It’s been a while. The well has run dry, so I’ve been doing a lot of hunting, including two rain features in the past two days. Water is wet, especially when it falls out of the sky.
Here’s some stuff from the past few weeks.
The sun rises at 6:00, but doesn’t hit the beach until, like, 7. That would have been good to know.
This guy was hunting for shells with his wife. They are from Sweden (the man and his wife, not the shells).
I think I like this one better.
Sailing camp on a lake.
BMX camp.
A car wreck I found while looking for a rain feature.
A rain feature I found while looking for a construction feature.
Look who came to visit.

On paper, today was a nightmare. “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” star Carson Kressley (the blond one) was coming to campus to talk, and since the news desk was sending a writer I figured we could send a photographer and make a nice centerpiece package out of it. The problem was that the event started at 8pm, so the photos would be coming in pretty late. I sent Britney, since I knew she could pull something off in the horribly-lit venue, but I thought I’d cover all my bases and go feature hunting just in case.
For some reason I always go to the engineering courtyard when I need a CP photo. I think it’s the lines, or maybe the fact that people stand out better among all the brick, or maybe it’s because tons of people walk through there. Today there were very few people, and all the ones who came by seemed to stay too far away from my camera for me to get them in the frame. This was total and complete luck.
I also came up with a new idea. I don’t really like the photo above (especially since the light bleeds off to the left), so I’m going to keep trying it. Not really in this same place, though. I think once it gets warmer (and the sky gets bluer (more blue?)) I’m just going to take my camera all over campus and lay it on the ground facing straight up, then go hide somewhere and fire it with some pocketwizards. I think it could yield some pretty interesting stuff.
We’ll see.
