Just for fun, I played around in infrared while I was in Oregon. (One of the buildings is just across the California border, and the two in color are from Plush.)

This morning, I photographed a flying fish. Timmy is the dive coach at Walden Glen. Kids at the pool adore Timmy; wherever he is on the pool deck, there’s a crowd of kids of all ages surrounding him, trailing after him, trying to get his attention.
Sometimes, the crowd starts to chant, “Belly-FLOP! Belly-FLOP! Belly-FLOP! …” And when that happens, Timmy fearlessly climbs the board, sails up into the air and comes SMACK down belly-first into the water! He climbs out of the water sporting white welts on his arms, the skin on the front of him good and reddened. It’s one of the coolest, craziest summer traditions around.

mostly unplugged this week, this is my shot of the day, from several days ago.

UPDATE: The question isn’t will my drive fail, but rather when will my drive fail? Here’s the link to the post Ray remembers; my days of losing my life in a hard drive failure are long behind me. I continue to use SuperDuper and iDefrag weekly.
issue: NIVIAD card fail
model: MacBook Pro
warranty status: quality program E1
my laptop is behind the Genius Bar at the Apple Store getting repaired. the meltdown occurred late Wednesday evening & the soonest I could get an apointment was Friday, so in all fairness I’m counting total days lost.
can’t edit RAW files or open QB Pro on an iPhone. yet.

a license plate on a parked car caught my eye so I put my car in park and jumped out, ran around the front and over to the right and snapped a picture for my friend. horns are honking (among other gestures) and busy people are crazy — they have places to go. I know. so do I.
it was worth traffic distractions to get this shot for my friend — in hindsight, the effort gave us a good laugh, even if the wrong numbers rendered the photo moot (her love is an A-10 pilot.) I can’t keep those A- and F-plane number sequences straight. the Cs are easy, they come with word associations (Nightingale, Tube of Pain, Willing & Able etc.)
if you are a BMW aficionado, live in Northern Virginia and fly an A36, let me know and I’ll get you a print.

you’ll need:
beautiful blue-eyed blond friend with flawless skin who tolerates incessant picture experimentation (other looks and personalities may be substituted with varying results)
iPhone snap the pic
PS Mobile because the iPhone tends to render skin tones darker than I prefer, I use this app to bump up the exposure by one stop
ShakeItPhoto “Polaroid for your iPhone” or, the most fun I’ve had with a camera since the fourth grade
you’ll spend:
(after materials gathering) about 2 minutes.
you’ll have:
fun!

in a long line of slumber parties we’ve shared over the years to celebrate (we were born 5 days apart), each year I wonder how we’ll top the last. we stayed up way too late & laughed until our stomach muscles ached, tears rolling down our cheeks.
happy birthday, Robin! thank you for the wonderful time…

It was upstairs, a window table for two, second from the left, looking out over Bisbee when she knew for certain: she was going to marry this man. (If he ever asks; he kept her guessing just for sport.)
Fast forward 15 years, he’s at home enjoying the snow with the kids while she gets a long weekend away with her best friend from kindergarten. Thank you, Carlos, for Bisbee. Then and now.
Mrs. Robin and I had planned a dinner date at Cafe Roka tonight, but it’s closed until February for renovations. A picture from outside was the best we could do.
