…is the one you have with you.
Let’s face it. It’s impractical to carry around a DSLR all the time. I give props to those that do. And I know there are some of you out there. I rarely have my DSLR readily available, but today’s weather was too cool to NOT take pics.
So I broke out the iPhone 4. 
Fun little fact: Jupiter is the closest (to Earth) it’ll be until 2022. Actually, it has already started moving away. It was closest on the 20th, but it should still be visible with the naked eye for the rest of September (I think). But don’t quote me on that and wait until the last minute. If you get a chance, step outside tonight and Jupiter will be the second brightest (the brightest being the moon) thing you see. If you use a telescope, you may be able to see a faint red-orange color/stripe, characteristic of Jupiter, and its 4 moons.
Anyway, Jupiter was still too small to take a picture of, even with a telescope, so I tried taking a shot of the moon. Nothing spectacular, but here it is.

hi-res here
My new roommate, Nick, asked me to teach him about off camera lighting so we pulled out my gear and snapped a few frames of his girlfriend, Naomi. I don’t have all of my gear with me, so a big thanks goes out to Adot for letting me borrow his octabox on such short notice.

I went to deactivate my Facebook account a few days ago and it wouldn’t let me because I was the only Admin of the PhotosByCalvin fan page that I completely forgot about. Anyway, I made my new roommate, Nick, an Admin so that I could deactivate my account this week. But before I do that, I made this Like badge for the blog…so LIKE PhotosByCalvin on Facebook, people!! 
I had the pleasure of visiting my new baby ‘cuz the day after he was born!
If he ends up looking anything like me when he grows up, he’ll be just fine.
