The Camera's Eye

Every once in a while my camera and I don't see eye to eye, and when that happens, I get some unusual shots. Here are two shots that I found really cool and unique.

The first one is called "The Ghost of Levi Past". Steve and Levi were playing ball together and when they play ball, Levi's concentration level soars high and he moves super quick; thus the picture.

This next shot was purely accidental. I was on my way home one night and I was trying to take a picture of the dense fog, but this is what I got instead. Can you guess what it is? I'll check back in a bit and share the answer.

I've always enjoyed taking pictures, I just wish I was a little better at it. Occasionally though, I'll get a shot or two, like these, that I really wasn't expecting.

The answer: Is it a lighting bolt? No, is it a street light? Yes. The fog was heavy and moving quickly under the street post. I took the shot and then in the midst of the shot, my camera battery died. Pretty awesome, huh? Thanks for guessing, that was fun.

Everywhere there is FOG

Driving in the fog reminds me of some of the flights I've taken across the country. Have you ever looked out the window of an airplane and watched how the wings of the plane cut through the clouds as you speed along? Well driving my car through a thick fog kind of feels like the same thing; except I am not going 600 knots, nor am I 41,000 feet in the sky.

I am not sure how much longer the fog is going to be around, but I would venture to say that we have been under a heavy fog since Monday. The fog that has set in this week, particular in the evening, has been kind of eerie to drive in. Many of the roads have no street lights, so the ride home has been dark and lonely, except for my headlights shining out on the misty vapor that endlessly seems to roll by.

For many people fog is a nuisance because it can be dangerous to drive in. I agree driving in the fog can be dangerous, but I still love to drive in it and enjoy having it around. I know, I know I am weird. The picture above was taken this morning right around 10:30am.
