One day on the road
I miss mix-tapes.
I have only owned 4 vinyl records in my life, and I’ve never had to buy a record player, machine, turntable, whatever it was called. I really entered music consumption as it turned from records to CDs, before we could burn a CD. So we had mix tapes.
The thing with a tape is that you couldn’t change the order of songs, couldn’t skip directly to the song on your mind. You had to go through the other songs, everything happened in a personalized version of its own time. So creating a mix-tape required some planning. One song had to flow into the next, a mood established, then sustained.
I also entered music consumption at about the same time I got my first car. So for me, a lot of good songs are linked to memories of places on the highway just outside the city.
New songs, new memories, same highway.
A day at the beach
So it was cold, windy and wet. But quiet.
Boredom in Black and White.

Bright Lights and idle hands
So I bought an SB800 flash to go with the SB600 flash that I already owned. I also sold a Vivitar flash to another photographer, Nick Walter (See his Flickr posts) giving him his freedom from those Canon Speedlights.
Bright, wireless lights and idle hands.
Light and Time
So it turns out that I have a camera.
All a camera needs is light and time.
There was light. I had time.
Some Pictures.
New home, some pictures
We moved.
Thanks to Peter and Mellanie and my mom and dad. Many hands helped the move go faster.
The stuff that went into boxes is now slowly coming out of the boxes, counters that were clean are now cluttered. And that makes it feel like home.
