We'll start with this blimp, often seen near my home. Not quite filmmaking theme, though you could certainly shoot some great shots from within that thing.

Now the theme begins. I've never used this cup, gotten at one of my high school winter formals. I decided that if I used it, it would have to interact with the dishwasher, which might destroy it.

Here's an Oscaresque award I earned (also in high school), this one for consistently doing a great behind-the-scenes job with operating the sound.

Got this cup somewhat recently... Notice the window behind it, as that is also in the next pic...

Same window, with a lovely spider!

Same window again, though this shot is through the binoculars (see here for the first time this was done.)

Outside in Pacifica. No more window!

View from the 101, probably in South San Francisco or San Bruno. Love that fog!

......

Dunno why, but I was transfixed by this electrical outlet, probably because of the light fixture above it.

......

I liked the lights, gimme a break! The red one was actually from my keychain; I wanted to try out complimentary colors, which can fascinate a filmmaker, as can soft shadows.

......

Special effects done directly in camera also are fascinating to the filmmaker. Here, many shots were taken while the camera was fast in motion, so any blurring was part of the original image. The middle shot incorporates lights and reflections only, with the rest of the room lights out.

This purple thumb of mine is real, and truly is related to filmmaking in that I "earned" it at my TV internship! I carried something that pinched it... It didn't exactly hurt, but it was numb for a day.

Here is a sink from the bathroom... I like the picture, but I can't make a stretch connection to the theme for it...
