Just got into Singularity Sky by Charles Stross. I love the style of his work — the subtle humor, the plotting, the legal entanglements of super-intelligences. Cutting edge work. Cutting things up generally.
Should get back to posting daily sketches — and maybe a new painting — within the next week. With that, allow me to usher you toward the myriad delights to be found at Street Photography In Paris.
Go on. See what you’ve been missing.

** Intolerable Threat To Peace would be a good name for a battleship, don’t you think? Very modisch, very Iain M. Banks.

I see you didn’t get the moon in anymore focus than I did. LOL. We really should have stopped down the aperture I guess.
I don’t know how you got the moon over on the left though. I didn’t think my photo was really that much more angled, but I guess it is. http://tinyurl.com/qloj5t
Wouldn’t be enough unless the subject was much further away — say,
1100 to 1200400 to 500 feet. The cardinal in the photograph was probably 50 feet away. Maybe a bit less.I might have eked out three or four more stops before the shutter speed became a problem at 200ISO. On a 135mm lens, f6.4 works out to about 10 feet of depth for a subject 50 feet away.
Hmm. Maybe there’s some way we can bring the moon closer.
Cats weight?? That should be used more often. I also see the cat returned
, lovely pictures — love the cardinal.
: ) Thanks, Sam! (Yep — the cat returned; doesn’t totally trust me yet… but didn’t seem to mind my presence while taking photographs.)
