Loved those pics.
My favorite one: empty street, overcast sky, person in blue walking up the sidewalk.
Happy birthday, Christine.

Most poetic thing I’ve ever seen — outside of those photos.
Now let’s see if I render another logic bug …
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.

Great pic!
As a military family, our children rarely spend Christmas in the same place twice. So working with that, we try to make family traditions flexible worldwide. For example, we take them to the Nutcracker each year and recount years passed how many cities across the globe we’ve seen it in during the holidays. We have tickets for today’s Septime Webre’s The Nutcracker starring George Washington as the heroic Nutcracker and England’s King George III as the villainous Rat King. I can’t wait. Our tickets are for the showing at D.C.’s historic Warner Theater.
Only we woke up this morning to all this snow!
So we went sledding instead!
The blizzard continues, D.C. is shut down. We’re inside now, all warmed up and sipping hot chocolate. This might be the year we reschedule the Nutcracker for January, which makes 2010 the historic year that we’ll see it twice!
Carlos is heartbroken, stuck indoors on a day the Saints are playing. :) (thinking of you, Tommy and Katie!)
And I digress here, but sledding down that tiny treeless hill this morning brought back so many fond memories of recklessly sailing down mountains on Les Schwab tire tubes, dodging evergreens, and the completely insane hooky-bobbing of my youth. On days like today, I think of all my Oregon friends and smile. :) Miss you guys!

Loved the pictures. Love, Mom
We went to Harpers Ferry yesterday.
In an unplanned and unexpected twist that life sometimes grants, I found myself wandering alone down a lonely, dusty, West Virginia road. It ended at a large field, and through the trees I could see tents and hear noise. So I trekked across the field only to be met by a fence, but a little farther along the fence and back through the trees I found a spot in disrepair to slip through. It was a flea market.
As I wandered between table after table of stuff, I came across this man, strategically sitting in front of the Zeiss Ikon, Voigtländer, Mamiya et al that caught my eye.
Street photography interests me, but its an art I’m not practiced in. (And that’s to say nothing of the very loud mirror-slap in my D700.) I prefocused and shot while walking, especially as I passed by large mirrors propped on the ground. It was a fun, interesting experiment and one that I’m going to look for more often. While these aren’t necessarily keepers, at least it’s a rough idea of what the place was like.

Arthritic fingers, perhaps, Ms. Gardiner, from snapping all those Hershey bars.

I didn’t buy any of the cameras from the WV flea market; BUT, about a week or so after this blog post, one of my very sweet readers shipped me an Argus that she found while she was out and thought of me! I have gotten it all cleaned up but need to run a roll of film through it, and that’ll be a post all its own. stay tuned, Sheila!
some casual Fridays are more exciting than others, I guess, huh?
