And the results are...

It was a cool dark night in the city of College Place. A new moon gave an opportunity for the faintest of stars to shine through the veil of night. The air still held the heat of the day, a warm dry taste. And I come back from a walk with several good images to edit and upload.

The strong orange glow from the sodium vapor street lights gave the images a very dated look. However it was fun, shooting at ISO 3200 with my 50mm f/1.2 lens. All hand held.

Impulse...

For the last couple hours I have been catching up on the blogs I follow, looking at images that have been posted and the like. I guess in a word I have been inspired to be impulsive. Well the last straw that broke this camels back was Diana asking me if I want to go for a walk. Its 2330 at night... but sure... as long as I get to bring out the camera. Lets see what images I can make. Be back in an hour or so....

Wally World...

Being back in the land of the sweet onion seems to have put me into a bit of a time warp. It seems that the spirit of the place keeps things from moving very fast. Its like living in a vat of molasses. While sweet as all get, you never seem to get very far.

I cant say that I have been completely unproductive. But on the other hand I must confess to not being the most productive. If good intentions were pennies I'd be the richest man alive. But I guess I am just going to have to bite the bullet and be more productive. On the plus side of the matter I have made contact with several old friends. And maybe made a few new ones as well. So the wading continues and sooner or later I will reach the edge of this sticky mess and be able to move at a faster pace.
