Smile, Metro Detroit…You’re on Candid Camera

Posted by Chief Oddball on Tuesday, December 11th, 2007 in Photography, Randomness

At 10:00 this morning, Google launched its Street View of Metro Detroit. For those who aren’t familiar, Street View is a special feature of Google Maps that lets you essentially “walk the streets” of a city. It features 360 degrees of still photographs taken every few yards along thousands of city streets, and [...]

New Toy: Canon Powershot S3 IS

Posted by Chief Oddball on Thursday, August 9th, 2007 in Photography

I’ve recently been jonesing for a more elaborate digital camera, after using point-and-shoots since I switched from 35mm film in 2000. Back when I graduated from high school, I got a Canon EOS Elan IIe 35mm SLR, and it was a fantastic camera. I still have it; it’s in pristine condition. Unfortunately, [...]

I didn’t have much to say during my vacation, but for those who are interested, I have posted photos of our trip to the photo gallery section.

All the pictures from our trips to Thailand and China have now been posted in the photo gallery, for anyone interested in browsing through them. There are snapshots of food, my brother-in-law’s wedding, pandas, more food, weird cars, busy city streets, breathtaking nature preserves, still more food, and lots of family members and friends.

Life, Abstracted

Posted by Chief Oddball on Sunday, January 28th, 2007 in Photography, Randomness

As some of you may know, I have a deep fascination with abandoned hospitals, particularly mental institutions. Recently, the cause of that fascination has started becoming clearer to me. I believe we all feel some strange compulsion to experience the things that frighten us most, but beyond that, there’s something strangely artistic — [...]

New GTO Photos Posted

Posted by Chief Oddball on Sunday, May 21st, 2006 in Cars, GTO, Photography

Apple and I conducted a fun picture-taking session this evening after dinner, and the result is a new gallery of GTO photos highlighting the new window tint I just had installed. It was a beautiful evening for capturing some images, and most of them came out really nicely. We shot some in-car video [...]

GTO on rooftop parking deck

It was a terrific weekend. Saturday I spent most of the day working, but on Sunday I got to spend some quality time both with my car and with Apple. For the first part of the day, while Apple [...]

One Fine Day

Posted by Chief Oddball on Thursday, January 19th, 2006 in Cars, GTO, Photography

I’m coming to you from the Boardwalk Resort at Disney World this evening, where we’ll be staying the night after an eventful and exciting day. The GTO is officially in my possession now, the Sport Appearance Package is installed and damn does it look amazing. The dealership did a great job installing all [...]

Photo Gallery, Take 2

Posted by Chief Oddball on Tuesday, January 17th, 2006 in Photography, Site

While I already announced the opening of the Oddball Update Photo Gallery, I wanted to take a moment to announce today that I’ve already re-done it. Yeah…I decided that the Flickr service wasn’t for me. I always had an aversion to off-site storage of photography (I like to keep everything in-house on my [...]

I’ve added a few more of Friday’s GTO pictures to the photo gallery; they’re not the best shots but they do show some additional things!
