It's Sunday morning right now, and we're finally back at home after 2 weeks of tons of running around. We went to Visalia for the July 4th weekend with my parents and didn't touch much beyond a radio for the entire time we were there. Yes, they still make radios that are simply that...AM/FM radios. Hard to believe the format has lasted as long as it has...Wikipedia says Christmas eve of 1906!
We also started the new jobs and have settled into a bit of a routine there. It's with a good company and the people we work with are really helpful to each other and motivated to push forward. It's been excellent practice being on the phone and I'm grateful for that opportunity. One of our colleagues is part of a race team that runs the 24 Hours of Lemons with an E30. I'm hoping to get a big lens rented for a day at the race track to work on my sports photography and reaction time and get some nice images of their car. I haven't shot anything moving faster than a walking pace lately, so I'm looking forward to honing back in.
We spent yesterday afternoon hanging out with our good friend Cameron Ballensky. He's super inspirational and funny, I always come away from time spent with him in a great mood and looking forward to seeing his future projects. His past work is really solid, and he's got great things ahead, whatever he ends up choosing to dominate.
I ran through another roll of traditional B&W film this weekend, and 2 rolls while in Visalia, so the pile is continuing to grow. Will have to take a day and develop all 12-13 rolls, which reminds me that we need negative sleeve pages for storage.
What was on your radar the first couple weeks of summer?

Old Camera Day!
We're off of work today and heading to the fair with old cameras in tow. Haven't shot any film in recent memory, so it should be fun to break out the celluloid and practice guessing at exposure.
Pictures to come!

My Best Friend
Here she is:
She is truly, truly the definition of "better half" for me, and every day I appreciate her being there. The little things she does, the little ways she shows me that she is into me. How she's so comfortable being a completely goofy dork around me is a great reminder of what we've both put into this relationship and how grand the results can be (even if grand means you end up taking more pictures of yourselves making fish faces or really anything that wouldn't ever be sent back to families) when it's a priority for both parties.
Life wasn't meant to be perfect, even if it's something we all strive for. She makes me want to strive for it more than anything else I've ever had in my life, including all of the nasty high-school teachers and college exams I've ever taken. She makes me want to be at my best every day when I wake up, and reflect upon how well I did every day before I let myself sleep next to her. People always say, "I just knew...I can't explain it..." when talking about the one they wanted to spend the rest of their life with, and let me tell you friend, I can't explain it, and I know better than to try.
Today was a very busy day, and I've been up since roughly 2AM, so I'm shutting off my computer and am going to give myself some quiet time to clear my head and hopefully get ready for a full night's sleep. Tomorrow I am going to scan in some of the images I just got back from Dwayne's Photo Processing on some of the last Kodachrome 64 ever processed. If there's anything I think you folks might be interested in, I will share it here.
Does overnight bouts of rain make anyone else restless?
