about 15-20 minute exposure. apparently most the ambient light in the photo is coming from the house. interesting how that works…so far no reciprocity failure that i’m aware of…then again, colour shifts were never an aesthetic problem for me!

you’re up butt late. a false “alarm” eaaarly saturday morning and a real one early sunday morning…why not set the tripod up in the back yard, trip the shutter & forget it?

saturday night/sunday morn was Super Windy–got some star trails and some surreal trees coming up to see. :)

…the answer would be

sharon jones and the dap kings.

they need to update–but you can hear it there. be amazed. then support!
i’m a tad ashamed that i hadn’t followed like i should have. i’ve got a gang of their 45′s, and the “dap dippin’” album. “naturally” dropped wayyy back on my *birthday* this year, and i slept. what??

entire set posted from the show, of her performance.

chocolate was dope too (a local sister). chali 2na came and rocked it at the end of her set!

in other joints–hadn’t even heard this eddie kendricks joint “girl you need a change of mind” before. wow.

by dof, i would assume most entries will focus on shallow dof (no pun intended…okay it kinda was).

alternately i guess i coulda chose a wide wide angle shot with everything in focus.

but i don’t know of any immediately.

at the end of what has to have been the best live show of the year in seattle, i looked to my left, and who did i see, TYFS!! K kindly obliged to doing me a photo with miss sharon jones, and subsequently was a part of helping me stay out of trouble at the end of the show …by the way…mallory[sp?] if you happened to have found the card again :) and looked at the site–please holla back. i was very stupid about not seeing you back to a cab, and do not know if you made it home okay!

photos that i took coming up, maybe tonight. :)

since i gave ‘em my card though, i’ll apologize in advance for using them as an example, LOL.

i get asked this so much by people: “what do you do with that”, i.e. my camera, which i carry often around my neck, when i’m in “break mode” at work, and nearly anywhere else in public. i could come in with purple spiked hair, and 20 gold chains on, and people wouldn’t (publically :) call me out, but if i walk in with a camera…it’s quite the oddity.

i tend to get more nervous around these new fangle digital devices than an “in your face you know when i’m taking your picture and i’m not being creepy about it” camera…for example (hah i don’t think he reads this) my boy on the bus, who took a video of this cat beat boxing yesterday on the bus, on the sly.

i won’t front. stuff was mad funny.

the only good answer i can give folk now days is my card.
it’s all practice.

i had first come to learn of this cat, actually through that flick Redemption. then read up a bit more on opposing viewpoints. Regardless of what the deal is, I am not a proponent of the death penalty; it’s tough to even fathom that we still have such a thing in the United States in this day. I’ll have to read what people make up about it that would make it biblical, ‘cos i don’t see it, post Advent.

living goes on for the rest of us.

i don’t want to make light at all of the fact that he is responsible for creating an organization that’s responsible for all sorts of evil. But while i do so, i’ll make light of the fact that we *all* are responsible for a single evil that is deserving of death.
