It's not that you set your goals too high, it's that you set your goals too low and achieve them.  Michelangelo


I've been fishing the internets and found some amazing very large scale photographs that I was taken with for their atmospheric feelings-  I was wondering how he could capture such compelling landscapes.  Aren't you?

Then I found how he does it!  These are carefully lit and photographed set-ups inside a 200 gallon fish tank!  The artist is Kim Keever and there are more on his site.  He adds pigments for the dispersion, he changes lights and sets up his scenes under the water!  Whatever works, and in this case it does quite well!

A Little Retail Therapy to treat myself after a long dry spell.  New Choos:  Found some cool new shoes, SO not me, that have a double strap that can be moved around on the shoe:

The strap can be doubled around through a loop on the sole and buckled on the side, or it can be crossed over the instep and buckled behind the ankle, or it can be crossed in back and brought around as an ankle strap buckled in the front.  Or it can be completely removed and wrapped around your wrist. These have a pewter strap but it's also available in a luggage tan which would be more versatile for work...if one actually had a job where one wore heels!  Super comfortable.  i am wearing them 'double strapped' to a magic show tonight, don't ask...
