taking shots

1 Nov 2004

My new Sony digital camera arrived last Thursday, and thanks to it and Flickr, I've been crazy-obsessed with it. One of the groups on Flickr--Squared Circle--is devoted to taking pictures of circular objects or phenomenon and then cropping them to a square frame; because Flickr automatically resizes the thumbnails, whatever the original resolution, to a single size, the slideshow from this group can be oddly hypnotic as the images morph from one to the next. I've submitted a couple dozen to this group alone, and have started seeing circles everywhere.

I really love the new camera, and I'm having a lot of fun with my latest hobby/obsession.

About me

Thom Watson was born in a "pro-America" part of the country but then grew up to become a gay, liberal, Harvard-educated atheist living in northern California. He has come to terms with the fact that this pretty much disqualifies him from ever holding public office.
