Charles Leung on vimeo.com posted this amazing video from an observatory in Hawaii. I am in awe of the night scenes.

I might not post them every day, but I will try. There is a link to the right of this post that links to 365.angrygardner.com Please let me know what you think about [...]

You Should’ve Been Sick

Angry Gardner — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 03:12:09 +0000

You know who you are.

Saturday was the photowalkingutah.com studio lighting event, well more like extravaganza. I’d like to say I was in control and knew exactly what I was doing. Unfortunately, I have to say that I was fairly clueless and completely terrified. The first station was the lensbaby my hands were shaking so bad that @nicolesy had to help me change my lens out. It got a little [...]

One Thing’s For Sure

@nicoleys I ain’t One of the local photographers that I follow is Nicole Young. She is an amazing talent, and she is very willing to share her knowledge. If you are not blog stalking (link) her you are making a critical mistake. Lately, she has been doing food photographs with tips and methods to make better looking food pictures. So here is what I have picked up so far. Remember any problems are the [...]

Socialphob

Angry Gardner — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 10:04:45 +0000

Living life as a social “outcast” is tough. I know many of you find it hard to believe that I struggle around people. Just think back to some of your VERY first impressions of me and you should realize how easily I say just the “right” thing at just the right time. I am in constant fear of meeting new people and pissing them off for no reason other than I am who I am.

That [...]

One device to rule them all and bind them in the BlackBerryness. There is now an app for Wordpress that runs natively on most smartphones. WOOT!!

Funniest Thing I’ve Seen…

This month

Mr. Mom

Angry Gardner — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:48:48 +0000

220, 221. Whatever it takes.

My wife went to her Dad’s retirement party for the weekend so I was left home with the kids. It was a lot of fun, but it was a big “weekend”. Here are the highlights.

I slept in on Thurs. I figured I deserved one. We did the airport run around noon and after that it was just me and the kids. We went Scaddys for [...]

Roasted Garlic

Angry Gardner — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 22:45:26 +0000

For what it is worth I loved Roasted Garlic long before it became en-vogue. The Italians actually use this as a toast topping (called a crostini) I have to admit that I love it on a thin slice of a hard chewy bread with a drizzle of Balsamic vinegar. The recipe is really easy and the payout is huge. Try it sometime. 25mm f/5 1/800s

2 heads of garlic cut so the ends are exposed (for a [...]

Why Angry??

Angry Gardner — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 21:01:07 +0000

I add a new “about me” page. It is lame I know but I have been wanting to have one for a while. You can find it in the bar right above the calendar labeled “Why Angry??”

Loaded Baked Potato Pizza

Angry Gardner — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 03:14:34 +0000

86mm f/4.2 1/100s I saw the idea on a Food Network challenge last week, but this is my take on the whole thought. I was lazy, but it works. I bought a pre-made pizza crust from Win-Co (a store which I love) 12in diameter and very thick. For the sauce: 1 cup sour cream 1/4 cup whole milk 1 1/4 tbls garlic powder 2 tbls parsley 1 Tbls ground pepper (fresh ground of course) Salt to taste (remember that the potatoes are not salted [...]

Time

Angry Gardner — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 04:54:05 +0000

From the GREATEST Album ever this has been my theme song for a couple of years now.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull dayYou fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home townWaiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.You are young and life is long and there is time [...]
