I was looking through some photos from last year around this time (or rather earlier - September through October) and for some reason I had the camera set to wide-sized photos throughout most of the days. Very interesting - I do remember discovering that size and using it more often than I do now. The photos definitely have a different look to them when they are focused on the length. I like it.

Elk Fest 2010


We went to Elk Fest back in October and I guess I've neglected to post any photos from it. This was the first time I went and saw (heard) elk bugling (that I can remember). It was definitely a very cool experience and I intend to do it again every year - though now I know not to plan the trip right during Elk Fest in Estes Park because it is slightly less cool when you are standing there with dozens of people snapping photos. Which I, of course, took a picture of myself. Hopefully I'll dig into the pictures I did take and post more...

25 hours in a day


I wonder who ever thought it would be a good idea for a "full-time" workweek (in the US) to be 40+ hours per week? I wish they wouldn't have. If we would all give up just 5 hours a week, I believe the unemployment rate (about 9%) would significantly decrease. Alas, we're all too greedy and somehow think we actually need the money.

So, here I am updating with less than 10 entries a month. I'm trying to re-evaluate my schedule and really find out where my wasted time is and how I can be more efficient with it. It's not working out just yet. I really am looking forward to winter this year because it'll force me to slow down (I hope) and do some things I've been putting aside (like work on my photography).
