This blog is a lifestream. It's an aggregation of all my life as I move around in the world. Mostly it is mobile pictures taken from my mobile phone, but occasionally you'll see videos and other things I find around the net. If you want to see *everything* I make/write/create, check out my FriendFeed.com/evantravers. If you tire of this random excursion into my shoes my serious blog can be found here.

They Only Get Cuter: 

It’s true! Kitten + 50mm 1.4 = Win.
The trick to getting really wistful looks out of cats is to be at their eye level, but just slightly above. Eye level brings good expression/interaction, slightly above makes them feel small, helpless.
I had lost the quick release plate for my tripod… and just received the replacement I bought from B&H. Hopefully I’ll get out shooting more.View On Black

The Boy in the Barn: 

Just a little friend walking around a barn we were having a bluegrass jam session in. It was also pouring rain… so it was rather hard to hear.View On Black

Highlight Reel: 

Have I ever mentioned how much it rocks to have a long row of large windows? Consider now your first warning.
I need to get out and shoot tomorrow… I think I’ll use the ever popular and available kittens. (I think we have 16 right now!)View On Black

Crackling Character: 

Look closer. That’s what I keep telling myself. I started out taking a full wide shot of this door, but as I framed tighter and tighter, I found the real photo later.View On Black (look closer!)

Things Are Looking Up: 

I love the clarity of the flower… the Sigma 50mm F/1.4’s sharpness… it’s fantastic.
Sorry for the late post… today I ran in a mile long race, then I played CQB killhouse-style paintball for four hours. I am very tired.View On Black
