I have a Nikon D70s that I primarily bought to document my artwork. However, the more I use it the more I find that I just like to take pictures.

I have also dabbled in animation a bit, and I’ve been trying to think of ways to satisfy that part of my psyche without having the time to devote to a full-on animated short. Here are two experiments with my camera, using it to do “live” stop-action. Basically I walked around with the shutter button pressed down and then imported the image sequence to Quicktime. I think there’s some potential for future use here:

Especially with this first one, I think it starts to look a bit like a Super-8 film with the jerky light metering and the jumpy camera.

Doesn’t the house (aka “HQ”) look haunted? It’s much cozier inside, but the outside can look a bit creepy. I did a drawing of it that should be in the site before long. And on the tree at the end– those plums are REALLY GOOD.
