I guess I’m addicted. My desk is a veritable stonehenge of sorts. If only the rest of my life was as balanced.
I’m borrowing a friend’s camera… but I think I need to stop building and start reading the manual. I spent more time trying to photograph the little rock piles than [...]
Christian posted a really neat link to a guy who balances rocks. I had to give it a try. Here’s my first effort.
