Fight The Snow - Save The World
Earlier this week, it snowed as much as 8 inches in New Orleans and throughout Mississippi. This does not happen.
Global warming may be upon us, but what if there is actually an alternate issue: global snowing. It would be serious because if it is an issue, no one is working to solve it.
What if the snow in Louisiana and Mississippi is a sign the tides are turning? The first inkling of a giant snow wave engulfing the planet? Our world would become a snow globe (actual size). We might be able to survive that.
But, once the earth is an actual size snow globe, you know somebody is going come along and shake us up. They always do.
Fight the snow. Save the world.
Welcome To The Club
I see I’m not the only one who would leave their high-priced tripod in a picturesque setting for a random to gift himself or herself. Turns out, Ellen who writes for Inside Aperture had a similar experience to one of mine when photographing in the Sequoia National Forest a couple of summers ago. Here’s her article.
The point of her article: to keep up with all your gear, routine is key.
I could not agree more. Learned this one the hard way.
I had pulled off the side of a desert highway to photograph the sun dive in the beautiful Sequoia National Forest: Post 1, Post 2. It was an evening of absolute perfection. It was stunning and it stunned me right out of my normal routine. After shooting, I uncharacteristically left my tripod standing away from the car, off the road a bit. Upon nightfall, I packed everything up and hit the road.
The next morning, I stopped to take an early morning shot to discover my tripod was no longer riding shotgun. I instantly knew where it was. At least, where it had been. I frantically drove back into the desert to discover it was gone.
A random had happened upon the tripod and must have decided, “Oh, there’s mypod.”
Lesson learned. I hope.
Leftover Goodies Goalie
A goalie is an intimidating warrior on the ice.
Thanksgiving leftovers are a coveted prize - the sequel with no equal. Indeed, something to be protected.
When an icebox swings open, tasty leftovers become exposed… vulnerable to attack by many-a-random predator. The time they have left is often numbered in minutes, not days.
Even so, I can not be there to guard my stash 24/7. It was time to call in the leftover goodies goalie to disallow those who look to score Thanksgiving leftover goodness. This makeshift goalie mask cover was fashioned by pressing tin foil on one’s face (hope you can see it in this photo).
Can you see the face? Anyone care to share their leftover afterthoughts?
