Fire. Party. And some weird toy.

Well, I promised fun and adventure and pretty ladies, and the last two or three weeks have been full of that. Also full of chest cold sickness, but I’m 90-95% better now. I haven’t been this sick from a cold in years and years. The only thing keeping me together has been orange juice and cold pills. The cold pills don’t exactly seem to work, but they’re not hurting that I can tell. Anyway, this party was before I got sick.

saga of the lens

So, my 50mm (this one) broke the other night with little warning. middle of a shoot, and it stops focusing. My spare 50 was at home in pieces, and my other lenses were also at home. This is the reality of getting ambushed with shoots in the middle of a road trip. Welcome to my life.

ROLLING LUGGAGE IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR CAMERAS. Unless, that is, they are pelican cases with wheels. Then I’ll assume you know what you’re doing. Two tripods, though, that’s just silly.

back on the air (for real this time)

So, I’ve been having some issues with the site, mostly due to my own idiocy, but I think they’re resolved and anything that happens from now on will be filed under ‘new issues’. Note: When configuring nginx, just tell it to listen on port 80, leave off the ‘default’ that most configurations seem to have. If you need ssl too, that’s port 443. There.
