I think this is the most “Gregory Crewdson”-esque picture I’ve yet taken. I really want to know what used to be in between the F and the R…

I’ve been told “FAIR” but I’d really like it to be “FEAR.” I don’t know why, and I do not care to know what that says about me, but there you have it.

It wouldn’t have to be a specific sort of fear but, you know, just remember that there are things to be afraid of.

There is a difference though between fear and scare – I’m scared of spiders but I don’t fear them. I’m afraid of a 1984-like government but I’m not scared of it.

It is important to have a healthy amount of “fear” in one’s life, or else you will never have anything to work against or for.

January is almost over…this month felt like a year. Got some good photos out of it, though!

I think the little hand-blur thing going on really sells the picture. It makes it less, oh, static. Still.

You might have noticed that the blog has a new theme. This is an attempt to shake things up, to make it a little bit more interesting around here. You might also have noticed that I am sticking with a non-photoblog theme, this is because wordpress’ photoblogging theme is awful, unlike this one.

Okay then, resume normal transmission…

This is the best bird ever.

Welcome to the new year, ladies and gents. Good luck!

You might notice a new link on the sidebar, to “Orwell’s Diaries.” They, in this case a selection of organizations, have been posting entries from George Orwell’s diaries as blog entires, and it makes for an interesting read. Not always an epic one – the entry from 12.18.38 simply reads “Two Eggs” – but it is worth it to get a look into the mind of such a fantastic writer.

In these trying times, we need something this funny.

Working on some projects. More later.
