Today was a lot of gray, outside. Inside, I did a lot of work, catching up for being distracted by the news last week. I have a feeling it's only going to get worse for a while (weeks? months?), before it gets better. On the plus side, I made a ton of headway in a complex domain. I ran into a friend walking home from the BART, and we caught up andd talked about things for a few blocks. A turned-off TV asked me "RU OK?" and I am. Then we got to see some other friends, just home from Ireland. They brought me whiskey, which I'm now saving for a special occaision.

Before you get to the blog post, you are aware of "what's happening in Ferguson, MO":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Michael_Brown#Aftermath , right? Good. If not, go read some news. I should note that the wikipedia article is out of date, and leaves out a lot of details. Everything has gone to hell again tonight, by all accounts.
I'm going to try someting, because the mountain of images I have to edit and post here isn't getting any smaller, and I'm not going to stop shooting, either. So, I'm going to try to post all of the images from today, today. Today was a barbeque and a walk to CVS. Met a bunch of cool folks at the barbeque. Soph made her mac and cheese, not pictured, but good all the same. It was, overall, a success.
Then there was the epic journey for benadryl. Well, a 15 minute walk, at least. The LED streetligts are weird; looks like Gregory Crewdson designed them for one of his shoots. That's all I can do right now.

Fog and gray and dark. I've been shooting more lately, socially, sort of the way I used to. I'm dicsovering my camera is absolute shit in those sitations I used to love; slow auto focus, slow to wake up, just slow. I was going to replace it soon, but it seems it'll be a few more months. At least my car is paid off, so I can save pretty quickly.
For all the people that only follow this blog, and might have been wondering, I'm still here. Still kickin'. Trying to post more frequently. The backlog is still there, waiting. The projects are going, slowly. We'll see.

Just a nice photo I took two months ago, getting coffee with the old team.
