A traditional shaving kit with soap-bowl and horse-hair brush. I used this for about a month but I didn't find the shaving to be much different than shaving creme. It does, however, take a bit more time to use so I've gone back to shaving creme in a can.

I went to a local restuarant for lunch and took this shot at my table while waiting for my sandwich. The place is called Stefano's.

OK so on the East coast we call these lollipops not suckers but Scorpion Sucker does sound better. I'm going to post an alternate as well but I think you have to admit the tension of having a scorpion facing you, even when encased in sugar, overrides any focus issues. This was in the goodie bags that the company gave out at the reception.

A pyramid of green marbles shot in a makeshift "studio" with dark background and side light (admittedly harsh). Silly putty (which you can see) was used to anchor the marbles.

This was really just an experiment to see how it would work. The S95 doesn't have great macro focusing unfortunately.

This is a macro shot of a visible light spectrum that was showing on the wall of my office this morning.

You really need to click through to see the shot of the suncatcher that made this spectrum.

My eye. I had hoped to get closer but my camera just can't focus closer and this is pretty heavily cropped as a result.
