the daily dub

So, I’m home for Thanksgiving. I can’t sleep at all. Perhaps it’s knowing that I’m about to die a horrible death trying to run 10K tomorrow to help feed the hungry. It’s gunna be a tough run. I haven’t ran anything for a damn long time, except for that little stint of trail running with Cicily, outfitted with a photo vest and shoulder slung fat ass camera and lens — let’s just say it was interesting.

I finally updated my server to ubuntu, gentoo was pissing me off. All the needless version bumps are annoying as fuck, since you have to recompile everything, even though it’s the same damned source code… They really need to fix that design flaw.

Anyway, I’m gunna go idle online a bit and try to sleep…

Here’s a little taste of my work from Donner Summit. I blew a whole roll of high speed black and white, and a whole roll of color Infrared film up there (36 exposures each), so, expect some damn good pictures (hopefully). Both rolls were shot bracketed at half stop intervals, so hopefullt at least 12 shots will come out of each roll. Let me just say that God Damn Color IR film is expensive….

After shooting the film, I busted out my digital and took a few wider angle shots (all the film was done at 50mm, this digital shot is at 28mm, probably).

Donner Summit, Truckee, CA

I have no idea how many counties I’ve passed through in the last 48 hours — it’s gotta be in the double digits.

Anyway, I have a culinary orgasm to post today:

The Squeeze In in Old Town Truckee has about 2 pages of Omeletes that will blow your mind!

I just got a random call from my sister, inviting me up to Donner Lake, to her new digs with Sicily, her best friend. Looks like I’m headed to Sacto tonight, possibly to another date with Rachael, and then up to Donner in the morning. Should be a fun, if not completely random, trip home.

I just read the entirety of “Heart of Darkness” in less than 5 hours. Damn.
