Laurie’s annotated bibliography about code switching became a “cat-otated bibliography” with “cat switching” as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern took turns checking out our progress. Guildenstern was very persistent, and insisted that lying on our papers, computers and arms was great help as we worked late into the night. The geese are foraging in one of Wagner’s fields every morning.
Another evening of the beautiful light at sunset along the Rio Grande.
Nothing like a horse drawn carriage to back up traffic on Corrales Road.
I don’t think this lovely scarecrow is very scary, but she does cut a good hay figure. Fall is in the air — I saw a couple of sandhill cranes fly over this morning, so I went out to the river before sunset and a small flock flew by. The problem is the river is running really high and fast, so the places they normally roost are underwater. The Martinez House got its color coat, and the cottonwoods are turning yellow.
You may have heard of “air guitars” or “air drums”, well, while I was using Laurie as a model to test exposures before the 60th anniversary shoot, she started using an “Air Camera” on me.
Yesterday was Jim and Ann Mogford’s, aka Laurie’s parents, 60th wedding anniversary, so they came over to have their photos done. They had a lot of fun cutting up in front of the camera, and they were great models. The photos are straight off the camera with very few adjustments to the raw images and no post processing.
Open door in the Old San Ysidro Church.
Fedex delivered a box with a couple of printer cartridges this afternoon. When I opened the box, the bubble wrap exploded out of the box, kind of like a jack in the box. The result actually looked quite natural on my desk. The photo on the wall is Cranes in the Mist.
I believe this is a 1956 Chevrolet Bel-Air.
The egg sandwich I made for breakfast seemed particularly worthy of a photo. Mama Manx was walking around the yard like a kitty queen, and the answer to our morning congestion was all the smoke in the air from people burning their fireplaces (haze in last photo).
