Caturday!
Well, while we’re talking about time lapses, here’s one of Pandora lazing around her scratching rug, recorded with my SD1000′s time lapse video feature — a frame taken every two seconds over a span of about 15 minutes.

Artomatic (4-8)
Continuing Artomatic from where we left off two weekends ago, Amy and I did the rest of what we hadn’t yet visited, starting on the eighth floor and working our way down to the fourth. As before, a massive dump of links to artists whose work caught my attention such that I had to get [...]
