Its been a year since I’ve written a LiveJournal post or “blog” entry. Between a busy year at work sucking creativity and Twitter reducing thoughts to two sentences, there hasn’t been any motivation to write for myself.
Time to get back into gear, and a fresh website and new tools should get me going again. Nice portable laptop, new phone with keyboard, and my nice Nikon D50 camera, I have no excuse that there isn’t a way to publish. And, soon, I won’t have the excuse that I don’t have anything to write about. So, here I go!
Last night was the grand “media opening” of the production I’ve been working on for the last three months. Engineering my portion of the show was incredibly stressful, had lots of room for errors and embarrassment, and took all my energy. But, finally, the show is running, all my equipment is working properly, and even with no real practice or decent tech rehearsals, the show looked flawless.
Holy crap, what a show. Its going to be fun to do this nightly. Directing 9 cameras, all graphics, and calling the action. Freaking crazy busy. Woof.

Still suffering the wait while the damned $0.50 plastic mounting ring part is backordered to repair my normal lens.
In the mean time, on a drive home from working the show I went looking through an industrial park looking for shots. Totally couldn’t find anything interesting so took this 1-second exposure of the strip. Airport fence between me and the goods, plus cruddy location, plus no patience to be artsy = this bleh shot that I upload to teach myself a lesson: Dont jpeg when tired.

I broke the mounting tabs off of my 18-55 kit lens and its in for repairs now. I’m shooting things, timidly, with the bazooka-length telephoto lens. I took a jpeg of my car for my a href=”http://www.fuelly.com/driver/presence/accent”>Fuelly page/a> with it, and I had to stand back like a quarter mile to get just the little bit in the shot.
