This has been a LONG ten days.
Last night I went to Art After Dark, aka First Friday. Saw an exhibit that included a work by a friend, then took in several other places, including a beauty salon where the wine and beer were sitting in ice in the shampoo bowls. Very cool. I resisted all that free wine. Believe me, it wasn't easy.
Today I am doing a fake marathon. I have to get my tripod out to take some pictures of myself running. I will set the camera's shutter on ten seconds' wait, then do my best. Probably more than once. Nobody volunteered to help so there won't be a refreshment stand or people holding signs or anything like that. I hope this happens again next year but I doubt it. I think it's really a one-time deal.
After that I will carpool with three or four others to the San Simeon Motel, where we will meet the rest of our photo group and then carpool to the San Simeon lighthouse, where we will spend three hours photographing. The challenge for me will be the standing more than anything else, I think. As well as figuring out how to make the most of the venture. I'm not half the photographer I wish I were.
Because I will be gone all afternoon and into the evening I will be making a large jug or two of juice to bring with me. I need to figure out a good way to pack up lenses, tripod, shutter remote, and juices in a reasonably compact way. I have decided that the marathon and the walking around the lighthouse will be my exercise for today.
