Testing the waters of the DSLR world

So its been a long while! Yes, my new job is keeping me way too busy. Not that anyone is reading this. Blogger's counter says that basically, almost no one has come to read my blog since I last checked, yet the counter on the front page of my blog shows 500+ more people than Blogger's counter?? Weird! Anyway, with my constant search for new creative endeavors, it has resulted in producing some photography attempts. I was always into photography, but had not yet jumped into the DSLR area. Well now I have, and have quickly outgrown the camera I bought last summer. Although, there is still much to learn of course! I've been meeting some great new people, & I must say the photography community has been really welcoming and supportive! Here are some pics from some photo shoots I've attended with the SoCal Photo club.

And to those that came by, thanks for making it to the opening, we all had a great time, and the gallery was bursting with activity, it was great!

My Bloody Valentine Group Art Show

I am honored to be a part of this upcoming
Art Show in February '09
at the fabulous Halloween Town's Gallery-"The Parlour"!


Go to The Parlour Myspace site or go to
The Parlour at Halloween Town for more info!

Ahhh, yes.. The Bush Legacy Bus. They have just revived the bus tour and added a new "leg"
of the tour through Iraq inspired by the most recent addition to his historic legacy!

What more can I say?

Hmm, $30 million is not too much for executive compensation, but the lower middle class auto workers need to take a pay cut to compete with Non-Union workers working for foreign car companies like Toyota in the Southern states...Kashkari-logic

My Latest photoshop charicature!

Henry Paulson-AKA The Joker, holds Gotham City hostage. "Pay up or face dire consequences!" he says!#6.
I was totally inspired to create this Photoshop charicature after seeing The Dark Night, the parallels are uncanny. But we don't have The Batman to save us, we have W. So folks, as Gerald Celante said, this is a bloodless coup d'etat. Its a DC Heist by Wall Street Gangs. Not sure what us regular folks will be left with other than a lifetime of debt to pay for others mansions in Dubai.

So, if anyone is actually visiting this site...he, he...
Please note there is a new blogger site called Red Eye Art!
It is to be a collection of artists ( many work in animation) that have decided enough is enough! Time to put our stuff in our own book!
YAY! Please go visit often and check it out as the artists
start posting images and notes about themselves.
Hope you enjoy! The above logo for Red Eye site is ⓒ Ben Lane's.

Can you feel it?
Its getting cooler at night. Sunset is earlier and earlier.
Halloween shops popping up all over!
Yes! Its that time. The image of the abbey is a composite of photos and images composited in photoshop for a class I took last year. Been waiting for the right time of year to post it!
