Nip and tuck

30Sep08

I made some minor cosmetic changes to the site tonight. I added a border/background to the sidebar and adjusted some of the color properties in my stylesheet to try and unify the scheme of the site a bit. An ongoing process, to be sure.

UPDATE: I also went ahead and upgraded my Wordpress installation [...]

Welcome to Salzburg

21Sep08

Here’s a view of the city of Salzburg, Austria from the fortress Hohensalzburg over the river Salzach. It is one of the oldest castles in Europe!

My only regret for this shot is that I didn’t think to do an HDR. In reality it was the wrong time of day anyway, and I’m lucky [...]

Don’t leave home without them.

When flying off into combat in the cold, dark universe of New Eden, never - EVER - leave station without exotic dancers in your cargo hold.

Look up. No, not where you are. Where I am. Right here, on this blog. That’s it, to the top. See it? Ah, yes, there we go.

No Way Out

Another image from my visit to the Mauthausen concentration camp, outside of Linz, Austria.

Hello, My Name is Michael

12Sep08

Hello, my name is Michael. I play the clarinet. I make photographs. I am not trying to create some kind of oeuvre that will change your life, or build a magical consensus on our humble planet (this Pale Blue Dot). I couldn’t even if I wanted to.

I don’t have a style [...]

I’m afraid I don’t have a better photo to commemorate 9/11. That’s because, firstly, I am not a great photographer, and secondly, because I have not sought to take that photo (yet). In fact, if you’re reading this at all it means I somehow managed to upload this photo before emotions and the [...]

I now Tweet

09Sep08

That’s right, ladies and gents, I’ve joined Twitter. You can follow me at twitter.com/michaelbshane. I also added a Twitter widget to the sidebar (that way –>), the reliability of which has yet to be determined. So, if you follow me here, follow me there!

The Tracks at Mauthausen

06Sep08

These train tracks, which now service commuters, are about 5 kilometers from the site of the Mauthausen concentration camp, outside of Linz, Austria.

They served a much more nefarious purpose 55 years ago. I recommend heading over to Flickr to view a larger version of this shot. More shots from my visit to the [...]
