There's nothing like a fresh bowl of some very sweet cherries from the farmer's market.

Learned a new technique called "dof stacking" or "focus stacking." It could be used to extend the depth of field while using a fully open aperture. Basically, I took two photographs with two different focus points and merged them together using a program called CombineZM. So instead of one focus point, I now have two, or numerous focus points.
This is my first shot using this technique of some random items lying about on my desk. I tried to emphasize the difference between the two focus points on the red and blue monsters. I'll think about other uses with this technique.

The "multicultural" crayons are here. You should know that the white crayon is very white, and the black crayon is very black. And somehow the rest of the crayons are suppose to match everyone in-between. Uh, right.

QOTD: "Bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will, to be rightful, must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal laws must protect, and to violate would be oppression." --Thomas Jefferson, 1st Inaugural (1801).
I had this quotation drummed into me since high school (???). What a travesty that his words -- simple, principled, and enduring -- falls upon deaf ears. Then again, since the Texas Board of Education stripped Thomas Jefferson from the textbooks, I guess I don't have to be disappointed anymore.
