"We've had machine problems," Bartlett said. "We've never had one of this magnitude. We've never had an election where a machine malfunction caused a new election."

I didn't have time to post this until now... I recently got a lot older.

Yuri's amazing pictures of Millenium Park in Chicago have prompted me to begin posting more photos. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of space so I'm going to post small pictures... here's a few cool ones from my last week:

Blur Shots

I've been taking a lot of shots in moving vehicles at night... by taking a shot and moving the camera at the same time, you get some interesting shots.

This is a composite of two images taken very close in time...

A tracking blur shot, where I try to track an object while the bus I'm in is moving.

This one was cool... long shutter time with a smooth twist of the wrist.

Moving Christmas lights.

Berkeley Shots

This is a forrest of Diebold AccuVote-TS results tapes printed out after election day at the YWCA near UC Berkeley... and two children looking through the glass at me.
