Lighthouse Space Station

Ok maybe I'm getting a little carried away.

360 x 180 Planet Panoramas

I always liked those planet panoramas that people are making and had a idea I wanted to work on .So I put aside 6 photos that I wanted to add after I made the panorama . downloaded the " Hugin " software and started working on my little project.

after a couple of hours I got so frustrated with all the failure of just making the planet that I gave up for the day not knowing when I'll get back to finishing the photo in my head. If I ever figure out how to make the planet the rest should be easy.

This was as far as I got before hitting the wall.

Update:  While it didn't come out the way I had hoped , I learned a lot from this and look forward to shooting more of these.

Human Trafficking

It is estimated that human trafficking brings in business that totals more then 32 billion dollars a year and effects millions of people.

from a post on Facebook I came across a site from Brook Shaden where she is helping set up , "  The photographic training center " in Kolkata , India that will benefit survivors of human trafficking. they are asking for donations of any type , cameras , equipment and laptops( new or used ) to help them with this charity.  

Should you have any equipment sitting around collecting dust that you would like to donate here is a link below for more information.

Quote

I was checking out some pans I made a few weeks ago and found that I really liked this one. but didn't know what to do with it. so I decided to just add a quote.

New Toy

Have to start somewhere

one way to keep warm this frigid winter is to keep busy. so I decided to start Spring cleaning early and the first thing was to clean up all the junk on my Facebook page.

during December I was putting up music each day that I listed as Stocking stuffers.friend and partner in crime ( Whom I'll just call Mr Green ) was watching me and asked , "what if anyone wants to come back to the list of cds ? ".

well I guess anything is possible. and if there is just one person that comes along and buys and likes something from the list then it will be worth the time spent.So for anyone that maybe looking later the list is below.
