    Wanderlust 4x5 P&S

    Ok, that Pynchon novel is up next, after I defeat Mason & Dixon. I'm 70% through. Ben, have you read Mason & Dixon?

    I know an English teacher who abandoned Against the Day, so I know I have my work cut out for me. Please, no spoilers.

    For easier reads, Inherent Vice is hilarious and relatively understandable, even if it never really makes sense. The film is terrific. The screenplay and novel are so close that it does not matter which you experience first. Bleeding Edge was a pretty good novel about the deep internet.

    I did yes. I wasn't aware that was the case. Obviously, I'll try and nail the focus point as much as possible! Of course, I've never minded a tiny bit of softness overall.

    Badly underexposed M2 flashbulb bar scene, shot tonight with the rig I posted.

    My good friends, Turbo and company. The other guy is a professional Alaskan Firefighter who has been working the West Coast fires. He will be home in 2 hours and then back to fight.

    God Bless them all.

    Also went to Central Camera with Travelwide. Several other people had already showed them the cameras. A father daughter team with 2 hanging on their necks!

    First time I shot was today. 8 handheld without GG using the supplied sports finder.

    I need to get way closer to everything. I don't shoot 90's on 4x5.

    Just seeing what I can do handheld.

    The flashbulb shot was spur of the moment as they had 4 minutes and gone to Alaska. Good thing I actually believed they were running out the door...
