The whole thing.

Is it too rusted?

Closer view.

The wires coming out—Pink, Green, Grey, Red/Black, Blue/White.

The thing it connects too.

This thing's wires—Black/White, Black, White, Red. The black white may be the ground wire.

My moped’s electrical system. I put this together a couple of years ago, almost got the thing running, and then let it sit forever, and now I can’t figure it out. D’oh.

This is what I do when I’m supposed to be working on my moped. Its the Honda Hobbit wiring diagram except with colored wires and you can click on things and make the colored wires show or hide. Fun times!

Dear readers, I’m very excited to show you what I just got in my mail today. My very first photobook, HIGH STREET LOW STREET by Dayv Mattt. The book is HUGE and the quality of the print is amazing. Awesome job Dayv! Anyone who is interested into photography go see Dayv’s website and blog and ORDER a book, it is simply AWESOME!

About Dayv Mattt:

Dayv Mattt was born in Toronto on April 28, 1977. He is addicted to cursing, simple white dress shirts, and shooting street photography. Dayv is very handsome and currently lives in Seoul with his equally gorgeous wife. There is nothing poignant Dayv wants to say about this photography.

Oh Geordi…

Im not finding the link in the C Loop post so that i can do this myself. thanks.

Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:24:24 -0500

I’m not sure I understand your question. The post about the C Loop (I should call it a DC Loop!) is at http://derekcooke.tumblr.com/post/20987589363/so-i-really-wanted-a-c-loop-or-similar-strap. It is pretty easy, and you can tweek it how ever you like. As I wrote in the post,

All you need is about five bucks worth of stuff: metal and rubber washers, a 1/4” eye bolt and some kind of locking or spring loaded chain link or carabiner. Throw it all in the bottom of your camera and attach your favorite strap and thats it.

I hope that helps.

Around town: I try to always have my camera with me. Its gotten easier now that I have a backpack again, and a new pro camera lets me be more cavalier with my old D50.

So please enjoy these photos I took around town recently. More will be added on this blog as I shoot.

Well I’m happy. I finally did to my website what I have always wanted to do: I can now write each new page with only the few lines of opening html and php and it comes out looking exactly right, and identical, on every single page! This means that if I ever want to change the style or content of my pages I can do it without tracking down every page and manually copy and pasting the new html. All I have to change is the base document or the css style sheet! This means I can focus all my time on creating content for the site! Or just making tumblr posts about food.

Anyway,

Ho Yeah!

By the way that awesome desktop background I have is a John Dyer Baizley album cover, click his name there and check out his awesome art!

derekcookephotos — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:41:00 -0500

So I really wanted a c-loop or similar strap system for my cameras because having the strap connect loosely to the bottom of your camera is totally the best ever, especially when you have to lug around two bodies with big lenses all day!

I took a trip to the hardware store and voila! problem solved. All you need is about five bucks worth of stuff: metal and rubber washers, a 1/4” eye bolt and some kind of locking or spring loaded chain link or carabiner. Throw it all in the bottom of your camera and attach your favorite strap and thats it. One of my cameras has the original Nikon strap attached to the link and the other has an old guitar strap.

The only thing to watch for is that the bolt is short enough and you have enough washers so it has the tension to keep from unscrewing (thats why the rubber washers are important). And if the bolt is to long or you don’t have enough washers and you screw it in too far you can mess up your camera! If the bolt is way too long you can cut it down to size.

Why was Moebius involved in all of the best movies that never happened?

theairtightgarage:

Career Timeline: 1985 - Little Nemo in Slumberland

Moebius is approached by Tokyo Movie Shinsha to do concept design work and script revisions for their animated feature film based on Winsor McCay’s comic strip Little Nemo in Slumberland.

P.S. Hayao Miyazaki was heavily involved in production early on, even making a test film, but left citing difficulties years before Moebius came on board.
