Camera Toss

I think the name gives you an idea of how these photos were made. 

I promise that these photos were created in the camera.  Photoshop was not used to create any part of the images (though I did use Photoshop to adjust the levels on all photos, resize all photos and crop a couple of them.

Out of my first experiment with camera tossing, I kept seven.  All seven can be seen in a Flickr set.  (Tangential note:  Just to impress upon you the power of the Internets, within five minutes of my posting these photos to Flickr, someone had already commented on one of them.)

Some camera toss photos can be quite amazing.For many examples, see the Camera Toss Flickr Stream.

It Made My Day

It's not often that you get a telemarketing call and get that "It Made My Day" feeling.

However, I just had the following phone conversation (at 10:30 on a Sunday morning): 

Me: Hello? 

Ricky:  Hello, may I speak to Mr. Green? 

Me:  And who is calling? 

Ricky:  This is Ricky, I am calling from Dish (blah-blah-blah), and I am calling to offer you satellite service.  Did you know that you can get over 200 channels with our service? 

Me:  Really?  And did you know that you just called a number that is listed with the National "Do Not Call" Registry for marketing calls? 

Ricky (seriously):  Oooh, no!  I did not know that! 

Me:  So would you like me to report you, or would you like to hang up now? 

Ricky (sounding very sincere):  I think I'd better hang up now!
