more photos from disney's animal kingdom today. i took a bunch of photos of various textures with the intention of making photoshop brushes out of them. they looked so cool that i decided to make a gallery out of them. i really cranked the contrast and saturation to bring out all the details in the textures.

well, our disney passes are about 2 weeks from expiration... bummer. eventually we'll renew them, but this is going to be the last few trips for awhile. we went to 3 of the parks today and i got some great pictures at animal kingdom, which will make up the next few galleries. today are pictures of some of the birds at the park. i tried to keep my digital tweaking to a minimum so as not to mess with the bird's natural colors.

sommer bought me an accordion for my birthday last year and as a strangely coincidental bonus, there was a book on ukulele songs in it called 'everyone's favorite songs for ukulele.' the book is really old and cool looking, nice yellowed pages and everything. the funny thing is that it is old, so i don't recognize any of the songs. the funnier thing is that even if it wasn't old, i still probably wouldn't know what everyone's favorite ukulele song is...

i collect a lot of stuff, but one of my oldest collections is lighters. my grandmother gave me a lighter some time ago that had a tiny music box built in. the thing never worked and i was afraid to crack it open and try and fix it. one day i decided to take a look, got it to work one time and then it promptly broke into several pieces. i decided to take the pieces and photograph them outside on a mirror. this was done with the macro function on my camera, because these are some seriously tiny pieces. i would love to find more lighters that produce music, it's a fascinating concept.
