fennel and I have split up again, for good this time, I think. Neither one of us is happy about it. The reasons for the break are complicated; please don't assume you know what they are unless you've spoken to one -- or preferably both -- of us.

While he was photographing the Infinitarium in fennel's eye, I snuck a couple of my own shots. On a side note, I want to point out that fennel is doing that weird thing with his ( Read more... )

The first shots from my new camera. Unfortunately, for some reason, UFRaw can't read the RAW files from it. I've found another RAW app that can, but using it involves a learning curve while getting used to its controls and options that I'm finding daunting just at the moment. So for the next little while, you get images post-processed from jpgs ( Read more... )

eestiplika is here safely and is puttering around ensconcing herself in her new room.
