.... maar vorig jaar was dat niet zo. Tijdens de regens van Waldrock 2007 hebben de troubleshooters er voor gezorgd dat de techniek onmiddelijk op de droge werd gezet door pallets.

Ok, so here I am, recent and unedited. I drove from work at 4:30a to the lakefront to take pictures with my "retro" camera. It uses film and everything. It's a Minolta Maxxum 5xi for anyone who's interested. I just got most of the film developed (except for the Kodachrome, which apparently will be back in 2 weeks [I'll explain that when I post them]) and will post some soon. Some did turn out pretty well, some didn't. Either way it was a fun morning and I managed to document it here. Me in my work clothes and all. Also I'm using what I consider to be one of my better purposes a Manfrotto Tripod, with a Bogen Head

See the Base here and the super cool Head here

During the past month or so at least, I've thought about the people who's streams I look at who do the 365 thing. I've thought about doing it myself. Unfortunately I don't have the energy right now to do it or even the 52 thing. I have decided I'll try and take some more self-portraits for fun, but the rest are going to be F&F only (for reasons to be explained there.) So I'll be in the process of changing my contacts who I check out often to friends (since I feel they let me look into their lives, they can look into mine) but if I miss you, or you just "want in" let me know. I'm actually pretty open.

oh, and if you want to see the picture I'm taking here, check it out here

Common Raven or Corvus Corax URBAN

Order: Passeriformes Family: Corvidae

IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern

Taken in Hemet (Southern) California by Debbra Walker 2014

I was taking photos of a Red-tailed Hawk and unknowingly stood under a Raven’s nest. The Ravens went crazy and started attacking the fence post I was standing by while others were diving at me. They were NOT amused.

SO Nice Too Hold, SO Comfortable!!! Its All In The Bars. These Thomson KFC Cyclocross Carbon Handlebars Match Rest Of Kit Perfectly And Look Fantastic. Feel Great Too..

I Never Was That Sure If They Would Look Right But It Has To Be Said Together This Combo Works Amazing On My Roberts Transcontinental Steel Retro Modern British Classic Looking Touring Bike. Best Bike Of The 6 I Own..
