Just spent the past hour staring out the window.

That Lensbaby Guy
Just came back from a free photography workshop courtesy of JT Photoworld, Lensbaby, and Matt Granger (a.k.a. That Nikon Guy).

Go Figure (2012/07/16)
After much procrastination and the recent suggestion from DigitalRev, I had finally assembled the Evangelion model which I had bought last year.

Upgrades
Just purchased the cheapest full-HD LED monitor I could get my hands on.
Samsung Series 3 T23A350 — pretty decent bang per buck

The Walking Man (volume 2)
In contrast to my previous solo photowalk which involved a single zoom lens (the EF-S 18-135mm), this collection was taken using only prime lenses (specifically, the cheapshit EF 50mm f/1.8 and the Lensbaby fisheye with the f/8 aperture).
Also, these were taken over several days instead of in a single session.
Although I also had the Lensbaby Sweet 35 in the bag, I had not encountered any subject recently which really begged to be taken with a selective focus lens. That piece of glass has rather limited use outside of portraiture.
Incidentally, I need to do a thorough check of the camera after this batch of photographs. Frequent switching of lenses is a recipe for stubborn dust on the sensor.

A few loose screws
Just bought a new cheapshit device for me to toy with.
I tested it a while ago, and it was surprisingly responsive (though my expectations were admittedly low to begin with). As it is, I suppose that regular customers could find this very useful. Imagine waking up at night and needing to go to the bathroom. No more need to fumble around for the light switch: Just walk in the general direction and the light instantly switches on as you approach it.
I have other plans for the gadget though.
With an additional transistor and an audio cable of suitable length, I reckon that this Taiwanese product costing Php150 could be turned into a simple motion detector for triggering a (D)SLR camera to take pictures. The butchering will proceed once I have a better idea of the sensor's range and sensitivity.
Amusingly, the group of LED lights (which I would have no need for afterwards) is of similar shape and size to Tony Stark's iconic chest piece.
I suppose that one could slap on a switch and a few batteries, then sew this to the inner side of a dark shirt for shits and giggles. Voilà! Instant cosplay/Halloween costume.

An unsound mind in an unsound body
Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a pulmonary check up.
Waiting for my turn to see the doctor, I wandered through the halls at 8PM and noted that I was exhibiting the symptoms of having played too much Silent Hill.
An unsound mind in an unsound body, but at least the imagination is somewhat healthy.

Seriously, these walls would have been fucking awesome if they were painted red
