Pure Cirkus, Fremont Solstice Parade (10,000th photo!), originally uploaded by djwudi.

Okay, so it’s not the most interesting or artistic shot I’ve ever taken. However, there are two good (or at least good enough) reasons for me to toss this up…

1. I’m finally finished with the Fremont Solstice Parade photos! Since many of the photos are deemed moderately unsafe (naked bodypainted bike riders and such) and may not be visible by default, non-Flickr users can use this guest pass link to see the entire set.

2. This photo was my 10,000th photo uploaded to Flickr. Ten thousand photos (and more, now). Wow. Impressive and scary, all at the same time.

All without spilling her beer.

Not quite as cute when seen this close up, are they?

Saw this lil’ guy crawling around in the grass at school the other day and wanted to see what I could get. Shot with my 24mm f/2.8 Nikkor reverse-mounted with a reversing ring, somewhere around f/16 or so, 1/8th of a second, handheld, with the onboard popup flash. At full size, you can see the hairs on the ladybug’s legs!

So. Incredibly. Cool. Here’s some more shots.

Work commitments kept us from doing a full weekend jaunt, but Prairie and I went out to wander around the Folklife festival on Saturday afternoon and evening. Here’s the rest of my shots from the day.
