I took this footage with a Panasonic EZ-50 SD camera during September 2006. I created the music and this video on 8.26.2008.
This made Explore #99 on Monday, September 1, 2008 on Flickr. My favorite feedback comment was: “This is WONDERFUL……David Lynch would be envious!!!! ” David, are you out there?

I am pleased to be preparing for a former student’s wedding 2 weeks from today. I taught Caroline Cooper from the time she was in 6th grade until her high school graduation. It is exciting to see her develop and be an important part of her important day. I have sporadic communication with my newly-found father and am pleased I will be teaching at some schools in Austin this fall. Another photo made Explore on Flickr:

I had a bad car accident last Sunday night. I am better, but I feel like a rib is broken. My energy is coming back but it was scary. We spun around a few times and hit the wall and ended perpendicular in the middle lane. I went via EMS to the emergency room and had 9 Xrays. The insurance company wants to settle now but I will wait until I have the bills. I may also consult a lawyer and seek a settlement. I was a passenger in the car that was hit by another driver who was at fault.

This is a rather odd amalgam or sources. I used a Kiwi Smoothie photo from Miwa’s Note in Tokyo, lights from a video installation on Congress Avenue in Austin, my video of Zurich, SBB, a Basel streetcar in Dornach-Arlesheim, the train line to Luzern, shots above the Boden See in Germany, and the ocean at Den Haag.

Tuesday my Ricoh R8 Camera arrived from Adorama in New York. I am very pleased with it. It is mainly a point and shoot but has easy access to change exposure compensation, white balance, and ISO. It is about the size of a cellphone and so much fun to use. It is the perfect road warrior street photography camera.
I like the way it captures light and shadows and the overall clarity of the image. It does not do well in low light. In bright to average light about -0.3 through -2 exposure compensation is needed to avoid blown-out highlights. I got good results in the early morning and especially at dusk. But if you like to take artistic, interesting shots it does not disappoint!
