I haven't done anything dangerous or involving fire lately so I decided to kill two birds with one stone.  This involves fire and danger.  But it looks cool, er hot.

Peel an apple, carve a face let it dry and this is what you get, a shrunken head.

Aliens or WhoVille?  Tara created this by mixing two kinds of soap together.  She put the lighter soap in first and then the heavier.  After a day or two, this is what you have.  Pretty cool methinks.

Its not every day that you come across a solar powered glow in the dark meerkat named Dough that wears glasses!!  It kind of reminds me of someone I know...

Fun with Glow Sticks.  When I saw that Woot.com had these at $3.00 for two dozen I couldn't pass it up.     :)

Photography is about capturing interesting light, but maybe I'm being too literal.

I really wanted to get this shot at 40 to 50 MPH but common sense prevailed.  This time.

Tonight Zackary and I went out to the west side to do an experiment.  We held up flourescent lights underneath the high power lines and the bulbs lit up!  Caution:  If you try this do not touch the ends of the tubes or you will get a nasty shock that could cause severe burns.  You've been warned.  Free electricity just floating around for the taking, how great is that?!  ;)  In this shot Zack is waving the tube back and forth.

More experiments with a sound activated trigger.  This was a water balloon only partially filled with water.  Full water balloons don't make very much noise when they pop.  ;)

I mounted my laser pointer and some mirrors to a piece of plywood to get this shot.  It was an experiment that didn't exactly turn out the way I hoped.

Want to know why CFLs are so expensive?  Take a look at what's inside of them.  Also, I'm sure the carbon footprint to manufacture the eight capacitors, six diodes, five resistors, two transistors, one inductor,and one transformer for every single CFL is not harming the environment.  Not to mention the etching process for the printed circuit board.  At least the solder is lead free.  ;)

Since I finally got my laser trigger working the way I want it to, I thought I would revisit doing water drop pics using the laser trigger.  This time instead of just triggering the flash, it is triggering the shutter on my camera and the camera is triggering two off camera flashes that are directed at the background.  After this I will try water drip collisions...  someday.

For some reason whenever I ask my kids for ideas for photos it always involves fire.  This was their idea.  Its great though because all those things I used to get in trouble for doing as a kid I can now do with impunity.

This is a shot of smoke just as it is leaving the flame of an oil lamp.  I thought it looked pretty cool.

Take a piece of black cardboard, cut out a circle the size of your lens, cut a small heart out of the middle of it, attach it to your lens, set a very wide aperature, take a blurry picture of an intersection when the light is red and viola, this is what you get.  The three bright red hearts are the stoplight, the yellow heart on the right is a streetlight, the blue heart is one of those funky halogen headlights, the bright white heart is a regular headlight and the remaining red hearts are taillights.
