Kentucky Woman

Life is good. Seriously, the last time i felt this good was two years ago.

Thursday i went to karaoke at the GF, and i totally nailed "Bad Moon Rising" by C.C.R. For next week i'm thinking about maybe some Def Leppard or ACDC (listening to a little Motörhead right now, but i don't think i'll find any of that at karaoke).

Between Thursday and Friday, i also picked up three shots that i'm very interested in seeing. The first was Thursday evening, one of the local Chinese food restaurants lit up with the clouds behind it oranged with the last of the sun. Friday evening, i shot Canpar, it's windows a warm orange, in front of a (i'd guess) cerulean sky with fluffy grey clouds. Finally, as i was leaving my buddy Wayne's place at about 2am, the light in the second story hall his apartment building caught my eye (just trust me on this one).

I'm starting to plan things out for my birthday (three weeks), and i know i'm going to have one helluva night. Not only do i deserve it to begin with, but let's face it, 25 is pretty big deal. That's a quarter century, i've seen some amazing shit: the fall of the Berlin Wall, two invasions of Iraq by the U.S., the destruction of the Twin Towers endlessly looped on CNN, the dismantling of the Canadian welfare state (still in progress), and so much other stuff it would take me week to add it all.

This is one of the shots i was worried about (the neg was a bit munched) but it cleaned up real nicely, with a lot less time and work than i had worried it would take. It's a 2 minute exposure at f8, shot 2 February.

*edit: i've decided to title this photo "Kentucky Woman" for no particular reason (that just what was playing at the time i decided to title this).
