A sunrise from December of 2005. I had to get up early that day to take my ACT college entrance exam which I got a composite score of 28/36 on. In two weeks I will finally finish my A.A. degree.

The same tree from Autumn Leaves, three weeks later in November of 2005. The leaves have gotten more orange and deader!

Not to be confused with Autumnal Leaves from September of 2007.

Falling raindrops. I shined an incandescent flashlight on them and used my camera’s flash to make them look like fiery sparks.

A flower that looks like fireworks. I don’t know if this is pretty or terrifying. Reminds me of a hoard of fire ants… eww…

Photo: Red Pine Cone

Some sort of reproductive device on a plant. It’s not a pine cone but it looks like one.

According to Jessica H., this is a ginger cone of the Zingiberaceae family, which is actually an angiosperm. Pine cones are conifers which are more primitive than angiosperms.

Tomatoes at Publix from September of 2005. This picture had motion blur so I sharpened it a lot.

Photo: Red Laser

A 1-second exposure of a red laser pointer that I moved in this pattern. This is the same type of photo as Fiery Hearts, at the same place. The line is dimmer because this photo is exposed less.

The break in the laser on the left is the indent for the window. There is a line of reflections in the center which looks interesting.

Colorful Widgets

A product at Wal-Mart. I think these were post-it notes on a roll but I don’t remember. I just liked the colors. They were near the frozen foods.

Any product you don’t know the name of is a “widget.”

Tomatoes Without Silicone

Unlike in Publix’s ads, tomatoes can be very ugly. I shot this at the local produce market and you can see spots all over them. Granted, I added contrast, color, and vignetting, but I didn’t bother editing out all the spots like the professionals do. Normally I’d call it laziness, but today I’m calling it realism. These are tomatoes without silicone… no, that has nothing to do with boobs.

The Homeland

The red Ondura roofing Dad added to our sheds, with our house in the background. We haven’t done any work on the tar and gravel roof. It was installed right before we moved in, 16 years ago (1993-03).

Ondura roofing is widely regarded as biodegradable garbage, but it’s working well for us. Talk to me in ten years. It might disintegrate soon.

The trailer I live in and am typing from now is not visible in this shot. It’s behind the mess of buildings.
