I love my new Canon T3i DSLR camera.  I needed to be able to make Buttshark shine in front of a blurred forest.  I got it first shot out of the box.  I'm off to the races taking pictures around town.  Here's some selected images for your viewing pleasure.  

Long term night exposure in front of Yucca Flats.

Caught a few sunsets making super nice, pink clouds.

Carolyn and I made a trip to the Santa Clara Cemetery.  It's down the hill a few blocks.   One trip in the morning, another as the first leg of a beer run took place late afternoon.  Great shadows.

Balloon Fiesta 2012 was happing the last week.

Here's three animations I made while in Chicago.  Getting better with the technique.  Looking for a newerish camera.  I need one with a remote trigger, having to push the button on the camera is causing some of the inconsistent frames.

"Buttshark" and "Mini Tree Urban Tree No. 2" will be shipped off to Chicago late this week.  I arrive late next week, but have a few days off in the Windy city.  Planning on using my Sunday to take photographs of these two playing in the city.  Casting shadows upon the urban environment.  Bringing shade and maybe a smile to a few pedestrians during the day.

I've created three isolated compartments.  Labeled for ease of repacking.  Battery charger included.

Each sculpture has a polyester sock for protection and ease of re-packing at various locations.  Don't forget tape.  

   

All packed up and ready to go.  The great thing with all that foam to keep the objects safe, the box makes a perfect stool to sit on while shooting photographs.  Just one less thing to worry about.
