As seen on Notcot.com: The Nomad Yurt by EcoShack. A very cool-looking tent that makes me actually want to go camping…but $8000! Yikes!

Wiz-bang!
I’m absolutely shocked by this. I signed up for an account on deviantart.com to display the wallpapers I made on Friday, and I’ve had a ton of people download them already. Wha?! The most popular one was this one with 42 downloads (as of the time I last checked). Insanity. Absolufreakinawesome!
Expansion
I’ve been busy on my afternoon off work and added a new section to the site: Downloads. So far I’ve got a bunch of wallpapers from photos I’ve taken. Feel free to download whatever tickles your fancy. Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions.

I’m not sure why I choose such weird things as test subjects…this creepy gnome and the giant plastic snowman I used at work. I’ve got some fun plans for the lighting setup running through my head. I’ll just have to wait until I make a new white background for it (only came with grey and blue? Weird.)…and of course until my battery is recharged.
