Same haircut, different camera on Flickr.Via Flickr:Previously…
I just love the horizon, can’t imagine now what life was like before having a panoramic camera. There’s a Fuji 617 on Craigslist that is steadily dropping in price, I sincerely hope someone else buys it before I stumble into some money!

Dave Moxey’s Quake, Tsunami and Meltdown Exhibition on Flickr.Via Flickr:
Attended the artist’s talk for my friend Dave’s exhibit of his rivetting work documenting the aftermath of Japan’s Tsunami at Visual Space on Friday night. 
The Exhibition is open today from 12-5 for one last look and, I strongly suggest you try to make it out. Powerful work.
While this isn’t the greatest picture of the exhibition, I’m glad it turned out at all. This was taken, hand-held, using the slow speed on the Horizon and, it was illustrative in that most of the crowd was of an age that still reflexively jump when they hear the targetting mechanism on a Soviet 9K52 Luna-M short range ballistic missile spinning up!

My Take on the Rolls Royce on Flickr.Via Flickr:
Since Eric and Mike have posted theirs, I suppose I might as well post my take on the Rolls Royce we came across on Saturday waiting to take a newlywed couple to their matrimonial bliss. 
Sadly, not quite the shot I wanted, maybe I’ll look through the viewfinder next time. I should’ve panned left to include the happy couple getting their pictures taken on the steps of St. Andrews. The guy with the cane though, perfect.

"There was once a word used---swing. Swing went in one direction, it was linear, and everything had to be played with an obvious pulse and that's very restrictive. But I use the term 'rotary perception.' If you get a mental picture of the beat existing within a circle, you're more free to improvise. People used to think the notes had to fall on the center of the beats in the bar at intervals like a metronome, with three or four men in the rhythm section accenting the same pulse. That's like parade music or dance music. But imagine a circle surrounding each beat-each guy can play his notes anywhere in that circle, and it gives him a feeling he has more space. The notes fall anywhere inside the circle, but the original feeling for the beat isn't changed. If one in the group loses confidence, somebody hits the beat again. The pulse is inside you. When you're playing with musicians who think this way you can do anything. Anybody can stop and let the others go on. It's called strolling…."
