Tripod



When the Great Plotnik had to buy new special, flat batteries for his digital camera, the ones he found on Amazon came with a tiny, foldable digital camera tripod. This morning Plotnik walked upstairs to get the newspaper at 7AM and the view of the city seemed like something out of years past -- smoke from a factory, lights twinkling on, a hazy glow in the sky.

So he got out his miniature tripod, screwed in the camera, set the apparatus on the barbecue and took a few pictures.





It's a little better than before. So now, if he can just learn how to control the shutter speed, and get one of those little screw-in triggers so he isn't moving the whole tripod when he trips the shutter, the view will get better and better, digitally speaking of course.

Wait a minute - your batteries came with a tripod? Those must be some special dang batteries. (I wonder if I bought a blender whether it would come with a serving utensil stand.

This post just doesn't feel complete without a food photo. Maybe something you ate for breakfast?

When I see photos like these, I get such a hit of longing. It's not just visual—I can feel these photos. How the h did SF become part of my blood in 5 short years?
