A little bit about this blog...

...in case you were wondering.  The title Novi Coeptus means "new undertakings" or "new beginnings."  I'm already hearing noises about the tense/form/word "coeptus" being wrong. Whatever. For now I'm running with what I've got.

There was a time when I played one of these.
Heavy metal.  Good times.







                                                                           

                            



                                                           Now I play one of these...

                 ...but not like this guy.

                                                          
                                                       
                                                         I spent a long time selling things like this...

 ...and this...

                   
                                                                      ...and these...




                                  
                   ...but now I don't.



                                           
 
I'd like to take pictures of very small people,
like the one of this guy. (Is he doing "The Claw?")
                                     
Or capture images of hearts, thyroids, brains, and other inside things.





                                           Oh, and I have two house cats who imitate art. Really.

If you observe your own little creatures, you'll observe life imitating art imitating cats, or dogs, or lizards.

Try it.
