The Joy Of The Mundane's photostream  

“ Photography is the embalmers craft. When I photograph something my camera kills it, and I must gently and with love restore it with the life I witnessed with my own eyes, so that others can see what I saw. To do less would be merely to exhibit a corpse."

"Photos always turn out much better when you have a camera on hand to take the picture."

More than missing most of the jokes, you'll also miss most of the beauty & joy in this world. It's the little, odd things that make my day. Beauty is everywhere, every day, in everything. You just have to be looking for it.

My photos right now are a 50/50 split between my Cannon EOS Digital Rebel XTi & my Canon Powershot A550 (hacked with CHDK).

The Powershot is my everyday, carry-it-in-my-pocket camera; and the Rebel is the camera I use when I go out specifically to take photos.

I love my Rebel, but I still believe that good photography is more about having an eye for details and interestingness than the camera you use. I've taken great shots with older, more lo-res digital cameras & even my phonecam.

Go ahead and add me as a Contact, I love to see new & amazing photos!
