Hecubus leaping at me. He kind of psycho in real life.
Me being attacked by Hecubus.
Mittens, our 6 toed cat being his regular curious self.
My beautiful wife all dressed up and ready for the picture to be taken. If only the rest of us could be ready too.
On June 5, 2012 the last transit of Venus in front of the Sun until 2117. I'm a bit of a astronomy nerd so I knew I could not miss this day. So, with a bunch of scrap wood, and extra hardware I built a Sun/Venus Transit Projector. The only thing that was new was the monocular I used to project the image. It worked perfectly.

This is what was projected on to the screen. The camera does not show the clarity of the sun/sunspots, and Venus. It was very cool.
This was a shot I took of the transit using the projector. I used a blue filter because it helped show up the planet Venus in front of the Sun better.

Modelmaking and Prototyping
Most of my modelmaking these days is for my own benefit. I always enjoy doing these things with my hands to keep myself active. Plus the end result is usually something kind of special.
