2009 - FINALLY!

Good Morning, World. It's 7am, there was about 5cm of snow last night and as you can see, very few people have been up and about. Just crazoids like me whose circadian clocks ring every morning at about 5am.

The shot was taken from our living room window (you don't expect me to go out in that stuff at this hour?) It's quiet and peaceful out there. And, in a hour or two, people are gonna drag out of bed and screw it all up.

I used my camera's "Raw" mode and processed the image data myself (badly, as I just started looking at this process the other day.) I'll attach the shot the camera would have given me below.

Did you make any resolutions? In his short story "Barrel Fever", David Sedaris's main character talks about his outrageous (and ultimately very funny) mother. After her death from cancer, he finds little index cards containing her resolutions; they had been tucked between the pages of her copy of "Mein Kampf" (you had to be there.) He wrote that the index cards, one per year, all had the same resolution:

"Be Good"

That's a start, don't you think? Be Good. To whom? At what? You decide.

As promised, the camera's version of the street where I live. Despite my lack of "mad skills" with UfRaw, I like mine better.
