Middletown Eagles Game 1, vs. Rumson Dawgs 09 PopWarner


09-EddieFootballG1-2848, originally uploaded by Kadath.

Eagles got smoked 18-0 but you could see a lot of improvement over the Scrimmage game last week. The team is really starting to gel and I see a good season ahead for them.

Gotta love the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular. Call it a cheezy tourist photo if you like but I love how this one turned out.

Soft Shell Cicada


09-cicada-1561, originally uploaded by Kadath.

While cleaning up our annual Fireman's fair this morning one of our members grabbed me to tell me he watched a Cicada molt out of its shell and had left it on top of some Peaches we were tossing out. I had him hold it up for a few quick snaps with the 18-200 since I didn't have my macro lens, but they turned out pretty neat I think!

The full set can be found:

I didn't think to grab a shot of the old skin. But this guy was a LOT more colorful than any other Cicada I've seen around here, apparently they get dusted up quite quickly but when in their birthday suit they look really cool.

Welcome to 1610!


09-AugustMoon-1518, originally uploaded by Kadath.

Had no idea my modest gear would be able to resolve any of the moons from other planets in our solar system, but I was able to get this clear shot of Jupiter and the 4 moons that Galileo discovered in 1610 sitting just under and to the right of the brilliant full moon last night!

We've entered the Matrix

Spooky how many cameras there were in every direction in NYC. This one made me realize that we may catch the UK yet as far as eyes on the street.

My submissions for the NYC Photowalk Competition


09-PhotowalkNYC-0664, originally uploaded by Kadath.

I don't photowalk for the prizes, but they sure do add a nice little twist to it. I had a hard time choosing between my images, I had looked at a lot of the others which have been submitted already and I didn't see any that I thought could match up to the great images already there. None of my 'selects' looked like they really captured what I was going for nor would they be 'better' than others already up there. These two shots however seemed to say best what I saw and felt that day.

This first one seemed to have a kind of 'Half Life' twist to it, being watched on the streets by the security cam up high, hiding in plain view in the middle of the richly saturated (yet gritty) expanse of colorful background.

The second was a view from the Highline, which is a magnificent new park, surrounded by the timeless architecture of NYCs peaks and canyons. This one is 'The end of the line', and yet NYC is just beginning past the end of this park.

Saw women walking out of this store carrying bags that said the name is "ShoeGasm". Very cool design and looked way above my pay grade. =)
