This macro lens is making me realize what a hideously scary environment I live in.
I should probably be glad I don’t read scifi. With stuff like that lurking around on a daily basis, I couldn’t take the additional stimulation!
UPDATE: The above pictures might get me into trouble:
‘Whoever makes a picture will be punished by Allah till he puts life in it, and he will never be able to put life in it.’
—Hadith – Bukhari 3:428, Narrated Said bin Abu Al-Hasan
Yes, but who made the picture? The subject of the photograph? The camera which transformed the rays of light into a photographic image which we call a “picture”? The Internet which allowed it to be displayed? Or the guy whose only act was to press the button on the camera, and exercise an editorial opinion over the image over which he had so little control?
UPDATE: Can’t resist another fantasy morsel:

I’m also doomed. Aside from my art (can fantasy creatures be said to have souls?) I’ve been spending the last week editing a slideshow of my niece’s graduation… horrors…
