Journal Entry: Thu Sep 3, 2009, 4:23 AM
Hello. First, housekeeping:

1. Standard apology for not having updated this journal in eleventy squillion years: I'm sorry I haven't updated this journal in eleventy squillion years. Everyone else updates their journals with interesting stuff, I just don't have much to say.

2. Shop is going well. It's paying its rent, which is a big deal for a small business that's only been open a couple of months.

3. Storm season hasn't started yet, so there're no new lightning photos.

In the "new news" department, we have:

- I bought a new dining table and chairs. OH YEAH.
- I'm reading Dawkin's latest book, and it's as spiffy as I expected.
- I recently bought an old Olympus OM 50mm f1.8 lens and an adaptor so I can whack it on my E-510, so you can readily anticipate a deluge of photographs of very small items enjoying themselves in the tiny slice of clarity between the front bokeh and the back bokeh.
- All is well.

Take care, drive carefully.

R.

Thank you so much! It's one of those things that requires plenty of practice and lots of spare time. :)

Yes :D
It mostly storms here at night, and my parents would get rather furious if i'd go and take pictures ;)

Fair enough, I can't blame them for that. :)

You'd be surprised what you can photograph out of your window, though. It's safer and you'll learn the same tricks. :)

I took my first (good) lightning photograph out of my window. :)

Do you have to flash when you take a picture of lightning?

Try as I might
I will do wrong
And though it seems
To take so long
I am empowered
To hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
