Thanks from me too, soosh.

My day job let’s me buy good lenses and other camera stuff I don’t need but really want. Plus it’s really hard and rewarding; so I plan to do it for a while longer. Like others have written, I’m a bit afraid that if photography were my job, it wouldn’t be as much fun.

Change o’ topic. – Earlier tonight, my wife and I were going through the pics in this theme. She and I agree that the Marlboro Man is numero uno. It captures the essence of the theme really well. She saw it and said, “I like that one. It looks like the Marl… Hey! That’s the title.” 🙂

Then we went further and saw some dude’s pics of mining ruins. She commented that there was some other fool who likes photographing dirty abandoned stuff like I do. Then she said, “Oh. It’s soosh. He’s kinda crazy isn’t he?”. I said, “Yeah. Kinda. I think he’s smart and crazy”. 🙂 (I had to google ‘magnesium ribbon’. Neat stuff. Is it fun? I mean, like, mildly dangerous fire-stuff fun?)
