd party CD3K pads show up on the 'Bay with fair regularity.

I still use Flickr, but have been making noises (if not taking action) about switching to SmugMug for ages.

Cool. I did not know the source. Not shooped, AFAIK.

Re: B&W Conversions. Shot with my 30D and a borrowed 85L @ F/2.2, 1/125th, ISO1000. Converted to B&W and tweaked in PS using, ahem, a plugin or two. In retrospect, I wish I'd dropped the ISO to 640 and opened the aperture a bit. I didn't have use of the 85L nearly long enough to get to know it. I've got quite a long and convoluted story about the subject, but that's not something I'd discuss here. Maybe in the Casino. Maybe.

While I'm glad there's another FLAC player for OSX (seeing as how Play is a buggy POS, and abandonware to boot) but I am not sure about Clementine. It uses QT (not QuickTime), which is a sucktastic cross-platform GUI that IMJO looks its worst on OSX.
