It appears as though the cranes are spreading to the East Bay now. It’s only a matter of time till we all have to decamp for portland; there’ll only be room for cranes left. I do hope that by continuing this daily photography, a subject will emerge. There are a lot of things that I end up photographing over and over and over; the light changes, the fog rolls in, and I’m still shooting. That said, all this could be all terribly banal bullshit. When I’m at my most self doubting, that’s all I can see. I’m not sure if the repitition or the persistence will work, either. We’ll see, won’t we? I don’t have it in me to quit.

Trying to get back to normal blogging. Been sick, off and on, for the last few weeks. I went to the hospital last night, they gave me fluids, said it was something viral, nothing they could really do, and sent me home. Anyway, I’ve got a ton of pictures that I need to get out there.

I’ve spent the last couple days feeling like death. There’s a flu-like something going around. Anyway, I’m alive, despite lack of posting here, lack of work, etc. etc. I’ve been looking at these too long, so I cut out the redundant ones, and I’m just putting them up onto the page. Death Valley was magnificent. For-real beautiful. I’ll let the pictures tell the story.

So, day 2, I wake up after not the most restful night. I’d spent about 3 hours sleeping in the hammock, and when that got too cold, I moved to the tent, which was warmer, but really uncomfortable, as I hadn’t brought a ground pad. I went into town, got some breakfast, and decided I just wanted to get moving. So, I started off down the road. I’d expected it to be a shitty 2 lane affair, but found an expansive four lane highway for a lot of the journey south. I put a lot of miles under me in the first few hours, and the country was no less amazing than what I’d seen the day before. I shot out the window, while driving. It’s not nearly as dangerous as it sounds, when you’re the only car on a four lane road. It’s also not terribly productive, but I can’t stop myself. Then, I came to “Manzanar”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manzanar. the middle three pictures are all from there. It’s one of the things we as a country should be ashamed of. It’s a pretty long list of things. Like a good tourist, I stopped, took my pictures, and moved on. It is worth remembering, though.

Looking back, I wish I’d spent more time at mono lake. I’d spent the whole firs tday stopping, though, and really wanted to move on. These photos are all from all the stopping. Still, really amazingly beautiful.
