Laugh Riot: There can be no question that the NRA certainly understands how the rest of the country sees its members…

Oi: Jan Brewer has ties with the folks who provide private prison services. And, who cares about a bunch of illegals that don’t speak enough English to navigate the bureaucracy? They’re breaking the law damnit! (Right?)

This image is from Nat geo’s Animals in the womb series. A combination of digital photography, scans, and computer generated models. I don’t care how they did it, it’s fargin’ cool!

Humor: 27b/6
Random: Artist Builds Backyard Survival Shelter
Interesting: Renters at 23 apartment complexes in Albuquerque must sign agreements by today to not grow or use medical marijuana where they live or face eviction.

For those interested, I am using Alex Rabe’s Nextgen-Gallery. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it’s not bad at all. A great tutorial can be found here. The software also works with Cooliris, something I haven’t yet played much with, so the jury is still out on if it is really as “cool” as they claim.

Anyhow, hope you all enjoy the new functionality and photos. As always, please do not reuse or reproduce without permission or credit! All photography is ©Amy M. Ditto & Aperture Laboratories. All rights reserved, unless otherwise noted. Thanks!

On June 2,3, & 4, the San Felipe de Neri Parish celebrated its 304th fiesta. Yes, that’s three-hundred and four. Stefan and I actually stumbled upon it, having intended to go do some practice portraiture in Old Town. The music was playing, folks were dancing, and to my surprise, people were relatively unphased by the two of us walking around taking pictures with less-than-discrete equipment. What wonderful people, and what a wonderful day in the square.
