A new toy for the shop which is already so much fun. But first I had to build an enclosure and an exhaust system from scratch. Still, it only slightly fills my workshop with smoke!

🎶 “If I could turn back time...” 🎶
Sorry, it’s too obvious of a reference when you’re working with the Eye of Agamotto. A quick print but a long and meandering assembly process. I had to cast various Infinity Stones in resin to find one that would fit the socket, and found that a battery-operated candle would offer a perfect flickering light source. The print is even functional, allowing me to open and close the eye!

Tonight we had a great (early) Valentine’s date night, learning how to make a “presentable” charcuterie board, thanks to @grazeandvines! This event was hosted at @provisionsonmain in downtown Duluth.

Doing a “Throwback Thursday” to a family beach

Doing a “Throwback Thursday” to a family beach trip over the Thanksgiving holiday. The full moon meant no good Milky Way shots, but a nice flare on the wide angle looked pretty cool.

I love a quick prop painting project! Kudos to user “zenix” on theRPF for designing a fantastic model of Dr. Strange’s sling ring. I got the print through Shapeways and did the finishing myself. It’s not a perfectly polished metal look but it’s close enough for me. I think next I may try for the Eye of Agamotto.

Capturing a quick view while waiting on the crosswalk. And I love a good lens flare if I can work it into the shot.

“Warm Tones”
That moment you realize the background of your shot matches perfectly with the layers in your beer.

Reflecting back on the last photo meetup before the COVID times, which started at the MLK Center and consisted of an educational tour of Auburn Ave. For many reasons I miss these outings, not just for the camaraderie but to engage and learn the history of our city of Atlanta.

It’s obvious I’ve picked up other means to be creative outside of photography. When @amy.grau asked for a hall tree bench in the foyer that’s what she got. I started my planning by making a virtual model (which I 3D printed of course) just to get my lumber cuts identified. From there it was a slow build-up with trim and details. It was fun as a learning experience though I don’t think I’m switching careers for woodworking.

After the gifts were opened they got put to use. A new router, brad nailer, Japanese saw, and forstner bits got put to practice making a hanger for my new #savageindustries shop apron. I couldn’t think of a better way to break things in and learn how they behave in normal use.

“Socially Distant”
That was the trip in a nutshell. This year our beach vacation, and only family trip the whole year, was off-peak at a private house rental. We spent Thanksgiving getting take-out and riding bikes and just trying to clear our heads of 2020. I had time to walk the beach getting all the shots I wanted in infrared and ultraviolet, this one being the latter.

“Raven Cliff Falls” The first of several shots

“Raven Cliff Falls”
The first of several shots from a camping trip we took last weekend. The weather was absolutely perfect for an overnight stay in North Georgia and the first such backpacking adventure for my daughter. This trip I only had my iPhone but got some fantastic shots of the trail and colors where leaves still clung to trees after recent storms. Stay tuned!

After riding lessons, she grooms the horses and gets quality time with the barn cats (this one is Sammy). COVID sucked the life out of our existing plans, but we discovered some new experiences and activities we normally wouldn’t have tried.
