Jesse on the KQED Radio

Holy crap, I was on the radio. Michael Krasny has a radio show on KQED called Forum, and today they were talking about how the budget impass in CA has ended (though not really if you ask me). I called in to say I had an idea of how to fix this, basically dock the legislature their pay for every day over the deadline. Anyway, if you want to hear it, here is the link. UPDATE: Liz said I'm somewhere between 30-40mins.

Burningman 2008 - The Sunset to End All




Burningman 2008 - The End of All Sunsets- Prequel


The 50mm Lens

I've been seriously thinking about getting a single zoom 50mm 1.4/F lens. It would be really fast and good for low light- people hanging out, night on the town, seeing bands, fire spinning, fun times pictures. Also, I'd probably get some mad crispiness out of a lens w/ a single zoom because they tend to have less optical elements and less weird funkiness that happens at the extremes of the tele-zoom ranges. Now the problem comes to which one to choose, there are three: Cheapest Canon 1.8/F $80, Medium Canon 1.4/F $350, and Expensive Carl Zeiss 1.4/F $660.  You should only need to buy glass once, but damn half of a paycheck...? Thoughts, opinions- and where is Dave? 

Drill Here Drill Now!


Big Picture Rocks; why shouldn't we do the off shore drilling thing? I mean, hey, why not? Nothing is going to happen, honest guys. These oil guys, keep telling me that nothing will happen, and the $1,000,000 check made out to my McCampain really makes me want to believe them, I mean common guys, why not? 

Burningman 2008 - End of the Bike Tour

Yay! My 400th post ever!





Burningman 2008 - Color on Black and White










Here is a color on black and white set.  Please try to let me know which of these are your four favorites. I plan to print them and frame them. I know some of these are repeats, but I've enjoyed them so much that I wanted to make one post just for the color on bw. 

UPDATE: I had to go with all landscapes because of the frames available. So I made that blurry wings picture into a color on bw and it turned out pretty nice. The framed images look cool, went with the shark, the mantis, the bummer, and the lady in the wings. I'm going to frame the guy with the umbrella seperate cause I like him so much.
