firelight.



after forgetting both matches and a lighter i resulted to my scouting days and attempted to produce an amber glow using the most primitive means possible. rubbing two sticks together of course. i made a small bow and tried to make a fire by friction. all i got was a little smoke and a lot of sweat. the following night i came prepared and accomplished a campfire which served many purposes, but the most important being to ward off the most ferocious predator in the mountains of west virginia. the bugs. the bugs are also the reason i look like a mexican gangster. the bandana covers my ears where tiny gnats love to drag race back and forth.

Hey Brett, how did you get those pictures so nice and crisp? I assume they wouldn't let you keep the D3 when you left. Or maybe it was a nice parting gift? :)

it's the 40D and it was a nice parting gift from the folks i lived with up there. they are amazing and so is the camera.

If ever there were a time to leave a newspaper and net some bats, it's now. I'm wondering what I'm going to do when I graduate and have a degree in a business that is making far more cuts than hires.

So if you're in Kentucky in the Fall, you should definitely come help out with Picture Kentucky.

And check out my new Web site:
