the daily dub

(trying something new)

Ruthie,

  I really had no idea who you were. You stumbled upon a bearded man photographing the roman candle jousts. Almost instinctively, you challenged one’s ability to photograph in that little light. I graciously accepted, and you conceded – such is life.

We got to talking, your name’s Ruthie, mine’s rdub. Nice to meet you. You slide in closer.

The joust is over, but I’ve long since lost interest. The warmth of your body replaces my desire to photograph with my desire to touch.

I’ve posted my photos from Rick and Hannah’s wedding. Thank god for Aperture — it made editing the RAW images so much faster (the lift and stamp tool — I could kiss whoever thought of that).

Anyway, I’ve posted them here:

I come to you now, live from the playa. I’m sitting in the spot that will eventually be point 2 of Burning Man’s Pentagonal perimeter.

The dust is not too killer since there is absolutely NO ONE out here. No Joke, this place is empty — it’s really cool. I drove around yesterday (got my car up to 100+ mph!) and did some donuts in my car — haven’t done that since Pismo Beach.

Ryan Joseph is coming up Monday, and he wont be disappointed. Snafu – rjoseph never made it.

Photos:

KK, just before his Roman Candle Duel with Thumper.

KK’s hit! Medic!!!! Oh shit, that was the medic!!!

I did some stargazing myself (among other things):

I even stayed up long enough to catch a spectacular Playa Sunrise!

Oh, and if you haven’t figured it out, my trip to Alaska is a fake — I did it so Jake could fly home on the same date and completely surprise his parents at the airport. They’d get him when they were expecting me — which is awesome since they set me up for a blind date already!!
