Light Painting 2

Light Painting

I attended a light painting [photography] workshop with Trevor Williams this weekend and had a great time.  We stayed out photographing until midnight on Friday, then a few of us stayed up until 3am talking photography.  Saturday we shot from 7:30pm-12:30am, went to sleep at 1am, then woke up at 6am because our host (Chris Willson) had a client to shoot at 6:30am, so Trevor and I went along to assist and second-shoot.  I'll break up the pictures into a few posts over the next few days.  From the first night (these are straight out of the camera, so the colors are not great):

Marlin #100

This is Yukibo's 100th career marlin and the 22nd this year.  I was supposed to go out with him yesterday but had a work misunderstanding that left me required to attend school with no classes to teach on a day I thought I should have had off.  Days (and bureaucracy) like that - and missing out on things like this - are the nails in the coffin of full-time jobs for me.  I'm not sure I can ever do a 40 hr/week job again, so hopefully I've saved enough while here to assure there's no reason to even consider it.

Oh yeah, congratulations Yukibo!  72kg.

Aka Sports Day - Saki

Aka had their sports day (undoukai) today so I've got a lot of blog content for the next week.  Will try to get one up every day.  Saki (three years old) on her dad's knees:
