Who put those lights away last year? OK, I did but I thought I balled them up neatly...
I used an SB-600, camera left - TTL with a -3.0 exp set to just skim his face. No reflector
This is Chuck ice skating on our driveway. Yes, we've had some ice-y weather...
I'm panning the camera and I do think you get a feeling of the action.
:10 Things: November 2007
#9. Went out to lunch today at Hunt's Oyster Bar in historic St. Andrews. I've never been to lunch there, but I have to say that it is just as good as dinner .. and just as packed!! Man, I love raw oysters and cold, draft beer!
Ah! The quilt.. keeps you alive during the night. You dont feel like coming out of this one in the morning....
Pristine East Beach. Watch Hill, Rhode Island. A brisk, refreshing New England walk before breakfast.

Bea was singing "all around the mulberry bush..."
A passerby stopped to say he couldn't figure out what I could be taking a picture of.
My husband Chuck, he's very good a tossing leaves into the air! Although rather an impatient model...
You know what? These last few days have been insightful.
I did remove myself away from everything only to find that I couldn't.
And it only started with an arguement with my Ex.
It seems an almost everyday occurence now. And almost all of the subjects concerned involve 'me not going out'.
My Ex is a proper party gal. You wouldn't think she was one if you saw her. But this was a woman who has moshed with Sabbath, gyrated with the B52s and pondered with Joni when I was still running around catching chickens in my knickers. And at 47, she still rocks pretty hard at the local biker bar, gets very inebriated and flirts with every cop in that bar. Heck, she goes through 2-3 sticks of Collection 2000 Red Red lipstick a week.
Yes, you heard me, a week. Without it, she feels totally plain. Its her PowerRing.
And week after week, she yells at me for staying at home. I used to say that I could not go out because I considered myself ugly and didn't want anyone to see me. Don't get me wrong, I still feel the same, and perhaps I will never see any differently but the point is, that should not distract me from having any sort of fun.
In fact, I do. Contained in this very nice Victorian apartment, I have everything I need. I have all the books and music, not to mention toys I'll ever want. I have enough books to funish a small library and many interplanetary wars are fought in the the confines of my kitchen.
Truth be told, left to my own devices, I am quite content.
No, scratch that. I am quite happy.
I am actually tired of trying dear moonbeams. I tried asking another girl out the other day and after she said no, I went and got a small bag of 'milk mice' and sat down to some Christmas music pondering how I was going to get over the residual embarrasment. I figured, I must have asked many, many girls by now and perhaps I am really 'past it'.
My Ex thinks I try too hard. I think I don't. I have been told quite a few times that I should 'let nature take its course' and eventually something happens. But the thing is, I am not a 'natural' being. I am something created. I am something made. Quite badly made at that. And once you discover that, no amount of positive reinforcement will do anything.
Best thing is to just accept it. After all, I could always hit the 'reset' button, go back home and live the life of luxury my clan provides. But I can't and won't. Those bridges were burned a long time ago.
So what now then? Best that I can figure out is just to carry on. Maintain the status quo. I should be thankful that I do enjoy the things I do. I have job which allows me a certain level of spare time with I can indulge my fantasies. I don't have any work colleagues I let into my life and as such there is never a conflict of worlds.
And I will never ask anyone out again. I shouldn't have in the first place. The first of the '10Things' should have reminded me that.
So where does that leave me with Flickr? Well, I like taking photographs. And I do like to write. Even if its depressing ones about MutantGirls and UglyChildren. And even if nobody reads this or sees the pictures, at least I will have a reminder of how I felt at specific times in my life. The thing I do feel really sad about is that nobody outside this apartment will ever know what a nice person I actually am. I would even go so far as to say that I am actually funny.
After all, the computer that allows me the access to the world is but a tiny machine sitting in a small alcove which is flanked by some of the greatest stories ever told.
And I think its time I did some reading.

#2. Giving special treats
Rocco is happy to tell you that the Eatontown White Castle has re-opened. He likes his sliders with no onions, no pickle. He will eat the burger nicely from your hand.
Monmouth County, New Jersey USA
I was presented with this at the school gates by my 4 year old yesterday afternoon, grassman is hillarious!!! :10things
I've always been drawn to sheer cliff vistas and being 'above the clouds'. I'm always trying to capture that breathtaking feeling to looking out into the wide open void, or the incongruence of seeing nothing past the foreground world.
Who doesn't love cupcakes? I especially like the 7th Heaven cupcake from JaCiva's Bakery in Portland Oregon

#5: French Onion Soup- one of my favorite foods. It's rich, and cheesy, and salty. And so hard to find in Panama City, FL (go figure). I had it three times on my trip to the Pacific Northwest :)
