I kinda wanna spend all the money I just made on Etsy on this:

or this:

the Three Leaps of the Gazelle! I'll be looking for those, what wonderful imagery. The Lyrid Meteor shower is coming up on the 22nd, which reminds me of this:

(thanks, design squish)

Which can also be seen here:

It's terribly difficult to take a decent picture of one's own back so I feel this shot really doesn't do it justice, but you get the idea. And a cover up no less! Well done Matt Lentz!

This month's full moon, the Worm Moon, will be the biggest and brightest of the year thanks to perigee. Hooray! Read more about it here. News of this most wonderful of full moons has me kicking myself even more than before for deciding not to visit SXSW this year. I feel like a first class dummy. :(

Apogee/Perigee image, thanks NASA!

I was lying in bed sick today, very frustrated about my lack of energy and inability to work on projects when my internet-ing led me to this:



It's a monthly stargazing video podcast from Hubble! February is essentially over but highlights include Jupiter, Betelgeuse, Canis Major and Venus.

I'm shopping for a new lunar calendar over on Etsy. I think I'm going to get this one from Three Brown Hares:

But this one from Caitlyn Galloway is super gorgeous too!

Tough!

The sun was so bright! In December! Everything looked like a story book and crazy things happened with my film. It was an excellent day.

*very* amateur photography

Ok so here are some of the pictures I've taken with the Polaroid:

Focus and light (whats the photography word for this? aperture?) are manually adjustable, as is shutter speed to some extent. (I've found that sometimes when I hold the trigger down the shutter stays open til I lift my finger, sometimes it just does its own thing.) I've found we do best with vistas and landscape type shots, mid-range and close-ups are pretty dicey right now - I think due more to my inexperience than any lack of ability on the cameras part. Also, I am a weiner and the first few exposures are really hard for me to pull out of the camera. :) The exposures also dry funny and get really dirty when I'm outside, as I'm sure you see above.

SKIES

Occasionally I like to take pictures of the sky outside my window.

Nebulas!

space clouds made with batting, acrylic paint, & SPARKLES!
