Photographing Wildlife

Chipmunk

Snail

Bird

I gen­er­al­ly don’t take pho­tos of wildlife, because I don’t have the right equip­ment; the most tele­pho­to lens I have is a 100mm macro, where I’d say at least 200mm is need­ed. Wildlife also tends to be dif­fi­cult to cap­ture, since the vari­ables are so hard to con­trol (espe­cial­ly with mod­els that don’t under­stand ver­bal com­mands), and the chances fleet­ing. Every now and then, an oppor­tu­ni­ty presents itself though.

The Truth Hurts

Some peo­ple are hurt by the things I say here. But I make no judg­ment; I only speak the truth, sup­port­ed by the facts. So if some­one is a stalk­er who blames her prob­lems on the object of her atten­tions, or treats her son like a trained ani­mal, or decides to charge friends and room­mates for rides to the gro­cery store, and I doc­u­ment it here, I’m not the one who’s embar­rass­ing them. They do that enough for them­selves.

It’s like a doc­u­men­tary about the Holocaust. The film­mak­ers don’t need to offer an opin­ion that con­demns it. The footage and tes­ti­mo­ni­als speak for them­selves.

Sometimes, the peo­ple who don’t like what I have to say are so delu­sion­al that they sup­ply their own real­i­ties, per­haps because they don’t want to be at fault.

They don’t real­ize it’s the truth that hurts, not me.

Boxer Briefs

Boxer briefs

She bought me these box­er briefs. Calvin Klein, body cut, light­weight cot­ton con­struc­tion.

Until then, all the under­wear I had were plaid XS box­ers from The Gap that I could only find online, or XXL from Gap Kids, dec­o­rat­ed with rock­ets, and bas­ket­balls, and skiers. I did­n’t think she’d find any­thing else that would work on my small frame.

So this is my first pair of box­er briefs, and they fit. My sexy under­wear, she would call them. I guess it’s hard to find my oth­er under­wear sexy when it’s meant for those 7–14.
