I went out to run some errands today. I took a stop light theater pic. I promise the light was red as I was pointing my phone at the intersection. It turned green as I clicked the shutter button. No one was acting in any dangerous manner, I promise.
Also, I went to the sugar free bakery for the first time in ages. I owe myself a small reward for cranking out another RPM Challenge last month. I’ve earned a nice sugar free snack. Also, notably, unlike the last time I went to the sugar free bakery, it was open. Nice.
I tried to take a pic of the traffic as I was sitting on the highway at a dead stop. What I got was a pic of a little chunk of ice on my windshield. Oh well.
I’m still counting it as my photo a day pic. Number 143 of 365, to be exact. I took a stop light theater as a backup but who cares, the usa is gone. What difference does it make?
I put new memory cards into my camera today. Up from two 32gig cards to two 128 gig cards. Oh so many pictures! When I went out into the foggy morning to run some pre-christmas eve party errands I took the camera with me to test drive the new cards with some Stop Light Theater. Enjoy!
Told ya it was foggy. Here’s a bonus stopped-at-a-gas-station theater pic to close things off. It’s also today’s photo a day pic.
Two installments on this working from the office day. First, near home:
Second, near work:
There might be a third installment later as I will be working out of two different buildings today. We’ll see how it goes when I am through my morning meetings in Foxborough and get to drive up to Westwood. I’ll let you all know.
Today is my third consecutive day in the office. I’m prepared to be here through the full work day, but I am optimistic I’ll get to head home at lunch time. Keep those fingers crossed!
My commute was complete with gas station pictures and stop light theater.
Traffic wasn’t too bad this morning. I made it to work in just over an hour. Now we just have to deal with it until we can go back home where we belong again. Less than eight hours to go!
I went to the post office at lunch. Shipping film off to get developed was not the primary reason for the expedition, but it did happen. I keep track of which rolls of film were shot on which camera/lens/film in a notes document shared between my iPhone and my Macbook Pro. Roll 00 was the one that was in Dad’s camera when I took it. Roll 01 is the roll that broke. Roll 02 was the one I shot at Hampton Beach on the 4th of July, ect, ect. Roll 08 was the first black and white roll (Kentmere 100) and it’s sitting in the film draw in my desk. Roll 09 is in Dad’s camera as we speak. Roll 10 is the one that went out in the mail today. Why out of order? Roll 10 is the one that used Dad’s Pentax lens with my Nikon camera via an adapter I bought on Amazon. That is the gear setup I want to use at Disney World in two weeks. I needed to see some shots taken with that setup to make sure it worked, so that’s the roll that went to Old School Photo Lab today. Rolls 08 and 09 will get developed after the Disney stuff is done. Probably roll 11 too because I’d like to be able to shoot a few color film shots on Christmas morning. I need to finish roll 09 first because I don’t want anything in my Nikon until we’re in Florida. That may involve a trip to the ocean at sunrise tomorrow. We’ll see how the weather looks.
None of that is what this post is about though.
This post is about the traffic. Holy Shit! The Post Office is one mile from my house. Unfortunately you have to drive through Methuen center to get to it. That one mile took almost 15 minutes. Wow. I was in the post office for probably three minutes (done and done) and then I was back on the road. I had to take a left coming out of the parking lot though and the traffic was so bad that I took a right and circled downtown to get home. That took 10 minutes. The straight, no turns route took longer than the roundabout way out of the way route. It’s christmas so… yeah.
Also the Post Office’s front door was gone. Where did it go? Why did it go? Was it something I said?
Here are two stop light pics. Stop Light Theater at it’s best.
