There’a a guest choreographer, Shawn Stevens, working with the students at Friends University this week, and I hope to get out there to snap a few pictures each day. ((By “a few,” I mean about 200 or so. Digital “film” is dangerously cheap. I shot 250 frames in a little more than a half-hour this afternoon.))

It’s past time to mow the lawn, but I’m not complaining

This month’s token cute kid picture: the ring-bear bearer.
Still more pictures
I’ve uploaded several galleries of my old pictures to the new server:
Dance photography
Costume Con 2007
SCA costuming
Pennsic War XXVII
Music photography
Some of these pages go back ten years, so the formatting is primitive and the pictures are sized for 14.4k dial-up connections.
I also uploaded The True History of the Dumbek for those who enjoy mathematical horror stories.
More pictures
I recently looked at various picture gallery plugins for WordPress. None of them were satisfactory. Therefore, I’ve established a gallery independent of my weblogs. The software I’m using, by a curious coincidence, is Gallery. Thus far, it works pretty well; I haven’t yet yelled at the computer. I’ve uploaded a selection of this year’s Winfield pictures for starters. There will be albums of dance and botanical pictures in the near future, and other kinds of subjects as well.
Update: I’ve added a selection of my old black-and-white SCA pictures.

There’s something odd about those trees.

Bonus picture
More HDR fun at Botanica. Just two exposures this time, but there are both clouds in the sky and detail in the shadows.

I don’t know what this is, either. I would guess from the inflorescence that it’s in the Euphorbia family.

I’ve never been able to positively identify this. It’s either an aster or a close relative (my best guess would be a species of Senecio), but there’s nothing quite like it mentioned in any of my books on Kansas wildflowers. This is surprising, because it’s quite common around here. Normally the plants grow two or three feet tall, but if they are in a spot that periodically gets mown, they’ll form a mat an inch or two high, such as the plant pictured.
