Spiderman, Spiderman, Radioactive Spiderman

spiderman, desktop wallpaper, macro, hires, stock photography, CC-BY-SA Lots and lots and lots of spidermen, in the "crane game" at Coney Island. I think this one would make a really fun desktop background. The top left is even kind of dark and our of focus - good for placing icons!

Photo Fun at Coney Island


The most ridiculous
picture of me ever.
Last weekend, a bunch of us went to Colleen's and then to Coney Island for some Fluff in Brooklyn fun.

I was hoping to catch Ravi the contortionist at the freakshow and see how he's doing but I guess that he's thought better of a career in the sideshow industry. According to the barker there, his wife talked him out of it. Hopefully he's pursuing college like he planned. I interviewed and photographed Ravi last summer after meeting him twice in a week by pure coincidence. He's a really nice kid.

This weekend, I took quite a few pictures, and continued on my macro photography and long exposure kick. You can check out my photos here and then see what Colleen did with her set in today's comic here.

Speaking of comics, I hear-tell that our friend Chris Moreno's real ink+paper comic #2 is hitting stores right about now. King Arthur Vs. Dracula sounds silly, but honestly, it's the first comic I've enjoyed reading in ages.

Well, 15 straight hours of coding an IT Help Desk system in PHP/MySQL later, I'm finally getting tired, so I'll close this up before I fall asleep at the keyboard like I did last night.

Before I go, I figure I ought to mention the amazingness that is the picture at on the right here. I didn't intend to do a patriotic photo shoot, I just happened to be in the right spot at the right time, and although I think the picture's ridiculous, it's just funny enough to be my new favorite. That, and I'm really still quite enamored of my tattoo. I guess that's a good thing seeing as I've had it almost 2 years now. I figure if I can make it to 30 without regretting it, I'll have done better than your average tattoo-getter.
