It took me 6 months to finally start lowering the ISO for dark shots. Meh. I still prefer long exposures.

I resorted to install the demo of Arcade Reality on my Treo, 3 years after it started collecting dust. I saw it came out for the iPhone and I remembered how awesome this game was. Is it ridiculous to want an iPhone to be able to play a game with the camera?

After months of researching, shopping and drooling, I finally took the first step toward my inevitable artistic career and bought myself a nice new digital SLR camera. I wanted more control on my pictures than my respectable Canon SD750 could offer and decided I wanted (read: needed) a great camera.

I managed to get a deal off the cheapest DSLR available at Futureshop, where only the demo was left available. At 474$ with a special lens (they didn’t include the cupcake lens but a 14-42mm one) and a 4gb high-speed CF card, it was a steal, especially since it was in mint condition.

It took me some time to get used to the newly-found total control the gadget offered, but the results (after a few blurry mishaps) were absolutely astounding as long as I had the focus right. In this picture, the camera grabbed so much details you can see our cars and our neighbors’ house reflected in Paco’s eyes.

We were walking around that place we like to call the armpit of the city when we stumbled upon this magnificient transportation modding feat. Behold THE RAINBOW SCOOTER!

Sadly enough, there is far worse to be found in Granby. I’m still trying to take a photo of the Tercel with spray-painted orange plastic spinners and a hood scoop.

A snapshot of my slow afternoon under the sun with my oh-so-wonderful girlfriend.

A food fight broke out at school today. It was both funny and terrifying and we didn’t take part (with much remorse). I also snapped this picture while walking home. There are many, many more birds that couldn’t even fit in the picture. That’s pretty scary when those poop machines are flying above your head.

Not pictured above: the chaos five minutes earlier.

If they all shat at once...

This is something I snapped while we were burning leaves this fall. The picture was taken in the middle of a sunny day.

I didn’t take any good picture this week since I spent most of it carrying my camera without a memory card. Here’s a cute recycled picture of my pets to pretend I did something…

UPDATE: A pug and a boston terrier
