I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for water today.
Posted by RyanG in Photography, Rants on February 12, 2009
For the past few weeks there have been a rash of issues with our water supply lines here in our apartment complex. We’ve been without cold or hot water or both for hours at a time. It’s culminated into our landlord deciding to basically gut our water lines and replace them. So since last Friday [...]

Posted by RyanG in Funny, Photography on February 5, 2009
For those of you who may have missed it, this week one of my favorite new(ish) sitcoms Chuck presented this episode in 3D. I had evidently missed the marketing campaign that mentioned that it would be in 3D, probably cause I’m not a big sports fan, and most of the hype was during the super [...]

My free DIY lightbox
Posted by RyanG in Photography on September 10, 2008
Since acquiring my Nikon D80 Digital SLR, I’ve been spending more and more time reading and researching about how to best exploit it’s capabilities and improve my shooting skills. As a result of this effort I’ve found a wonderful resource on lighting with small off camera flashes over at Strobist. I stumbled across them when [...]
Controversial Kinetic Sculpture
Posted by RyanG in Art & Multimedia on November 16, 2007
It’s been entirely too long since I’ve made a blog entry, and I’ve got a lot of stuff lined up when I finally get a few free minutes. In the meantime, this was sent to me, and I found it very interesting, if only from a technical and art perspective. There is a lot of [...]
