No wildlife today but maybe some this weekend, instead I snapped some photos of one of my MGS figurines and made a little collage thingy as I'm excited for the new MGS games that will be coming out this year.

Playing with a homemade snoot (a tube of cardboard) attached to my wireless flash with a rubber band, using it in conjunction with on camera flash... This is just the second time I've used my flash and so far it's been pretty painless.

While I'm certain that this photo is SFW, my photostream contains artistic nudity. (Granted, Flickr hides these photos containing 'moderate' and 'restricted' content if you do not have your filters set to show things rated other than 'safe,' or if you are not logged in, but I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up.)

I was surprised by the many cars speeding down around this corner given the icey conditions, many lost traction.
