The problem with living where I do is that everything is calm. The most disturbing thing around is the wind moving flowers and leaves about. Normally this would be a relaxing environment that is pleasant to photo…but this week I need things in motion to make my photography assignment work. The most dynamic and moving […]
I have been waiting for a package to arrive from Orion for the past 8 days, today it arrived. From another place, Adorama, I ordered a part as well, it arrived on Tuesday. I ordered both parts on the same day, believing that the parts were compatible parts that needed each other to function. The […]
Lean ground beef is rumored to be one of the most versatile foods available, but I am having difficulty with this theory. I was encouraged by Chris last night to prepare something this evening based on beef. My first thoughts were something with a tomato sauce and a pasta, second thoughts were with something like […]
Education at one of the best colleges in the country? No Having class with really hot basketball players? No Chance to take part in an old academic tradition? No Opportunity to become a human lab-rat? YES Since becoming a UNC student I have been invited to join about 15 different medical studies. I get at […]

I feel like I’m loosing touch with my blog and there isn’t really a lot going on right now, so mostly my updates are from the photographic side of things. Once again there are more photos I have taken available on my normal gallery at: http://www.disturbingthoughts.net/gallery2/v/album/2008-05-26/. They are a bit mix-and-match and most are a […]
DSCF2447 Originally uploaded by Curtis M. Kularski I was playing with my 15x macro lens that came with my wide angle adapter earlier and I was studying some flowers in the yard. I feel like I never get to photo living things, so it was fun following this ant across the flowers. I’ve never noticed […]
My second week assignment for Digital Photography is up. It was a slightly fun assignment involving exposure, noise and bracketing.
