About Time

It's been awhile, but it's about time.  About time to take a step out the front door, and see what you've been missing while sheltered inside.  Time to board planes filled with babies that won't stop crying, and sorority girls who, much like sharks, would probably die if they ever had to stop talking.  It's about time to take a step across the threshold and into a foreign land.  Time to start taking pictures of the world outside again.

Part of my job, besides doing what my boss tells me to do, is to do whatever any other bosses in the building tell me to do.  So today, because a visiting professor had just arrived in town for the College of Education's annual conference on indigenous languages and their systematic repression, my job was to escort said professor to various buildings across campus to complete his check in to the university. I met Waldo at around nine in the morning, and with the keys to the car loaned to me by one of the administrators of the conference, we set off for the Office of International Affairs.

The trip was like most I've been on.  There's the initial frustration with last-minute packing and stuffing people, pets, and their things into the car and leaving on time.  After the first five minutes, the frustration wears off, and a kind of happy-go-lucky period sets in.  Everybody is smiling, making jokes about how we always get frustrated at first.  ...

Grass

Grass is something I never get tired of photographing.  It can look so many different ways, whether it's green grass, or dried-out grass, or wet green grass, or wet dried-out grass.  Pretty interesting stuff.  Anyway, I found some good looking grass when I got to my parent's house this last Friday.  The lighting was good, and I didn't want to miss the opportunity.
