Goodbye, fair tumblr!

We’ve had a short, but good time together.  I don’t regret any postings, pictures, or videos you’ve so effortlessly helpped me put online - I truely am thankful.  But change I must, the home of my blog.  Pictures/images/photos, whatever you call them; they must have the ability to be seen BIG - and tumblr just isn’t doing that for me.  Also, with blogger, I can upload MULTIPLE images at once, and this is also beneficial to my “work flow” (as if it is really work and not just a goofy blog site where I try to show the world that I’m not that boring).

So, without futher ado, I give to you: www.DannyBlanchard.blogspot.com

It is easy to remember, and I suggest you all bookmark it and throw away the ol’ tumblr link - as I will be doing the same.


Cheers, and happy New President Day!


Danny

Pinhole Conversion of a standard Nikon Body Cap - Back view.  I used .005in brass shimstock (Hardwick’s Hardware, $2.50), a standard sewing needle, a dremel tool, drill bit, tinsnips, and some gaff tape to do this here project.  I think it turned out pretty good for a first try!  I made 3 other versions (different pinhole sizes), and this one is the sharpest of all (which isn’t too sharp, but you can make out figures, license plates, etc.

I’m aching, and editing, and not doing calculus - but I’ve got to get these out the door.  Ungh.
