Been A Bit Under The Weather

Been fighting a cold the past few days, April has been fighting it for almost a week. I'm feeling better with a the prospect of being almost "Buckaroo" normal by tomorrow night.

Been sleeping a lot, and playing a bunch of on-line flash games, the demolition one has been the most played.

Bristol was this past weekend, a fun time was has by all. I should have some images to post soon.

Finding A Course

With the imminent purchase of a home looming, I find myself looking to new opportunities to increase the cash flow. My wife asks me to think of things, anything, that will help. The conundrum of that is that she doesn't mean 'anything'. For I have suggested many things I would be willing to do, she doesn't like how little she would see me if I did them.

I work at home on the things that interest me before and after I work the job that provides health insurance, the question I get, "How much later are you going to stay up?"

I get lost in the things I like to do, and race home to work on them, I think about the stories, the images, the drawings while I work at the job that pays the bills. I get to work out the details in my head 8 - 10 hours a day, and get maybe 2 to actually work on them.

With the purchase of the house, I will have many more things to work on, making the time I find to work on a dream a precious thing.

The next day awaits, may I use it wisely.

So if you hadn't figured out that I was taking pictures of interurbans over the weekend, please take a look at my Sunday post. With all of that picture taking, I've come up with the following image, granted there are many more, but I will share this one for starters. Enjoy.

The imagery leaves a lot to the imagination...

Public Enemies

Well, just saw the movie. I'll have to say the story was engaging, well told.

I found some of the filming techniques distracting. I'm not sure, but I'd say it was filmed using film and digital equipment. There were several sequences where there was a digital color separation, with a magenta and turquoise highlights on bright spots. I think digital filming was also used on several of the low light sequences, for the capture rate seemed oddly different for the flashing of the guns, low light noise in the frame seemed more digital than film grain in origin as well. The print I saw also had some bad high hiss audio at several spots that was very distracting.
