I originally shot a photo of it in our department, and the colors looked muddied, so we waited for the thunderstorm to end and reshot it outside on the back loading dock. It’s not great, but better.<br/><br/> Finished size is about 41 inches per side.</p>http://solecist.net/post/709305743http://solecist.net/post/709305743Thu, 17 Jun 2010 17:16:49 -0500<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l44itiBhDA1qz8p58o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><b>Get thee hence!:</b> <p>As in, seriously, get out of my house, you’re taking up space and you need to go to your forever home!

Those are exactly as I envisioned here: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/domesticat/4569611593"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/domesticat/4569611593">www.flickr.com/photos/domesticat/4569611593</a></a> But that fourth color (regatta) bugs me.

I think it needs to be a shade or two darker.</p>http://solecist.net/post/701663747http://solecist.net/post/701663747Tue, 15 Jun 2010 13:24:30 -0500<p>Small photoset of @joshritter at @workplaybham this weekend: <a href="http://is.gd/cQ7Wo">http://is.gd/cQ7Wo</a> My favorite shot by far is <a href="http://is.gd/cQ81P">http://is.gd/cQ81P</a></p>http://solecist.net/post/701214463http://solecist.net/post/701214463Tue, 15 Jun 2010 10:27:00 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l41qx2ZT771qz8p58o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><b>DSC_9004</b></p>http://solecist.net/post/700335413http://solecist.net/post/700335413Tue, 15 Jun 2010 03:14:21 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l41qwpFj2Q1qz8p58o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><b>DSC_9020</b></p>http://solecist.net/post/700335016http://solecist.net/post/700335016Tue, 15 Jun 2010 03:14:21 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l41qxeR4wF1qz8p58o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><b>DSC_8969</b></p>http://solecist.net/post/700335806http://solecist.net/post/700335806Tue, 15 Jun 2010 03:14:21 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l41qwujeKd1qz8p58o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><b>DSC_9014</b></p>http://solecist.net/post/700335184http://solecist.net/post/700335184Tue, 15 Jun 2010 03:14:21 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l41qx8wVXV1qz8p58o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><b>DSC_8988</b></p>http://solecist.net/post/700335614http://solecist.net/post/700335614Tue, 15 Jun 2010 03:14:21 -0500<a href="http://www.last.fm/user/domesticat/charts?charttype=weekly&date_to=1276430400">My Top 5 Artists (Week Ending 2010-6-13)</a>: <ol> <li> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.last.fm/music/Laura+Marling">Laura Marling (9)</a> </li> <li> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.last.fm/music/Rob+Blackledge">Rob Blackledge (2)</a> </li> <li> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.last.fm/music/Kyle+Riabko">Kyle Riabko (2)</a> </li> <li> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.last.fm/music/David+Ryan+Harris">David Ryan Harris (2)</a> </li> <li> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.last.fm/music/Stephen+Kellogg">Stephen Kellogg (2)</a> </li> </ol> <p>Imported from <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://joelaz.com/post/23488847/last-fm-tumblr-weekly-top-artists">Last.fm Tumblr</a> by <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://joelaz.com">JoeLaz</a></p>http://solecist.net/post/699894898http://solecist.net/post/699894898Mon, 14 Jun 2010 23:59:14 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l41ciz3PA31qz8p58o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><b>Mine, mine, mine.
