Streetshooter

So we drove the 90 miles so Tanya could get the herbs that she wanted. When we finally parked, after 30 minutes looking for a space I felt relieved.

I put the finder on Walker and the 17mm. I held the camera up high and AF to the ground. That gives me just about the right distance for f8 Hyper Focal Distance.

With auto ISO, the camera set to lens rest no, and power management set to off, I knew It was as good as it gets.

So we started walking around....

I told her, mistake, that she was holding the saw wrong......mistake, mistake.

She told me to go smoke a cigar and leave the cutting to her...

I have not forgotten you I said, as I entered the room. How sad and lonely this room must feel as I stood in it's presence. I could feel the energy that has been stored, unused for many years.

I looked and immediately knew she was pregnant...
Those things happen when ya do...anyway...

Today it hit 62f here in Philly. Of course that means come home from work and work in the garden. I don't mind cause Tanya forgets I'm there in about 3 minutes. Actually she won't let me do anything except throw stuff away, or as she says, "Put in Garbage".

The game we play is hide and go seek photography. This is a very intellectual challenge. I dare not make an Image Quest out of this for fear of the outcome.

Tanya goes about her business and I get to...
