RE: Blogging

Memo From the Desk of Zorlack:

It's been a while since I've written here. For those of you reading this post and thinking "I told you so". Yes, yes you did. Also, get off your horse.

For you the reader: Here is a list of new truths.

1) I will not attempt to catch up: The futility of trying to get a casual blog-reader caught up with the goings-on in my real life is enormous, and any attempt would not only be unsuccessful, but very boring as well.

2) Here be format changes: Yes, I will no longer be posting exclusively about photography. I've decided that since, on occasion, I do think about other things, that maybe those things should be fair game also.

3) Some things will stay the same: I'm the same person, more or less.

I feel like every return-from-hiatus blog post should follow the following format:
¶1: Hello
¶2: Yeah, yeah... I forgot about you
¶3: Here's what I'm gonna do this time around (in a list)
¶4: Recursive meta discussion regarding return-from-hiatus blog posts
¶5: Conclusory mea culpa.

So, in sticking with the format, and without further stalling: I'm sorry for disappearing. My bad.

Praise be to sunlight

Praise be to sunlight, that glorious thing which makes my Saturday afternoon warm.

The weather has been bad lately. Really cold. This fact, combined with the daylight-savings-related lack of light, has made it difficult to take pictures. Not so today.

I'm a Westport native. Never mind what my birth certificate says. Somehow its never occurred to me that they don't charge admission to get into Sherwood Island State Park in the off-season. Lesson learned. This gives me a whole new beach environment to take pictures of. Not only that, but the buildings have a great 70's style to them that makes them look incredibly dingy and interesting.

Bam!
A lot of the pictures I took today where under incredibly harsh sun. I slapped on the CPL and under-exposed everything. I like the arctic-winter feel that it produces. Expect to see me post a few more of the pictures from today. I feel like this was my first good day in a while.

Boring Technical Note: My circular polarizer fogs up. A lot. Its starting to become problematic. I need a cloth that I can use on it.
