Mr. de Eselaar

How does one continue with the SLR photography habit in the age of fantastic mobile cameras?

By personification of the gadget like a family member or a pet.

As his parent, it's my responsibility to feed him regularly, and take him for walks. Else, I can sense that he endures starvation silently, sadly locked away in a claustrophobic camera bag, left to dry alone (due to silica gel). 

He lives with us, sipping on battery juice and loves to travels with us. He has a ravenous appetite for viewing beautiful scenes, landscapes, flora, fauna and of course loves watching people. He needs to be carried around to nooks and corners and held in awkward poses for his regular exercise. And when he is well fed and moved around, he produces lovely photographs in return. 


Hydrogen Peroxide

Its so similar to water, but its anything but. 

The first time most people hear about such a compound is when their ear wax hardens.

You can actually hear H2O2 'wax lyrical' inside your ear!
