There is only one day left, always starting over: it is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk...
The rusting remains of the bridge in the Erica - Thomson section of the former Moe to Walhalla narrow gauge line. There are plans to extend the tourist railway back towards Erica in the future. 20/12/15
Working on my PS skills. Brightened this one up a bit more. Also, instead of adding a b/w layer I reduced the lightness of the red saturation.
Born: one perfect baby, to Jiwon & Jason, TODAY at 3:28AM, May 9, 2008.
It's my daughter's birthday!
With baby scheduled for May 17, imagine our surprise when Jiwon started to go into labor just before midnight on May 7. We weren't quite ready, but labor progressed rapidly at home, and we had to head to the hospital at 4AM. From there it was 24 hours in birth room #2 at Kaiser Oakland. I'm way too tired to get into what it was like. But it was super-intense. And Jiwon's power & determination was...like nothing I've ever seen.
And now here she is, all 7 lbs. 7 oz. and 21.5 inches of her. With dark hair and almond eyes and I can hardly believe she's real.
Now we're in a recovery room, where staff keep coming to wake us up, prod the baby, check how Jiwon's healing, and try to get a name from us for the birth certificate. We don't have one. And right now, we don't care. We're exhausted, and we have everything we need.
Here's a photo of baby at age 1 minute, taken by our doula. They can look pretty weird when they first come out. She looks great now. Definitely a keeper. ;-)
this is a "Working Replica of Thomas Edison Carbon Filament Lamp. (as first developed in the 1880's).
It's true. It was such a beautifully weird weather that caught my eyes from the garden door. It was very sunny...with a passing dark cloud. Instantaneously, I fell in love with the sky.

This little Gorilla has some capsicums for dinner.

...and I had a monster of a camera. While cleaning some of my toy collection from a friends garage, he happened to mention that he was building a single speed bicycle. I mentioned that I had an old wheelset in my truck (and really...who doesn't?) and he mentioned that he had an old camera in his nightstand (which I found odd). Next thing I knew I had this beast in my possession. Some days are just like that.
The film box should give you a sense of the size of this beauty.
Billy relaxing in his private cat pen. He really uses his personal refuge intensively. We have officially established that Billy is a nocturnal outdoor cat rather than an indoor one. For a long time I was able to get him back in when we went to bed, but that gradually became more difficult. Once inside, he would then wake us (read:ME) up a few hours later, forcing me to usher him out again in the middle of the night.
After a lot of broken nights we have now come to a more comfortable arrangement, both for him and for me. We now allow him to stay out at night and he rewards us by offering us a few mice every morning. When I turn the key in the back door in the morning, he mostly comes running from somewhere in the garden. More and more often he's fast asleep in this pen. Let's hope this arrangement will work out well for all concerned.
This was the first time I've had Pepsi One in cans since it came out in 1998, and since they re did it last year.
It's a lot better than it used to be.
The fridgepack was interesting on this pack as well (omgz, $2 off a movie ticket!) . Oh, and Wal Mart is selling Pepsi One and Slice One for 2/$5 right now.
one for later.
Let's play a little Scopa too...

John Peroni, Giovanni Peroni beer. Since 1846.
Strobist: SB800 in darkfield lighting technique. Single Strobe behind dark backdrop in my lightbox. Fired in commander mode. TTL for exposure, dropped a bit darker to get some rich blacks.
I love those tiny bubbles in the beer...
This is a one-lane tunnel on Pearson Falls Road near Saluda, NC. I definitely don't condone graffiti, but I really did like the color that it provided to this winter day.
This shot from June 1st 1981 shows some 47s on Bath Road. Nothing unusual there one might think... however, the closest one is Haymarket Push-Pull fitted 47 709 'The Lord Provost' !
47 709 arrived in Bristol on May 13th 1981 with 4B48, the 05:20 Pengam - Bristol Freightliner (after working the 17:53 Coatbridge - Pengam liner the day before). It was supposed to then work 1E18, the 16:08 to Newcastle but was failed, and dumped on Bath Road.
Keeping her company is Bath Road's 47 254.

I hope you enjoy looking through my Flickr images. Please consider helping me pay for my Flickr subscription, and to help me buy-back some of the 4000 of my slides from the past that I'd like to get back.
I'll rescan all of my older uploads in the fullness of time.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

This shadow caused me to stop and take notice while I was driving around the back alleys of a small Montana town. One of those right time, right place kind of things. The sun must have been in just the right spot to cast that shadow. I figured since Easter is coming up I would post it.
One Green Leaf. Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. October 26, 2012. © Copyright 2012 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
One green leaf on a bed of brown and tan autumn leaves in a desert wash, Capitol Reef National Park
My two October trips to photograph in Utah extended my ongoing education about the place, and one of the locations (but not the only one!) about which I had and still have the most to learn is Capitol Reef National Park. When I first was there in April of 2012, my encounter with this park was perhaps shamefully superficial, though my excuse is that we were only passing through on our way to another place. All I saw of the park was the short highway drive that passed by the Fruita District as it passes through the park - the rest of the park beyond this small bit remained a complete mystery to me. In October I was there twice. On the first visit I was in the area enough to start to get a bit of a feel for the place, though I mostly still stuck to the most popular and accessible areas, with the addition of a bit of hiking and a long drive on gravel roads down the less-visited side of the park. On the second visit I learned and saw a bit more - enough to convince me that there is much more to this park and that it is a place I want to return to.
Although there is no evidence of this in the photograph, this shot was made in a short slot canyon in an out-of-the way area of the park. We drove there on a very cold morning and heading into the canyon while the temperature still hovered around freezing. There was no one else there at all, and we barely even saw anyone else on the long drive to get there. The little canyon itself was quite beautiful and full of interesting surprises - juxtapositions of glowing red-orange walls and shaded blue-purple walls, brilliantly colorful gambel oak leaves, large sandstone faces and walls, and more. As I investigate a place like this I try to let my eyes roam beyond the first things I see, and try to also see smaller things that could easily be missed. Here I happened to look down at my feet - sometimes a good thing to do! - and see that the floor of the stream bed was in places carpeted with oak and other leaves that had recently fallen, and this batch of brown and tan leaves held one that was still green.
