'ghetto' macro

It's a bit finicky, but you can take macro shots by removing your lens, reversing it, and holding it against the body of your camera. Not quite the same as owning a macro lens, but it works...mostly. They make reversing rings so that you can actually attach your lens to the camera that way; I was trying to hunt one down last night though I didn't (at the time) know what they were called and EvilMonkey suggested I look up 'ghetto macro'....*rolls eyes*

Here are a couple taken that way:
(the last one is a regular shot of my macro subjects :) )

Which Way?

When both directions seem to lead to the same end, how do you know which path to take?

oops

I broke my bike.

Well, a piece of it. It was bound to happen eventually - they were 3rd hand forks after all. I don't know what the boys did to them before I got them, but I suspect they weren't gentle. Had to put my stock forks back on which means I've regressed to riding a completely RIGID mountain bike. I guess that's not so bad considering that I have hardly been out on it at all in the past few years and when I have it has been on the road...but still...rigid?! Ouch.

Poor, poor, ollllllld, Marzocchi XC 500s :(

*peers around the corner...*

...is it there? here? Where has my positive happy self gone? I lost it somewhere along the way...

I miss it and would like it back. If you find it please send it my way.
