I woke up, and it was raining.

I walked through the park.

I thought about surveillance.

Someone got a new car as a gift.

By the time I went to lunch, a fog had rolled in.

The owner of this bike walked up while I was taking this photograph. He waited patiently for me to finish.

This tank of frozen stuff always makes me think of going to the machine shop with my dad.

That guy better run if he doesn’t want the giant squid hiding in the fog to eat him.

After lunch, I went out to our other building on the edge of campus. The weather turned really nasty.

Was I leaning, or do those poles really tilt that much?

Kate and I had chocolate chip pancakes and oatmeal stout for dinner.

By the time we finished dinner, it was snowing, so we decided to go out back to photograph the snow blowing across the parking lot.

I burned up the end of the roll shooting at F2 & 1/8th to get this shot. The lens on her camcorder looks huge.

The end.

    Really nice post, it felt as I was there, and believe me my surroundings have nothing to do with yours.

    The car shot makes a lot more sense to me in this context.

    What happened to the head on the stout?

    Wonderfull “A day in my life” Story. Lighthanded combination of picture and word + your wonderfull sense of humor. Did you ever think about teaching it?

    Bad pour? Dirty glasses? Still tasted good.

    Flaneur, thanks. Wanna trade weather conditions for a bit?

    ‘Did you ever think about teaching it?’

    I’m a terrible teacher. I don’t have enough patience for it, or at least not for any of things that I’ve taught previously (English, computer skills, writing etc etc etc). Perhaps teaching photography would be different, or perhaps when I get a bit older.
