I just did an expanded version of this on my personal blog and thought I’d share some of my favorite shots from this year on KB as well. But I’m paring it down quite a bit here and adding some details. (I tried to narrow it down to 24, like two shots per month, but couldn’t quite do it.)

These aren’t in any kind of ranked order. They’re actually in the order I took them throughout the year. Most of the titles come from song lyrics. Extra points if you can identify them.

If you’ve never heard of the Salton Sea or Salvation Mountain in particular, you should google it sometime. Watch some youtube footage. Really fascinating place.

So come check out the adventures of Flat Liberace, if you like. And watch for some special appearances by Flat Fergie eventually, too.

This is the third in a series of posts I’m doing about photography. I’m approaching this as if I’m speaking to novices with no knowledge beyond pointing and shooting an automatic camera. In previous posts, I’ve covered composition and aperture/depth of field. This post is about shutter speed and the cool stuff you can do with it. If you don’t know what that means, don’t let it scare you. It’s actually very simple.

This is the second in a series of posts I’m doing about photography. I’m approaching this as if I’m speaking to novices with no knowledge beyond pointing and shooting an automatic camera. This post will be focused on (har har) aperture and depth of field. If you don’t know what that means, don’t let it scare you. It’s actually very simple.

This is the first of a series of posts I’m going to do about photography. I’m going to approach this as if I’m speaking to novices with no knowledge beyond pointing and shooting an automatic camera. I’ll start off talking about framing/composition, and eventually get more technical in later posts.
