Flex those lights!

Well it hasn't been much of a vacation.....Food was odd, people were strange. More apt to bunk you on the head with something and steal your book then say hi. Rooms were fair. Transportation has a lot to be desired. Over all I think its time to fire my travel agent. Crossing then uncrossing my arms I can feel the weight on the pocket watches in my coat, vest, jacket thing. Hope the cleaners can get the grass and mud stains out of the seat of these pants. Fumbling about and puling the thicker watch out but its chain it starts to pendulum. Catches the sporadic sunlight and brings up from the depth the idea of hypnotism. Could that be what all this is? A bad hypnotist has squirreled my brain? Hard to believe that with all the generic grass around. I do believe I need a cup of tea..... Damn! Where is that waiter when you need him!



The day that most people stop working about half way through found me putting three different accounts into one system account. Yes. i was tracking equipment through a master list given by a delightfully helpful person in HQ. That allowed me to check what stuff I wanted to remove last year and what I had now to remove. Half or more of the standing account can be removed. Which is nice. This time I am going to request in smaller sections. Hopefully that will get it done sooner. Tuesday will be that business. On that note we are restricted again due to I have no clue. Have to request and wait for approval on most everything. If that's the new procedure, that is what I will do. Sure crimps my need to get things out of the way but its not just me its affecting. I have my fingers crossed it clear soon.

The weather turned sucky all at once. Since I had to clear out a little early I decided to drive over to the west side via Central. It was very cloudy and verga was all over the place. I pulled my camera out to see what might be snappable when I was at a stop. Some interesting things but mostly it was to overcast to get much of anything good. What I did get I will try and clean up tonight. What I though were favs are below. Untouched at this time. Perhaps you can see why I liked each... maybe.


Positively bright in the dark.


Trying to get out of town every day.


micro graffiti.


Taking it to the cleaners.


Each shot of these four ( not all by far ) have something I found very interesting. None were taken while I was driving. All were at a stop. From here I can try and edit what I have or use these to return to those places and get a cleaner or slightly different angle of shot. The last one for sure I want a neon glow shot.

Some links. In a little hurry tonight as the Rio Grande Classic Balloon Rally Registration is tonight followed by three days of flying if possible.

Time capsules and photographs. cool...

Too bad I have plans already. This would be great for some slow shutter shots.

Sweet.. I need a bunch of these.. Cool to put these on the floor or grass just below your subject and make it look like the sun is below them.
