WOOOHOOO!!!!!

ADDENDUM: I guess just pasting in the flickr link into the reblog editor is a decent enough work around… I guess. I still like it better the way it used to be.
Photo a Day Challenge
Most Wednesdays, my work from the office day, have crappy pointless pics for the photo a day challenge. This morning I took a minute to try and do something a little cooler. Just a little cooler. Note that I turned the volume up full blast, which implies that the amplifier was most definitely not switched on when this was taken. I would have blown the walls out of the room if it had been playing at this volume.
I am down to the final month of my fourth consecutive photo a day challenge. Do I want to do next year’s entirely on film?

Say Your Prayers
Dig what I just saw in the back yard wild kingdom…
Looks like a praying mantis to me. I Googled “brown praying mantis” and sure enough, there are brown praying mantises. Groovy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of these for real before. What an ugly SOB (though not as ugly as a house centipede, those bastards look like pure, unadulterated evil). I would have squished it, but I think she could probably take me in a straight up fight.
Is That New?
Is that giant fallen tree branch new? Has it been there for ages and I am just seeing it for the first time or did it fall since the last time I was in the back yard, two days ago?
I Want an X-Wing
If I could have any ship from Star Wars as a personal ride, I would probably chose an X-Wing. Only because I am not a gear head and I think Millennium Falcon maintenance would likely be beyond me.
X-Wing on film:
X-Wing on digital (with a cameo from BB-8):
This post is just an excuse to post another film shot because I am anxiously awaiting an email saying that the two rolls of film I shipped to the lab last week are done. That’s all this is. Also, X-Wings are cool.
Let’s Go to Boston
What do you say, wanna go into Boston for a post-dinner walk tonight? I do!
Full discloser, I only have something like three film photos left over from the one previous time I had a film camera in the city with me, and those three pics (including this one you see here) are awful and a total waste and not at all worth sharing, but I really want to share something new because that’s what I do with these film photo things, right?
Anyway, here are a couple that have already been shared… just cause.
So what do you say, wanna go into town for a walk tonight? Let’s go!
One goal for a photo walk in Boston is to try to recreate this photo. I took this with my old Kokak point and shoot back in 2005 and I want to do it again and possibly improve it? I want to do it on film and on digital.

Morning Photos and Car Music
I pulled double duty this morning and it might throw off my whole day.
I went out early for car music, but on my way there I stopped downtown for some film photos. I took my Nikon and Dad’s zoom lens and finished the roll that was in the camera. I went to the dam and our little downtown shopping area and took a few pictures. I did not bring my mirrorless camera, but I did bring my point and shoot, just so I could have something to post here.
The sunlight was really nice for a change. It was a good day to go out.
After a short trip downtown I went to the movie theater parking lot and put vocals on three songs. I could have done two more but my voice was starting to get tired and I wanted to get home for some breakfast and a shower before work.
The one thing I failed to do this morning was my 30 minutes of exercise. I am going to have to get that in a piece at a time throughout the day. I failed to close my exercise ring on Saturday, and I failed to close my move ring (calorie counter) on both Saturday and Sunday. That ends today. No more missing rings, even if I do have a day where I am feeling sick. August starts tomorrow and I want another perfect month.
Until then, here’s the obligatory clock pic.
