Ocean Shoot Mark II

The sun will come up at Hampton Beach tomorrow at 5:31am. If I am going to get there in time I have to leave the house by 4:50 at the latest. I would have to be out of bed by 4:20 or so.

Can I do another sunrise shoot? The second one in a week?

I’m pretty tired tonight… but I think I will pack the cameras into a backpack before bed tonight. You know, just in case.

Photography is fun, isn’t it?

TV

Doctor Who is gonna be jealous.

I’ve been binge watching the two Doctor Who shows with a vengeance. Last night I made the mistake of getting distracted by other shows. Season two of Foundation started a few weeks ago. I know Azimov readers hate it and all, but I am not an Azimov reader and I enjoyed season one. I watched the first episode of season two last night. When I was fishing through the Apple video app looking for it I saw a link for Silo and, well… I had to start that too. Now on top of that, season two of Good Omens comes out today so I have to watch that one too.

Doctor Who is still the TV priority, apart from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which I watch as soon as the new episodes are released, but I am going to have to share TV time with some other shows as well. I also want to get back to Severance and Party Down and Star Trek: Deep Space 9 and The X-Files.

Our television cup runneth over, right? Sheesh!

Addendum: WordPress.com seems to have changed the reblog editor. Doesn’t this just suck? Next time I’ll put the image first and see how that goes, but if it’s not going to display the image in the reblog snippet, I am not going to cross post anymore. The image is the whole point. Shit.

Nickname

Daily writing prompt
What’s the story behind your nickname?

Let’s start this from the very, very beginning. My father’s name is Robert. Folks call him Bob. When my mother was pregnant for the second time she and my dad decided if they had a boy they would give it the same name as my father. That boy would be Robert, Junior. That boy ended up being me.

So my name is Robert. There are two syllables in the word Robert. To shorten it down to one syllable , thus making it easier to say, people started calling me Rob.

In other words, I don’t really have a nickname. Sorry, daily writing prompt.

They Got ’em!

Just got the email from the film lab saying they received the two rolls of film I shipped out on Tuesday!

WOOHOO!

Expect some newly developed and scanned shots at some point in the next 5-10 business days.

I reiterate: WOOHOO!

Two Things

Two things to note. First, we’re going back to Disney World in September. It’ll be just for a few days and I haven’t decided if I am bringing a film camera again. Second, I sent two rolls of film to the lab! New film shots coming soon, I hope!
