Why would I, or anyone for that matter, post this same damn shot again?
Well, a new show on da CBC, Republic of Doyle, nearly inspired me to get out shooting again. After the first episode, I said to the misses “Man, St. John’s looks beautiful… I’d love to shoot in such a vibrant and colourful place!”
Ah, but it’s January… and I say nearly because it was freezing cold and windy in town today. In short, I wimped out after clearing the driveway. So it was a quick visit to the archives, and a bit of dicking around in Lightroom, and there you go.
So this new show is pretty good… only thing I could criticize them for is going a little mad with the saturation, and perhaps only shooting when it’s sunny. Alas, that would make me a bit of a hypocrite.

Since, despite my pleading, no one else is posting, I thought I’d use this shot. It’s from a few days ago, during a fleeting moment of sun.

I have very little to say about this picture. I took it while walking downtown a few days ago. Something about watching that show for two days straight inspired me to take it I guess.
I was hoping to have something new to post today. As of yesterday (Saturday) afternoon, the forecast was looking like shit for today. It couldn’t have been more wrong – sunny and warm. Unfortunately, by the time we realized that it was good weather for photography and managed to get all the little errands and bits of crap out of the way, the rain had started on the windshield.

As a result of running out of space on the external storage for the PVR, I had to purge some programming. Top of the list is Travels to the Edge. So while being housebound with the flu, and while trying to avoid some studying, I had a bit of a Art Wolfe-a-thon. It’s inspiring to watch this guy travel to exotic locations to shoot nature and the culture of locals. Despite that, it’s also a little depressing – new locations every half hour, willing subjects and thousands of $ in lenses and equipment. Add to that the 30 second Microsoft add at the start / end of every episode, and Art was toast.
Ah well, that’s a shot from our walk around Long Pond a few days ago using the kit lens.
Does anyone else see modern post production as The Great Equalizer?
