You don’t need to be Bill Gates to figure out what the gimmick was. Consisting of 7 burger patties, with a cost of 777 yen, this big-in-japan burger was only available for the past 7 days. I guess if you take Microsoft’s famously bad advertising taste with Burger King’s amazingly bad culinary taste, add Kanji and liberal use of the Photoshop clone tool… then this is what you get. I am sure that it would be impossible for even the best food photographer to get a seven-high patty burger to stay still long enough to get a perfect shot like that.

Music Festival at the Gorge Amphitheater in Quincy, Wa. I also bought a brand new Nikon Coolpix P80 camera that helped me capture some amazing closeups of my favorite bands like R.E.M., Modest Mouse, The Cure, and The Flaming Lips. I was so excited about finally having a good digital camera that I think I took about a hundred photographs over the three-day-weekend.

Since then I haven’t had the time or the force-of-will to sort through each photograph one by one until I downloaded Google’s Picasa photo album app. At first I wasn’t sure how useful it would be… Wow! It really surprised me! Flicking through hundreds of photos is a snap, deleting them is easy, and I can even make simple edits from within Picasa. Take a look at this shot of Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips on the final night of Sasquatch! 2008.

It’s pretty neat, check it out:
