no more band-aids
We were at the Crowfoot YMCA for Evan’s last swimming lesson for the year. We often stop for a few minutes to watch the games in the gym before heading into the changing room. Not much going on in there today, but the lines and reflections were great.

today’s @dailyshoot challenge was to shoot an everyday object as close as possible. This bike is both an everyday object, and an every day part of my life. this is as close as I could get with the 50mm lens.
unfortunately, I blew the focus on this shot – I must have moved after focusing, and at f/1.8 and that distance from the subject, even a mm or two will blow focus. dangit.
we went to see Where the WIld Things Are today, and got there a little early.

early morning activity along the north side of campus. construction crews were just firing up the cranes, and traffic began to pour through the area.

My folks needed this vintage 1962 Williams Trade Winds pinball machine moved out of their basement (they got it in 1979 from my uncle who ran an arcade supply company in Edmonton, and I spent many hours playing on it as a kid).
It went straight into ours. The Boy™ is fascinated with it – and I am blown away by the analog electronic design of the thing. It’s a work of art, inside and out.
