Johnathan pauses, equipment in hand. He wasn’t expecting this.

Without turning his head away from the scene, he sloughs the camera bag off his shoulder. He feels exactly like he is hunting.

In gradual movements he lowers the bag and tripod to the ground. He flicks the camera on with a thought and plans the photograph before making it. The camera informs him that film is loaded and battery power high. It offers to scroll up the lowest speed film he has onboard: 200. Johnathan agrees and queries the lens. It’s not the best either but he tells the camera to stop it down to 22.

He pulls the camera from the canvas bag. Instinctively he hushes the camera just before it cycles up. He likes the stable position he’s in, but wants the dock aligned better. He rolls backward, off his knees. Better.

It’s been a long time since he has made a natural picture. Without a charm to guide him to the moment he just waits.

Now.

After speaking to Swope yesterday, I have decided that I will go ahead and fire up a blog for this daily writing effort. It will be private so that only the daring few that wish to read this crap can or will. And if it’s ever more than good then I could expose it to the outside world. No doubt, someone will be interested in reading my gradual upslope to stardom.

I made another attempt to get Habari up. And then failed over to Movable Type. Which I borked, but will unbork as soon as I am able.

On the same day I read an article on how to get your name off google then ran across a whole load of crap I’d like never to be found. I was up a greater portion of the morning than I expected worrying about this load. I’ve chalked it up to the sins of my youth mixed with a confusion over the traffic of two similar email lists–I was responded to both, but only one was archived.

I really need to make this into a private blog or something.  This big document is just not the easiest way to go.  Maybe this would be a good excuse for firing up Movable Type.  Or trying a Habari install again.

But privacy is the key.  These half-assed ruminations really aren’t something I’d want to expose to the masses.  Even if they did become whole-assed.  Or no-assed?

Not sure which side of half-assed is the good side.
