Ben and Katie sent me this shot of an inflated dinosaur that mysteriously appeared in the lobby of their apartment in San Francisco. It almost looks like a huge stuffed animal. Excellent!

Ever wonder what a Sith Lord does to chillax and unwind after a long day of terrorizing minions and destroying planets? Now you know. Taken in natural light (under a white sheet) with a Canon PowerShot SD750 on the house-rocking macro setting. Thought of this setup last night at midnight!

When Hudson’s mom and I talked to Hudson about Darth Vader we explained that [...]

sometimes the random pictures take themselves.  I was taking a walk and saw this arm, evidently left behind when He-Man conquered Thor in an epic arm-wrestling battle.
