There’s something about night-time and snow. Dark sky, light ground. Quiet, cold. Still. It has a very particular feel to it.

A few nights ago, I took a few photos after everything was dark and quiet. I’m pleased with how they came out.

Looking out the front of the house, at the old church across the street…

Then out the back of the house, at my backyard…

Technical details: The camera was my 60 year old Zeiss Ikon Nettar, using GP3 Pan film at ISO 100. Processed for 7 minutes in TMax 1:4 developer.

When you spend an hour in The Chair at the dentist, and find it to be a comfortable, quiet place you can relax and not worry about work for a little while.

Sorry bout the lack of posts. Between work and CFS and stress, I haven’t really had much to say.

About the only extracurricular activities have been playing with lasers, and most of that’s been documented on the Lasers page, so it would be redundant to post it here.

Still, just to keep things going… Today’s a bad day to be a match around here. I’ve been cooking them off, in an effort to capture some really good dying-match scenes. Here’s a couple of my favorites.

Match succumbs to Green Laser!

Flare jet from match almost hit Pulsar!

Burning red match with red Pulsar!

Not much to report this week.

Also, been a bit grumbly, as in grrr, angry.

Three of the four elephants finaly came; one was DOA so I had to send it back, the other two were good. The last one is lost. A search party is being organized, I am told, and fingers have been crossed that it will turn up eventually. So elephant-wise, this week we are 2 for 4, which is an unhappy ratio.

All that combined with a very busy and stressfull-work week have amounted to a lack of Transmissions around here. Some new activity on the Lasers page though.

Hopefully the weekend will decrease stress and increase post-worthy occurances.

Cheers.
