well everyone, i have a bunch of stuff. first some pictures of the sky. i have ideas about why the sky looks like this but i recommend you just enjoy them. i enjoyed taking them, it's a process. roofs and swerves and capers and k-fives and crickets.


the writing below a picture will be about the picture above. this particular one has some unusual designs and grid patterns in that cloud cluster. there is some sort of energy coming from the earth influencing the pattern of clouds. my personal opinion is that weather is mostly effected by the motion of the dynamo (in my understanding the molten goo inside the middle of the earth). i believe this is what is responsible for unusual patterns lately. i would suspect some abnormal dynamo activity. weakening fields and whatnot.

this is in my front yard. i enjoy putting an american flag in my pictures. to me, it feels like a nice touch of pride. lost pride. my 510 does noise reduction by dark frame subtraction. one exposure then another then remove the hot "noise-e" pixels. it works pretty well and i think everything it left is celestial. which is cool cause i saw none of that. this was more than likely over a minute worth of exposure time at iso 800.
this one i pushed the exposure "compensation" a bit. still learning. was relatively dull, wanted DOF and detail in the lower objects. surprised the sky did not "blow out". i have noticed that as the sunsets there seems to be an increase in interesting and unusual tones and shapes in the atmosphere. it is my favorite time to be out. i believe this picture is taken with my passwird.com $20 monopod-tripod deal. this would be the monopod, you get what you pay for.


this is probably my favorite of the bunch and the best illustration of clouds mimicking some sort of ethereal energy signature. this cloud is far beyond what its brethren were sporting, visually. i imagine it is paired with some sort of resonant frequency. possibly the result of communications or whatever else we use the spectrum to transmit. cell phones? it makes me wonder if meteorology even studies or has studied this type of thing. i would venture to guess most just judge "larger picture" satellite imagery as opposed to severely local and rarely unusual clouds. this is my fantasy. this is my personal discovery of a forgotten art. interpreting the energy signatures present in cloud and particulate matter motioning for attention harboring some sort of message, for all of us. the medium of communication for earth -> human. have i gone malko?this is as the sun was setting. the faint orange worries me rather then inspires me. dont ask why.
this cloud is super weird. very teal.


did i mention i have been taking martial arts? tiger schulmans. i hear it called mcdojo, but i somewhat enjoy it. dont know if i can afford 1330 dollars for 65 classes. i would like to. but then again. yea. ramapo opens again on the 4th of sept.

anyone want to go to modest mouse on sept. 8th at mccarren pool? i bought a ticket back when it was scheduled for keyspan park, and the date has been switched twice since then. as of now i am going solo.
