Graduation

There was one photo from Bellana’s graduation that I was really hoping would come out. It was the only picture I took with Dad’s Pentax K1000 that I had sincerely wished was taken with my Z5. I wanted to see the results immediately. Instead, I had to wait.

It came out fine…

I knew it was going to require a huge crop to get what I was after, but I got it. Grainy goodness and all. I am really happy it worked out.

Packed

I just packed a backpack full of camera gear. Three cameras, two 35mm and one mirrorless, four lenses in total, and six fresh rolls of film. Also a shit load of various Apple chargers, a small food scale, and a couple of camera chargers.

Tomorrow I’ll put my MacBook Pro and probably my iPad into the bag too. Then I need to pack a bag full of protein bars and go to the grocery store to buy a shit load of water bottles and sugar free gatorade to put into a cooler that I want to keep in the car. I need to get ice too.

The only other thing left to pack is one collared shirt that I washed earlier today that is hang drying in the cellar. Tomorrow morning I’ll throw that in the suitcase.

Oh yeah! I also need to pack a travel shaving kit, a tooth brush, and some deodorant.

All of this for four days in Vermont.

Totally worth it. I can’t wait.

Border Cafe

We haven’t been here in ages. My former favorite restaurant is a bit of a chaotic mess today, but I’m hoping to get me some Tejas chicken.

ADDENDUM:

No Tejas chicken for us. We walked out. The restaurant was half empty and they made us take a pager. M’kay. The next couple of groups that came in also got pagers. After that, while we were standing there patiently waiting to get a table in the half empty dining room, they started seating people as they came in. We walked out. To hell with them.
