Lara.

Posted by ligneus1 on Mar 15th, 2009 in Lig Pics, Uncategorized | 2 comments Took this one today of Lara in low light hence the slight movement [slow shutter speed] and the grain [high ISO] but things like that don’t necessarily matter, I kinda like it. It was mostly the light from the computer monitor actually. And that’s the full frame by the way, it hasn’t been cropped. Cropping is a useful tool but should be used with care. Henri Cartier Bresson, the dean of photojournalism, said he never cropped a photo. It does make you more aware of your framing while taking the pics. Sphere: Related...

In Passing.

Posted by ligneus1 on Feb 6th, 2009 in Lig Pics, Obama-debacle | 1 comment A few quick things. Robert P Murphy at Ludwig von Mises Institute writes, “Do You Austrians Have a Better Idea?” It’s the question asked by supporters of the giant bailout in reply to their criticism of same. He has a marvelous analogy for the bailout: Now, in truth, someone doesn’t have to have a better suggestion in order to point out that a recommended strategy will exacerbate the situation. If an allergic man has been stung by a bee, I don’t know what to do except rush him to the hospital and maybe scour the cupboards looking for Benadryl. But I’m pretty sure...

It’s Been a While…….

Posted by ligneus1 on Dec 23rd, 2008 in Lig Pics | 2 comments ….. since I posted, among the reasons of course is my non stop life, which I do enjoy, I’m not complaining except too many things I would like to do get left by the wayside. Another reason can be found in this postover at Schmaltz und Grieben. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: In what PC-addled public school did Americans begin to be taught that when bad things happen, no one is ever to blame? D’jever notice that we’re not supposed to blame anyone for the current Great Depression? Or how about, “IT’S THE FAULT OF ALL OF...

Surfacing…..

Posted by ligneus1 on Nov 18th, 2008 in Lig Pics, Obama-debacle, Uncategorized | 6 comments Like Zee in her post below, I have been somewhat mortified that the good old US of A could elect a beginner for President in these complicated times, but there you go, what’s done is done, we have to wait and see how badly the neophyte screws up before being thrown out in 2012. [You'd think I'd be a little circumspect in my predictions, well in the words of the prophet, No Way!] He’s made a good start on the screwing up if reports of Hill as Sec of State and Eric Holder of Marc Rich pardon fame as Attorney General turn out to be true. Goes right along with Wright, Ayers, Rezko and co. The...

This and That.

Posted by ligneus1 on Oct 19th, 2008 in Lig Pics | 1 comment Well, first the good news. [Hmm, come to think of it I only have good news!] The Zogby rolling poll shows Obama at 48% and McCain a 45%. So it could be better but the way the MSM are spinning the campaign and from the rhetoric coming from the the Obamacides you’d think he was home and dry and picking out the drapes for the White House. Obama leads McCain by 48 to 45 percent among likely U.S. voters, down 1 percentage point from Saturday. The four-day tracking poll, which has a margin of error of 2.9 points. Pollster John Zogby said the numbers were good news for McCain, and probably reflected a...

Posted by ligneus1 on Sep 18th, 2008 in Lig Pics, Sarah Palin | 4 comments Zee, re your comment on my last Lig Pic: These young ladies will be the Sara Palins of our future. Able to wield hammers and wit with equal facility because of their granddaddy!! Funny you should say that: A little known fact on Sarah: And from Standpoint Online, How Sarah Got Drafted. When John McCain invited Sarah Palin to join his cause, he blindsided the press. But a campaign for her to be called to serve her country had been building its case for months. The McCain camp was surely aware of Task Force Palin, the motley alliance of blogs and websites who spotted Palin’s potential and then...

More From the Religion of Peace That Isn’t

Posted by zee on Sep 13th, 2008 in Islamofascists, Lig Pics, PC Pimps/Media, Parent Rights, Uncategorized | 0 comments A 26-YEAR-old Jordanian man was charged with murder today after his 23-year-old sister was shot dead in an apparent “honour” killing. The unnamed suspect allegedly shot his sister six times last night in the Nqeira area south of the capital Amman, a security official said. “He turned himself in and confessed to murdering his sister to cleanse his family’s honour because she disappeared from home for four months with a man,” the official said. “He killed her the moment she returned home last night. But forensic tests showed that the girl was a virgin.” It was...
